The article looks at how lobbyist Jack Abramoff was caught in the midst of political corruption. Konstantinos Boulis, a Greek entrepreneur, was forced to sell SunCruz, his offshore casino operation, as part of a secret settlement with the feds in a fraud case--and the buyers were Abramoff and Adam Kidan. In fact, the indictment in the casino case was strong enough to persuade Abramoff that he needed to bring the separate but intertwined federal probe in Washington, DC to a swift conclusion--or face a prodigious amount of jail time. Abramoff and Kidan, a disbarred lawyer and founder of a mattress company, planned to use the company to get additional management deals of Indian casinos and to push SunCruz's operations into the Northern Mariana Islands in the Pacific. Kidan and Abramoff had trouble with Boulis. Boulis threatened to kill Kidan--but was himself murdered. Police have charged three men with Boulis' murder, including a man with ties to Kidan.
