MSNBC host Donny Deutch found guilty of scamming realtor out of $1 million over the sale of his $30
UK Daily Mail ^ | October 30, 2104 | David McCormack

MSNBC host Donny Deutsch has been found guilty of scamming a realtor out of over $1 million in commission on the sale of his former $30 million home in the Hamptons. Real estate broker Edward Petrie had claimed he was done out of his 4 percent commission after Deutsch went behind his back and brokered the 2010 sale privately to avoid paying the fee. Petrie had found a potential buyer in hedge fund boss Howard Marks, but once Deutsch realized he knew Marks, the realtor claimed that the TV host went behind his back. Justice Charles Ramos awarded Petrie’s employer, Sotheby’s, $1.2 million in compensation in court last week, reports The New York Post.

Should MSNBC be renamed the Cheaters Channel. They have Al Sharpton who has blood on his hands, plagiarist Mike Barnicle, Steve Rattner who paid over $6 MM settlement for bribery and I believe had his license for investment taken away, and now Deutch. Did I miss anyone else?

That was an open and shut case if the realtor had a listing contract. End of story. Deutsch saved himself a bunch of legal fees, that case should not have lasted more than about 15 minutes and Deutsch’s attorney should be sued for malpractice for even bringing such a case.

I will bet you Deutsch actually sues his atty for letting him get to trial. A**hole liberal. But I repeat myself.

OK I was thinking Long Island or the Hamptons and it came with lots of property. Have you been there?

‘The ruling was based on the Sotheby’s broker’s contention that Mr. Deutsch agreed to a 4 percent commission arrangement. This is an outright and absolute lie.

Either there was an exclusive broker contract or there wasn't... which was it?

It’s on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. It was shown in either a magazine or a website and it made me laugh. I’ve heard he’s gay (has anyone heard that?) but he walks around with greasy kid’s stuff in his hair and loafers without socks. Sort of like the Jerry Lewis/Dean Martin character in “The Nutty Professor.”

Deutsch is the chairman of Deutsch Inc., an advertising agency founded by his father, which he sold to the Interpublic Group of Companies in 2000 for US$265 million.

On February 25, 2013 on Piers Morgan Tonight, Deutsch declared that he is a member of the Democratic Party.[10] Deutsch has also stated: “I’m a feminist”.[11]

11. http://on.msnbc.com/1i108ZK

On his house, he paid $29mm for the house, held it 3 years and sold it for $30mm. That means he made $1mm. Over a 3 year period, that is a compounded annual return of 1.1%. Now with the attorney’s fees and commission he is forced to pay, he is a LOSER!

Delusional liberal Deutsch made the incredible claim that Obamacare was a “wild success” on MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ program.

And on a positive note for Donny:

Donny Deutsch Gets Himself Fired From MSNBC After Pissing Off Keith Olbermann

TVNewser reports that he got booted after a segment yesterday in which he ran a clip of “angry” TV hosts—including Keith Olbermann. One of his guests then referred to Olbermann as one of “the biggest hate mongers on television.”

Well, this explains MSNBC's alignments.

Felons and criminals, all.
