1/ Central Florida Corruption requires a deep dive, but I thought a good place to start would be billionaire owner of Westgate Resorts, David Siegel.

3/ The Siegel family is deeply rooted into Central Florida Politics. He even once claimed that it was because of HIS illegal actions that Bush won in 2000.

4/ In Cocoa Beach, he bought and renamed the "World Famous" Cocoa Beach Pier after his company.

5/ Another company that likes to rename landmarks is Delaware North out of Buffalo, NY. In 2015, they sued because they weren't allowed to rename Yosemite Park. They run The Kennedy Space Center visitors complex.

6/ New York Governor Kathy Hochul's husband is an executive and lawyer for Delaware North.

7/ There's interesting connections in Cocoa Beach to all the corruption in Central Florida. Wade Vose of #VoseLaw is the city atty for Cocoa Beach. His firm received over a quarter million dollars from Joel Greenberg during Greenberg's epic crime spree.

8/ The Mayor of Cocoa Beach is a VP with SouthState bank(formerly CenterState Bank), which recently went through a multi-billion dollar merger to become the largest regional bank in the Southeast U.S., headquartered in Winter Garden.

10/ John Morgan's involvement in the pot legalization in FL is widely known.

11/ What is not widely known is David Siegel's daughter died from a drug overdose in 2015 which is when he became vocal about the opioid epidemic...which is ironic considering how much drug money gets laundered through casinos.

12/ Coincidence that Sheldon Adelson's "Clinic For Drug Abuse Treatment and Research" spent over a hundred million dollars on republican politics in 2020?

13/ David Siegel made waves when he threatened his company's employees to vote for Mitt Romney in 2012. That's probably extortion under Florida law, but those things aren't prosecuted here.

14/ Probably why DeSantis called Florida a "Citadel of Freedom" at CPAC in Orlando. Of course, CPAC is being held in Budapest, Hungary this year...which is Moscow's Eastern Europe hub for FSB operations.

15/ Seriously.

"Come May 18th, (CPAC), for nearly 50 years the largest and most influential gathering of conservatives in the world, will assemble in Budapest, with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán as its keynote speaker."

16/ But was it the trip to the Bahamas in 2018 that really tied it all together? 🤔
