This is an IHeart podcast.

KFI AM 640.

You're listening to the John Cobalt podcast on the IHeart Radio app.

We are on every day from one until 4 o'clock.

And then after 4 o'clock, if you miss any part of the show,

that's what the podcast is for, John Cobell's show Show On Demand on the IHeart Radio app.

Federal agents arrested the real estate executive Stephen Taylor, accused a bank fraud,

identity theft, money laundering, saying Taylor used fake bank records,

bogus lines of credit, purchased the property for $11 million.

It used to be a senior living center.

sells it for $27 million, a $16 million profit, and nobody knows where

the money went and why the Weingart Center would pay that price after Taylor used fake

documents and fake information to get the 11 million.

And on top of that, even more importantly, the neighborhood doesn't want this place.
