Miami-Dade Is Suing Jeffrey Loria
At the end of last week, I explained how Miami could possibly get back some money from Jeffrey Loria by filing an accounting suit and seeking to freeze the $50 million still escrowed from the sale of the club. On Friday, Miami-Dade County did exactly that, asking for Loria to explain his “fuzzy math” and asking the court to freeze the escrowed monies.
It’s still not terribly likely that Miami-Dade gets back anything close to its investment, although there is a good chance that the County could get something. And depending on what the protective order in this case looks like, it’s possible that Jeffrey Loria could be compelled to open his books.

Weird time to shit on south florida, bro.
Not if you’re an asshole.
the parkland children didn’t deserve what happened. neither did Trayvon. but the people in charge are trash, who work in concert to create a trash environment. and in that environment, chickens come home to roost.
