One investigation is expected to be launched by HPD into various issues with the the deal, the other investigation is allegedly a Federal investigation requested by Mayor Pedro Segarra during a request he made to US Attorney Deirdre Daly earlier today.
The investigations are believed to the result of red flags raised by numerous questions in regard to the development deal. One question is the amount of work that has been claimed to have been done already on the site and payments made by the City using Capitol Improvement funds approaching $700.000. Much of that work and the scope of the work is apparently now in question.
According to City Hall sources, a stop payment order was placed on a check today that had been issued for additional work in question amounting to $305,000 . Numerous other questions have been raised regarding the authenticity of a letter of credit apparently given to the City by the developer showing credit of $404 million dollars from Barclay Bank as of June 2015. That letter appears to be signed by an individual, according to sources, that has not worked for Barclay's since 2004.
It is unclear the involvement or how this information was passed by numerous City Hall individuals, including Councilman Ken Kennedy, a major proponent of the project or Development Director Thomas Deller.
This deals needs to have the breaks put on and much more scrutiny needs to be shined on this project before moving forward.
Much more coming on this one.
Dont you all worry, Ken Kennedy will distance himself and blame anybody but himself. He will play the race card like a fiddle and cry conspiracy.
ReplyDeleteThere should be a collection or investigation into where the Hartford 21 supermarket money is. ....
Ken Kennedy WILL slither away like the snake in the grass that he is. Going door to door telling lies about how smart he is or what he can do for my vote. I voted you out you whopper of a man.
Watching handcuffs put on Ken Kennedy would make my year, federal prison. Lol. He would have a big X on his back like a big cupcake...
Ken Kennedy has ALREADY distanced himself from his own deal.
DeleteTom Deller, the other moron, was pushing with this deal for quiet some time now. What a sloppy, irresponsible bastard Tom Deller is.
Who will rat on the other first? Deller or Kennedy? Lock them both up. Hopefully federal prison for both of them .....
ReplyDeleteLOCK KEN KENNEDY UP, LOCK TOM DELLER UP, LOCK PEDRO SEGARRA UP, BEFORE THEY GET HARTFORD IN DEEPER TROUBLE.
DeleteThe Pedro-Tom-Ken Triangle that brought us the failed Yard Rats stadium, is cooking something terribly new again.
DeleteHopefully this Pedro-Tom-Ken Bermuda Triangle will be sinking soon.
Oh I can't wait to speak up at the public meeting set for Oct 18 or 19. This is so ignorant. When a person is elected to public office, he has a bond with the public trust.
ReplyDeleteFat man Ken Kennedy should go on a diet once he goes to federal prison.
I am so mad Upi wish I could stop paying taxes. But I will move instead. They are all so corrupt.
The letter of credit was signed in June 2015 and given to Deller,Kennedy and also was distributed to Atty Lisa Silvestri and Council President Wooden....none of them vetted or inquired about vetting that Lerner of credit and thereafter it languished in Developmental Services,Corporation Counsel and City Council for 4 months until Atty Taylor Had questions as the letter of credit did not look right. As far as I am concerned Kennedy,Deller,Silvestri and Wooden were negligent and their negligence has cost the City a lot of money. Thank god the 3 idiot's...Kennedy,Wooden and Pedro....or ..Peter...or Maria Uaga...or whomever he is calling himself are leaving in January. Note to Luke, Attorney Lisa Silvestri needs to be fired.
ReplyDelete12:43AM - Lisa Silvestri needs to be INVESTIGATED and FIRED.
DeleteHenri Alexandre, placed in that office by Sandy and Pedro Maria, must pack his personal stuff and leave as well.
Hartford already paid $1,800,000.00, real money, in the past few months to this crooked "developer" through one of his subsidiaries. Who transferred this money, who authorized it?
ReplyDeleteThere are only two possible answers to the question "How did this happen?" that any of them--Deller, Kennedy, Segarra, possibly Wooden, and one or two city hall attorneys could make, regarding what appears be a fraudulent letter of credit:
ReplyDelete1.) "I believed the letter was legitimate. I am a victim of a fraud."
2.) "I knew the letter was not legitimate. I am a party to a fraud."
Either way, they're screwed: At best, a forced resignation. At worst, prison.
Someone in Hartford has some 'splaining to do or some more spending to do?
ReplyDeleteIn Hartford the "leaders" are spending hard-earned residents $$$$ like drunken sailors.
Here is a great new deal Hartford:
ReplyDeleteI'll come up with some money myself if the city pays me $450,000.00 up front first to reopen the market Hartford 21 on Asylum Street.
I'll rename this market Hartford 22.
Can I pick up the money today?
Wily Coyote Super Genius: It's not "who know what paid out to a felon". This is Hartford, therefore it's "nobody knows whatever was paid out to a felon".

ReplyDeleteThe FBI will be looking at this shortly. Smells like there's something rotten in Hartford. But then again, people deserve a second chance.
People deserve a second chance. And a third chance. And a fourth. And fifth and sixth. How 'bout people deserve a seventh heaven or seventh chance?
ReplyDeleteONLY IN HARTFORD, KIDS. ONLY IN HARTFORD.
ReplyDelete"Hartford Has Paid $1.8M To Subsidiary Of Would-Be Dillon Stadium Developer," brought to you by the Hartford Courant's Jenna Carlesso. I'm just wondering how long did Jenna know about this story and why didn't she report it before the Sept. primary. It seems to me that Jenna, expecting more cuts at the paper, was the #1 Pedro Caviar supporter. Was she trying to secure herself a job in a future "imaginary" Pedro Caviar Administration. Well, thank G_d, this will never happen.
ReplyDeleteYO PEDRO, THIS'S THE MOST SCANDALOUS ADMINISTRATION EVER. E-V-E-R!!!
ReplyDeleteA federal investigation requested by Segarra. NO KIDDING, Segarra is calling for a federal investigation, 1st to investigate himself, then continue investigating 2 other clowns: Deller the Seller and Big Mac Kennedy.
ReplyDelete11:45pm
ReplyDeleteIt's "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" not "Who Framed Ken Kennedy"
After all, Ken Kennedy is an angel. Or at least going to be an angel when he gets out of federal jail.
Ken Kenneday and Shawn Wooden should be ashamed of themselves. Its called DUE DILLIGENCE you losers! Kennedy will blame Dellar, Dellar will blame Kennedy, and Wooden will stick ihis head in the sand. This is the same old same old... How does this happen? People are Getting paid for work thats not even been done yet? Where in the city does that ever happen. The city is late paying all of their bills!!!! HTF does this much money go out in advance?
ReplyDeleteOne things for sure. If anyone with a pulse comes in and takes over for Kennedy and Wooden, the will look like geniuses compared to these two Zero's.
And!! Kennedy wanted to be our City Treasurer- Bahahahaha!! THANK GOD that didnt happen.
And!!! Shawn Wooden is going to work for Malloy to replace Denise Napier!!!
Good luck with that Dan.
What's wrong with these people: Deller, Kennedy and Segarra, the 3 chief idiots in an alphabetical order.
ReplyDelete6:52 Anonym: What's wrong with these people (Deller, Kennedy, Segarra)? This trio is a mafia like, mafia of arrogance and spending like crazy. They act like Hartford is their own piggy bank. No accountability whatsoever.
DeleteSomebody had to sign off on the payments, that is unless you are a friend of the Clouds.
ReplyDeleteWooden in prison would make tasty treats for big bubba.
ReplyDeleteHenri is sitting comfortably at his office. Very comfortably. Makes sure he's completely silent. Is he part of these dirty "deals"?
ReplyDeleteJust asking.
