$85 vs. $32mil.... as if somehow that makes it better? You're not defending it, but you sure as hell are toeing the line with defending them lol
And "it wasn't criminal in nature" but the judge called it "organized crime type activities"
I'm a Vikings fan. Dont have any desire to change that. If I did, I would've done so.
Stop deflecting onto other teams. That is a common theme on this board.
The topic were our owners. And our stadium. Who gives a sh*t about Skins Packers or Patriots? Not me.
BTW, did you mention that the lawsuit in 2013 was going on 21 years of legal wrangling by both parties? Or did that little fact escape you? The original lawsuit dates back to 1992.
Yup this sounds criminal to me.
Maybe the most remarkable part of the whole dispute is how simple it should have been to resolve, had the parties involved not been so committed to being right. The origins of the case, as outlined in a 2006 court decision, go back to the 1980s and the Wilfs' plans for a project with some people they knew, Joe and Abe Halpern.
Abe had to borrow money from his sister, Ada Reichmann, and her husband, Ralph. This is normal family business stuff, except not that many people have a brother-in-law like Abe's. Ralph was part of a family that founded what was once a global giant in real estate development, way up the food chain from the Wilfs.
Abe eventually assigned his interest in the apartment project to a company called Jarwick, which was created by Ralph for Ada Reichmann. Ralph told the Wilfs he stood ready to invest capital in the deal.
That day never came, and in early 1992 one of Ralph's associates learned from Zygi Wilf that the partnership had borrowed money and wouldn't need any help from the Reichmanns. Jarwick was out.

I advise all of our fans on here to read the deadspin article while I posted a link to in this thread, and make their own conclusions.
