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.

Wish we could give posts a “like.”

Can we count Rachael Maddow buying fake twitter followers by the thousands two or three years? Not illegal like your examples but definitely cheating.

When a place is described as a “house” I think of it being built on the ground but I guess this is a highrise building. No wonder it is so expensive.

he is a nice looking man but his chest muscles look more like “man boobs” not a good look in t-shirts. :)

LOL.

I believe it is a town house - that means it is, indeed, from the ground up. You should see where Woody Allen lives! The Upper East Side has mansions because it is where 19th Century industrialists lived. Frick, for instance, lived there. His palatial home is how a museum.

I have been to NYC a couple of times but not for quite a few years. In Houston things are torn down and rebuilt constantly so I thought that those older houses were probably gone. Glad they have been saved but ....... $30 thousand dollars!!!!!!!!! Yikes!

Some were torn down years before you or I were born. But there still are some. His is probably much more modest than Woody Allen who bought the old Harkness House estate. Ridiculously pretentious - but what else is new?
