1500 hundred bucks for dinner??? Did they order a whole cow?

Two Colorado funeral home owners accused of abandoning nearly 200 bodies took payments from families that were meant for cremations and burials and instead bought vehicles, cryptocurrency, a $1,500 dinner in Las Vegas and other personal items, prosecutors and an FBI agent said.

In a courtroom packed with families of the deceased, FBI Agent Andrew Cohen on Thursday detailed that Jon and Carie Hallford used payments from the families to buy two vehicles -- a GMC Yukon and an Infiniti — for more than $120,000, enough to cover cremation costs twice over for all of the bodies found in their business’ storage facility in Penrose, Colorado, last October.
