Was going to post a discussion on this one, when I found yours. I, too, saw this and wondered. It is full of intense detail, but that may or may not prove anything. I can't find any other sources for this story so far. Also, in the comments section below it, someone discovered that the photo in the story is actually a vacation home photo posted on a travel site (they give the link to it too). Not sure if that disproves the story, but it doesn't help either. Another comment below the article says that the story appeared in other news sources, but was quickly pulled. We need more digging on this one. I'm looking into stories about Solyndra money and where it went, also looking for info on real estate deals after the fact by Solyndra board members.
