Getty ImagesNo one's ever questioned that Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has money to spend. His latest "spending spree" reported by the New York Post sure turned some heads and it also got someone fired from her job.
According to a Post report on Tuesday, Snyder had “spent $600,000 on two alligator leather desks with matching alligator-skin chairs for his offices at FedEx-Field in Landover, Md.” The newspaper reported Snyder bought the pieces from the new Giorgio's of Palm Beach on Madison Avenue in New York.
A day and a refusal of purchase out of Snyder's camp later, the Post now reports Claire Gozzo has been fired from Giorgio's Palm Beach furniture store for making a false accusation to the paper.
Store owner George Sharoubim said, "I apologize to all concerned in this matter. I had no knowledge of this. I never use the names of my customers and my employee lied. She has been terminated from the company."
