The 28-year-old man charged in the fatal limo crash that killed 20 people was living an opulent lifestyle ahead of his arrest, it's been revealed.
Nauman Hussain, JetBlack who operated his father's Prestige Limo service, lived in a 10,000 square-foot rental home in Albany, New York, with his brother Shahyer and would often buy multi-family homes across the region.
The $1.3million yellow manor they rented for $4,435 a month is complete with an indoor swimming pool, private tennis court, heated floors, and a sauna.
'A lot of luxury vehicles with tinted windows,' one woman told the Daily News. 'We never saw anything other than the cars going in and out because they were never really on the street.'

Neighbors said they often saw luxury sports cars coming in and out of the winding driveway that led to a three-car garage

All 17 passengers were killed along with the unlicensed driver and two pedestrians when the stretch limousine rented from Prestige Limo ran through a stop sign and careened across an intersection and crashed.
Another neighbor said the brothers, 'moved out late at night, like maybe 10 or 11 o'clock. I could see into their parking lot, I could see the lights and trucks.
'I watched as it went out the driveway and I could see that it was a moving truck.'
The brothers' move out of the seven bedroom and seven bathroom home came just days before one of Nuaman's limousine crashed while carrying the group of family and friends heading to a surprise birthday party Saturday.
Nauman, 28, was arrested at a traffic stop and charged Wednesday morning with criminal negligent homicide after it was discovered the limousine had failed inspection.
He has since been released on $150,000 bond.
Nauman, who runs the day to day limo operations, reportedly hired the driver who did not carry the proper permits.
'We saw the limousines coming and going but we had no idea they had a limousine business,' said one neighbor.
Neighbors said they seldom saw the brothers, except on occasion when Nauman would walk a small dog
The home is complete with seven bedrooms , seven full baths and three half bathrooms

New York State Police Superintendent George Beach said Hussain had previously been issued written violations by the NYSP and the Department of Transportation noting that the 'driver he hired should not have been operating the vehicle' from Saturday's crash.
'That vehicle was placed out of service by the DOT and should not have been on the road,' Beach said during a press conference.
'The sole responsibility for that motor vehicle being on the road Saturday rests with Nauman Hussain.'
On Wednesday it was revealed that Scott Lisinicchia - who was behind the wheel of the 2011 Ford Excursion before the crash - was cited for operating the same limo without a proper license by a state trooper on August 25.
'Clearly, there are people that were doing things that were far below the law and someone has to be accountable for it. That's not a way to run a business,' another neighbor told the Daily News.
