#1 I wonder who the money is behind Sharif El-Gamal? He picked up the former Burlington coat factory for a song--around $4 million. Still that' s a lot of money for a recently transformed waiter. It would not surprise me if Bloomberg waived these taxes all in the interest of "religious tolerance (sarc)."

#3 A fly-by-night ~~scam artist~~ real estate developer hasn't been minding his Ps and Qs? Quelle surprise.

But since the property was wrecked by 9/11 and probably hasn't been earning to pay taxes, they've probably had ten years worth of empty pockets & unpaid taxes. IIRC, downtown Manhattan property taxes are appallingly high.

#4 El-Game-the-System should ask the Treasury Secretary for advice on how to handle it. I'm sure Timmy would have an answer. >:-(
