Could a Florida real estate deal sink Cioffi and Tannin?

``If the government gets its way and convinces Judge Frederic Block to allow the evidence into the trial, what Cioffi and Tannin did to permit Cioffi to obtain a $4.25 million line of credit from Busey Bank, in Ft. Myers, Florida, in December 2006, may become the centerpiece of the government's case. Prosecutors believe that they can use documents and testimony to show that Cioffi and Tannin violated a directive from a superior at Bear Stearns to secure the line of credit, and this act indicates that the two men's alleged criminal behavior began much earlier than previously thought.''
