Nothing new here. The stories of their conflicts go way back to the early 90s. Most of the stuff is not even hard to uncover. But the press is never interested. The two are coated in teflon.
You're right. But the magnitude of this is breathtaking. $25 billion in real estate with commissions ranging from 6% to most residential, but in some instances up to 30% for the lower priced properties.
We're talking about hundreds of millions in potential income for Blum's company and his clients - and as the principle, I would think tens of millions to Blum and his wife directly. Even fro DC, that has to be some kind of record boondoggle.

You are so right about that ElkGroveDan. Mr. Blum is also a big arms dealers, even supplied some in the Iraq war. I recall about 10 years ago that he got a waiver to import ‘assault rifles’ from China from the Clinton administration....this while his wife is clamoring for more gun control for us.
