Donald Trump pairs up with ex-con for real estate deals

Today's New York Times reports on the checkered past of one Felix H. Sater:
At 24 he was a successful Wall Street broker, at 27 he was in prison after a bloody bar fight, and at 32 he was accused of conspiring with the Mafia to launder money and defraud investors.

Along the way he became embroiled in a plan to buy antiaircraft missiles on the black market for the Central Intelligence Agency in either Russia or Afghanistan,
My first reaction: What's a perfectly nice guy like that doing associating with a clown like Donald Trump? Mr. Satter's (he added an extra "t" to his name) employer, Bayrock Group, has partnered with Donald Trump on the construction of the Trump SoHo tower. Satter has been going around promoting potential projects involving Mr. Trump.

Check out the Times piece for more information about his interesting background and involvement with Trump.

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. Sure, he's had his run-ins with the law, but his background can't possibly smell any worse than Donald Trump's cologne.

Thanks to Gary Weiss' blog for drawing my attention to this one.
