Indeed, it was a business deal gone sour that might have finally forced his guilty plea in the Washington corruption case. He was scheduled this week to go on trial in Florida on charges that he and a business partner, Adam Kidan, falsified a loan guarantee as part of a $147.5 million deal to buy a fleet of casino boats.
