There is a report that the fallen media magnate Conrad Black has sold his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida.

The Palm Beach Daily News reported that the manor was purchased by a family of California 23.1 million US dollars, or $21.97 CDN.

The newspaper attributed information to a deed of guarantee of the Palm Beach County Clerk's Office.

Black was released last summer, while the courts deal with the appeals of his fraud and convictions for obstruction of justice that landed him a prison sentence of 6 1/2 years in the United States.

The manor house built in 1973 allegedly has five bedrooms, six bathrooms and a guest house.

Municipal archives indicate that the property is a "total" square feet of 21,672 which includes a tunnel under the street which allows the main property to be connected to the beach.

Real estate broker that Moens Lawrence told the newspaper that he has received two written offers other potential buyers interested in the House.

"I had buyers and sellers of great," Moens said Thursday, describing black and his wife, Barbara Amiel Black, "gracious people.".

Two of the three Black fraud convictions were quashed in October by a U.S. Court of appeals. He confirmed the conviction of fraud and the other for obstruction of justice.

His lawyers have formally requested at the top of the Court to consider the two convictions against him.

The black last year has tried in vain to convince a Chicago judge to enable him to return to the Canada while out on bail. He cited health problems not disclosed his wife.

Amiel would have lived in the Manor of Palm Beach couple most of imprisonment of 28 months of her husband, in a federal prison in Coleman Fla.

His lawyer told the Court last year that the home of Palm Beach was not "a suitable residence in his State" in the heat of flames of a Florida summer.
