F6, the 2nd link .. "Yes, Donald Trump will fix all of those things, through his patented business strategy of "licensing his name out to third parties for an 8 to 15 percent cut" and developing vaguely-scammy condo-hotels [ http://nymag.com/news/features/45591/ ]."

is quite a read .. on page 1 .. "During the course of its breakneck-speed construction," .. the thought was, hmm, mafia involved? .. then immediately ..

"the bones of what may be nineteenth-century slaves have been discovered at the site, alleged Mafia ties have come to light, a worker was killed when a shoddily built wooden mold gave way, and a poorly secured panel of glass blew off the building and rained shards down on the sidewalk." ..

Aside .. I guess it is still the case that no one would become big in the construction industry without some touch of mafia connection, so no big deal ..

then think page 4 was the first mention of the giant Australian construction outfit .. it tweaked my curiosity ..

"The contractor, Bovis Lend Lease, had previously been involved in the protracted and disastrous disassembly of the Deutsche Bank tower near ground zero, stalled since the deaths of two firefighters in an August 18 fire. Now Bovis faced a new round of scrutiny."
http://nymag.com/news/features/45591/index3.html .. so nothing to do with Trump, just out of interest, i wondered about other controversies around them ..

Since this is really apropo of nothing of interest to anyone here, and kinda peripheral to Trump, have decided to just give you two
search links as there are a number of links in each which are related to Bovis controversy and mafia . just out of interest if ..

Google searchs .. "bovis lend lease controversies" .. "bovis lend lease mafia connections" .. at least one incident in those is mentioned in the article ..
