I think everyone is familiar with Abramoff's indictment in Florida regarding falsified financial transactions to buy a fleet of off-shore gambling ships. The original owner got a tad perturbed about it, but had the misfortune of being murdered. Abramoff's partner in the deal was "connected" and paid very generous wages to a couple of mafiosa types. Those good fellows have been charged with the murder.
Night time soaps don't get better than this. If you like your news in the form of parody and humor, read Dave Barry's novel, "Tricky Business," which is clearly about Abramhoff, et al.
