From cross postings on this thread, apparently Mrs. Patti Blagovitch was their realtor for the sale of the strip of land tween Barak and Rezko. (sorry,forgot to capture the exact link.)

Next shoe to drop is commercial real estate. All those bankrupt stores and business will leave behind empty, unleased space.

I posted this same article earlier today, but please tell me how this qualifies as Breaking News?

I remember one of the Enron execs did this in a cul-de-sac near his house back in 01 or 02. Couldn’t face his family either.

[ichabod1]

Oh, I wouldn’t give them that much credit. People that are too attached to their money can lose perspective. To think that I would kill myself because I owed some company some money. It’s like a joke now, but I used to really feel desperate about it.

[ichabod1]

BARACKED.

Blago’s wife.

“If he had insurance for a long time they have to pay out I believe. My policy was ten years, then they pay on suicide.

I know this because my wife first looks at the balance, sighs, then looks at the calendar then looks at the gun rack. Never figured out why she does that every time she pays the bills either...”

Funniest...post.... ever. LOL Wow.

Sorry didn’t see it on here but it was top of CNN news. The Breaking part is that it is an official “Suicide” vice a suspected Suicide.

Already started in my area.  There are at least two newer strip malls that are completely empty.

[The Anti-One]

How many people close to Clinton died to protect him when he was in office? I suspect many, many more will pay the ultimate price for being associated with the obombanation.

looks like “Arkancide” is being replaced by “Chicagocide”

Arkancide is child's play... this is CHICAGO we are talking about. Happy St. Valentines Day, sucker...

[RockinRight]

Coulda been that...or coulda been Obamacide...

[SunkenCiv]

Maybe he was suffering from some kind of IL-ness.

From a quick google:

Sheldon Good & Co. is conducting two outcry auctions to dispose of 36 properties in the Northeast and Illinois. On May 19, the Chicago auction firm will sell 22 properties in New York and New Jersey, including apartment buildings, industrial properties and raw land. Later in the month, the firm will sell two pools made up of 14 Chicago-area apartment buildings that are subsidized by HUD. For more information ...

Well, he was 'in the business'. . .and with many 'close Associates' no doubt. . .
