In 2009, Ryan LeVin, the super-rich heir to an Illinois costume jewelry fortune, ran over and killed two British tourists with his Porsche before speeding away. On Friday, he plead guilty to two counts of vehicular homicide. But instead of receiving [a]...prison [sentence]...the 36-year-old will be serving two years on house arrest in Fort Lauderdale -- in a luxury oceanfront condo owned by his super-rich parents. Why? Because he made a secret settlement with the widows of the two men he killed, essentially paying them off to avoid jail time.
