This is a long article and difficult to excerpt.

I recommend reading the whole article.

Though the bid ultimately failed, and there was nothing illegal about the involvement, it drew Giuliani into a complex partnership with the family of a controversial Hong Kong billionaire who has ties to the regime of North Korea's Kim Jong Il and has been linked to international organized crime by the U.S. government.

I don’t consider it appropriate for public officials to advocate on behalf of gambling interests. Yes gambling is legal, but there has been so much mob connection to it over the years, I would refrain from any activity other than oversight. Even then I would seek to allow law enforcement to do it’s work, and would be very careful what legislation I would sign on to involving the industry.

WOW — great find. Does this now make two separate Giuliani Partners engagements so far linked to organized crime figures (in addition to Giuliani’s link through the alleged mob ties of Kerik and others he appointed/hired)?? In addition, the gambling industry overwhelmingly has donated to Giuliani above any other donk or pubbie presidential candidate. Shady, to say the least.

If Giuliani has nothing to hide, then let him disclose the client lists of his various companies. His flack now says he can’t do so because his clients require confidentiality. However, previous reports say that it’s the other way around — it’s Giuliani Partners itself that required its clients to sign confidentiality agreements (one report on this is here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/12/AR2007051201270.html)
