WTF! So the guy steals over $500k in coins and currency, but it's not that bad because he has a disorder where he has to buy Michael Jordan cards, and the only way he can do it is to steal and sell coins on ebay to raise the money. You couldn't make something like this up if you tried!

A RARE coin expert obsessed with basketballer Michael Jordan collector cards stole $537,000 in coins and banknotes to ''self-medicate'' an undiagnosed mental health condition.
A psychologist yesterday told a Melbourne court that Marcus Loricchiella, 31, ''achieved a level of psychological comfort'' through offending and then trading in the cards.
Jeffrey Cummins said while Loricchiella stole for greed, by stealing from his employer, selling coins on eBay and then buying and hoarding Jordan's cards he gained solace and support.
