This eerie, abandoned New Jersey mansion used to be the beautiful home of a Wall Street fraudster who lost his fortune in the 2008 financial crisis.
A shutterbug who calls himself The Unknown Cameraman snuck into the sprawling Colts Neck home last month to find it in disarray.

The master bathroom was tagged with derogatory graffiti including the N-word sprayed on the mirror in red paint with a smiley face underneath.
The $7-million home is owned by David Findel, a 51-year-old former mortgage executive who was thrown behind bars in 2011 for his role in an $11-million loan scheme uncovered during the market crash.
Findel, who made a name for himself when he lavishly dropped $400,000 on the best New York Jets tickets in MetLifeStadium, also was convicted of fraudulently claiming he was bankrupt.
Investigators discovered he still owned eight watches totaling $55,000, $14,000 worth of fine china, 500 bottles of wine worth $44,000 and $8,000 in artwork.
He also still had his 2009 Jeep Wrangler, $41,851 in cash and his New Jersey estate.
Findel was released last March from prison for selling fake mortgage loans for a year when he served as CEO of Worldwide Financial Resources.
