Default Abramoff linked to assasination of businessman?

State to seek death penalty for trio in murder of S. Florida business tycoon

By Jon Burstein
Staff Writer
Posted January 12 2006


The Broward State Attorney's Office plans to seek the death penalty against the three men charged in the gangland-style execution of Miami Subs and SunCruz Casino founder Konstantinos "Gus" Boulis, according to court documents.

Prosecutors filed paperwork last week that they intend to seek the death penalty against Anthony "Big Tony" Moscatiello, Anthony "Little Tony" Ferrari and James "Pudgy" Fiorillo in Boulis' February 2001 murder. Assistant State Attorney Brian Cavanagh, the case's lead prosecutor, declined to discuss the case Wednesday.


..snip..


The shooting came four months after Boulis cut a deal to sell SunCruz to a partnership, including Adam Kidan, a New York businessman, and Jack Abramoff, a high-powered Washington lobbyist. The business agreement between Boulis and Kidan had soured, with Boulis trying to regain control of the company when he was shot.

Kidan and Abramoff have pleaded guilty to lying on financial statements and creating phony documents to persuade lenders to back their SunCruz bid. Court records show that when Kidan ran SunCruz he made payments to companies headed by Moscatiello and Ferrari.

This started out as a mob hit back in 2001 of the owner of SunCruz, a fleet of casino cruiseships based in south florida. Turns out Abramoff was trying to buy it.. a deal which turned sour.

Wow. Sounds like there is about as much there so far as there was in the Vince Foster possible murder and conntection to the Clinton's.

Come back when there is some kind of evidence showing something other than he tried to buy something from him once.

Ehh? Did you not read the articles? The evidence that there is a link between hitmen and the Kidan/Abramoff partnership is already a matter of record.

The sordid tale of a GOP lobbyist's casino deal gone bad.
by Matthew Continetti

::snip::

Moscatiello, Ferrari, and Fiorillo are not the only men who have been arrested lately in connection with the SunCruz Casino line. Adam Kidan, the former owner of the Washington, D.C., Dial-a-Mattress franchise and for nine months (September 27, 2000, to July 9, 2001) the president of SunCruz, turned himself in to Ft. Lauderdale police on August 12. The day before, Jack Abramoff, the ex-lobbyist, former movie producer, and for virtually the same nine months (September 27, 2000, to June 22, 2001) the vice president of SunCruz Casinos, had been arrested in Los Angeles. A grand jury had indicted both men on charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud in their purchase of SunCruz. Kidan and Abramoff are free on bail. Their trial is scheduled to begin on January 9.

I wonder if our resident Republican "moderator" will consider it a link now.

The trial, hopefully, will reveal whatever connections there are.

I mean, all we know for sure is that, shortly after the Kidan/Abramoff attempt to buy SunCruz fell through, SunCruz's owner was shot to death by people who received money from Kidan/Abramoff. What sort of a connection is that?
