|
Edited on Thu Aug-11-05 01:51 PM by skip fox
http://www.sanluisobispo.com/mld/sanluisobispo/12359111... on edit, snippets and another source: <snip> FBI agents were seeking to arrest a once-powerful Washington, D.C., lobbyist on Thursday after a Fort Lauderdale federal grand jury charged him and a New York businessman with scheming to defraud two lenders in a $147.5 million purchase of SunCruz Casinos. <snip> http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/wplg/20050811/... <snip> Local 10 News has learned the first indictments have been returned in connection with the contentious sale of the Suncruz Casino boat empire. . . . . Local 10 News has learned that two very powerful men are named in the federal indictment: Jack Abramoff, who is a hugely successful and well-connected lobbyist in Washington, and Adam Kidan, who was the public name behind the partnership that bought the Suncruz empire from the late Boulis. Abramoff and Kidan were partners in the deal. <snip>
