What bfar said. There’s a finite amount of housing AND, unlike other gazillionaires in New York, there is only one neighbourhood option for hardcore, rich SYs. It’s not like they have the option to look at the prices and say, “Hmmmm, I think I could probably get more space in Montclair…”
“Besides, if there really was money laundering here, do people really believe the Feds, IRS, etc. wouldn’t be ALL over it?”
No, not at all. There’s fraud all around us all the time and the feds can only do so much about it. Legion, want to give us a run-down of a few “physical therapy” operations in Brooklyn that are defrauding medicare out of millions of dollars?
Besides, it would be incredibly hard to prove anything, no matter how clearly the facts seem to speak for themselves. It’s not at all obvious to me that the feds would pay attention to this.
“[ ] seems to be worth it to the guy plunking down the money”
Let’s see:
1. “[The house] seems to be worth it to the guy plunking down the money” NOPE. SORRY, BUT JUST NOPE.
2. “[The house and some other stuff] seems to be worth it to the guy plunking down the money” MUCH MORE LIKELY.
I believe the subject in the sentence is “the guy.”
“Have you been to the upper east side?”
Yeah. The upper east side is actaully near things that are worth being near. Gravesend is near what, coney island?

“and the real rapturing will now occur in October”
The What predicted the end of the world would happen on October 16 (2008).
I think I figured out The What’s identity.
Hi everyone.
“Dunno, Lech- seems to be worth it to the guy plunking down the money”
Obviously – but the lack of a subject in your response is quite telling.
So you’re saying Biff is right, dibs? 🙂

Only if the What is now a shiveled, old white guy with serious delusions of grander, biff. Hmmmm…….
