2 associates of Jack Abramoff are now in jail in Florida, charged with capital murder in connection with a mob-style hit on a Florida businessman that Abramoff swindled in a real estate deal involving casino gambling boats.
Here is where things get interesting. Abramoff and his associate, disbarred lawyer Adam Kidan, used a fake wire transfer to defraud 2 lenders out of 60 million dollars to finance the deal, and the owner of the casino boats, Gus Boulis, didnt get a penny for his boats. This is what Abramoff and Kidan have both been indicted for.
Right after Boulis started contacting the authorities, and after a physical altercation between him and Kidan, he was gunned down mob-style. Now the kicker. Kidan paid $95,000.00 to one of the killers for "unspecified purposes". He also had his daughter pay another one of the killers $145,000.00 for his work as a "food and beverage consultant".
Looks like some Republicans thought they were so powerful that they could literally get away with murder. Corruption does that.
