A person who doesn't want to pay taxes on that 400,000 piece of property that becomes worth millions but still wants to make a nice profit. A person who needs zoning changed to make that money but would raise suspicion if he influenced that change while owning the property.
The crooked bastard who bought from Reid supposedly thinks there doesn't need to be paperwork because they are friends. Reid is a freaking Senator and is supposed to be squeaky clean, both of these assholes know this.
Prepare yourself for the Caveman Lawyer defense from SNL.
PLUS, Reid SUPPOSEDLY paid the Property Taxes, although late one time, on property he DIDN'T own??? I don't think so.
A person who needs zoning changed to make that money but would raise suspicion if he influenced that change while owning the property.
I agree more with your 2nd point.
Reid is too slick to hide this over a tax liability...especially since he had no idea in 2001 what his profit would be. Especially when he's hogged the soapbox preaching about GOP transgressions.
Trying to get zoning changed without his name anywhere on a deed makes sense however.
F***ing BINGO!
