BUCKINGHAM TOWNSHIP, PA — A mansion formerly owned by a prominent Bucks County family convicted in an insurance fraud scandal is back on the market following a public auction last year.

The Stoney Hill Road property, which was ordered up for auction last April by the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office, was previously known as Clairemont. The property has been renamed to Camelot Court and is currently listed at $3.4 million.

Clairemont was the scene of three fires over five years, in June 2009, Aug. 2010, and Oct. 2013. An investigation into the family concluded the Risoldi family had defrauded an insurance company for millions of dollars to support an "excessively extravagant lifestyle," officials said.

Socialite Claire Risodi and her son, Carl Risoldi, were convicted of numerous charges following a Grand Jury investigation into false insurance claims that netted them millions.

The property, which was sold at the auction for $742,500, has since been renovated, according to the listing. You can view the full listing here.
