I saw very good qualities Alexi - loyalty, respect for the elderly, self-deprecating humor, humility - in fact, I found AG very similar to another young up and comer - Many Flores. Two good guys, it seems to me. <BR/><BR/>Alexi's got a huge target on his back placed there by rivals and the realities of politics and Dick Durbin helping him out - I hope that he survives both of those liabilities.pathickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051997614374510451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10143237.post-64130549728751978652009-03-31T13:26:00.000-05:002009-03-31T13:26:00.000-05:00I can see the commercial now:[Granny-Grifter take ...I can see the commercial now:<BR/><BR/>[Granny-Grifter take 1]<BR/><BR/>An elderly grandmother walks into a bank with the help of two mobsters and a moll, their criminal records are displayed. The grandmother cannot understand the contracts so the mobsters "help" her, show info on the mobsters relationship with the Broadway Bank. Show the Grandmother's home, just west of Greektown and explain how it was stolen by Alexi and his mobster pals. Show Alexi's answers under oath in court ("I do not remember") over a picture of Sgt. Schultz from Hogan's Heroes. Show the grandmother walking away from the house stolen by Alexi and his mob buddies.<BR/><BR/>Everybody has elderly family members and we can all relate to the outrageous fraud that Alexi and his mob buddies pulled.<BR/><BR/>Pop the corks at the victory party.<BR/><BR/>Another outrageous aspect of this was Alexi's testimony under oath, he claimed to not remember 2 mobsters and an octagenarian taking out a $1 million loan because he was only on the job for a few months at that time. Call me crazy but that is something I would remember for the rest of my life. Does the Broadway Bank do a lot of business with their mob customers?El Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16850720184628306378noreply@blogger.com
