Obama with Tariq Saddiqui
at Sunrise Equities, 2004 |
Judge Bill Taylor of the court’s law division upheld a default judgment against
Mohammed Tariq Siddiqui on Tuesday. Taylor also quashed a motion that Siddiqui was not properly served notice of Bridgeview’s complaint that the developer had failed to pay four promissory notes totaling $2.7 million."
Prediction: The federal government is already investigating the Sunrise Equities/Salman Ibrahim scandal. Most likely, the feds will let the locals get their own dirty work out of the way, and then pursue Siddiqui in a federal case - with Ibrahim/Sunrise as part of the investigation.
However, watch for the Obama connection to be glossed over and suppressed.
