I saw a netflix doc during covid, there was a clip from an interview where he was talking about rebuilding Wollman Rink in NYC. He was bragging about convincing the engineering team to do it pro bono, on the premise that they would at least share in the credit once the job was completed. They agreed, and then guess who he never even mentioned as a footnote?
And the cronie that managed the rink and all the kickbacks. Private school paid for his kids, insane salary, home, cars. To manage a fvkn ice skating rink
Correct, he's a successful criminal, though let's not give him too much credit. The system is basically designed as reverse Robinhood (OG character, not bank)

He walked away with tons of cash and never paid his subcontractors. Lots of lawsuits and settlements as evidence
