In fact, the cows are apparently non-existent.

Kiefer Sutherland is the latest to fall victim to a scam in the good ole USofA – nothing so mundane or boring as identity theft or a charity gone awry. Nope. Kief got nailed for $869,000 in a cattle scam. Yes. Cattle. Joining Sutherland on the list of “the scammed” in this particular scamming masterpiece was a New Mexico couple, who pumped another $177,000 into the investment deal. Simpleton arithmetic = over 1 million.

For scam artist Michael Wayne Carr, it looks as if his career in the cattle industry will be short lived. To date, there is no evidence that he ever actually purchased the cattle. His plan: Buy a large group of steers in Mexico, and resell them in the United States at a handy profit. While he didn’t purchase the Mexican cattle, he did one-up himself by finding and selling a large herd of steers that didn’t belong to him in to offer some return on investment. Carr is scheduled to be arraigned on 12 felony counts, February 8th, and is looking at a potential 18 years if convicted.

Breakdown: Kiefer Sutherland is a multi-millionaire, and understandably, with the market as it is, he’s looking for other investment opportunities. And honestly, why invest in something you understand like independent film or a new TV series with a dynamite cast that would probably double your ROI in a year or year and a half? No, bro. Go for the cows! You just have to think that Jack Bauer would have seen this coming…
