With Nick Giannis in Chicago Police Custody This Morning, When Will Alexi Giannoulias Answer Questions About 2005 Loan to Boston Blackie's?
Records show Broadway Bank authorized another $4.25 million for Nick Giannis’ Boston Blackie’s in 2005 when Alexi was Chief Loan Officer;
Giannoulias has not answered questions about who authorized a $1.2 million loan for Giannis in 2002 and how Giannis could have received loans if the Giannoulias family knew he had a criminal record;
Question 1: Who authorized a $4.25 million loan for Nick Giannis’ Boston Blackie’s in 2005 when you were Chief Loan Officer of Broadway Bank?
· The Cook County Recorder of Deeds records show a $4.25 million loan made to Boston Blackie’s in February 2005 – at the height of Giannoulias’ tenure as Chief Loan Officer.
· Nick Giannis, owner of Boston Blackie’s, was arrested on March 11th on bank fraud charges as he attempted to flee the country.
· Alexi Giannoulias accepted $114,800 in campaign contributions from Giannis since 2005, making Giannis the second-highest Giannoulias campaign contributor outside the Giannoulias family.
Question 2: Who authorized a $1.2 million loan for Nick Giannis in 2002 when you were Chief Loan Officer of Broadway Bank?
· The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Broadway Bank authorized a $1.2 million loan for Giannis in 2002 when Alexi Giannoulias was Vice President and Chief Loan Officer of the bank.
· Eleven days ago, a Giannoulias campaign spokeswoman “said she had found no evidence that Giannoulias himself signed off on the $1.2 million loan” to Giannis but provided no further detail into what records she checked, who signed off on the loan or what other role Giannoulias may have played in the loan process.
Question 3: In the past you’ve suggested that you never authorized loans for people you knew to have criminal records. But if Giannis had a criminal record and he was a close family friend, how did he get a loan?
· As the Chicago Tribune reported: “In a 2006 interview with the Tribune, Nick Giannis said he has known the Giannoulias family for years and was a friend of Giannoulias' father…”
· According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Giannis was convicted in 1996 conviction for illegal possession of a firearm.
- If Giannis and Giannoulias were as close as Giannis claimed in 2006, Giannoulias would have known about Giannis’ criminal record. Knowingly authorizing a loan for a convicted criminal would contradict previous statements made by Giannoulias regarding other convicted criminals:
o “Now, as I’ve said, if I knew then what I know now, would we have given those loans to these colorful characters? Absolutely not.” – Alexi Giannoulias, Tribune Editorial Board Interview, March 3, 2010
o “If I knew then what I know now about some of these characters…we wouldn’t have given them loans.” – Alexi Giannoulias, WTTW Carol Marin Interview, March 3, 2010

Did Illinois Giannoulias, Florida's Crist, California's Angelides and New York's Gianaris apply Greek budgeting techniques like Sarbanes Oxen? Greek Ponzi fourfold Eurodefecit boasts Trojan Horse Perfidy, Klephth Brigandage. Upset that industrious Albanians invaded their lazy, gungrabbing, babykilling homeland, the soviet-churched Greeks vindictively hire, house and promote illegals. As quakes render their homes disposable, Greeks are oblivious to the very concept of maintenance. Instead of blaming environmetalists for fires and socialists for deficits, Greek dmeagogues seek scapegoats. Olympia Snowjob supports Obamacare and abortion because of her gangreen patriarch (Is Orthodox Christianity progressive? Michelle Boorstein Washington Post 11-4-09 Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew spoke about the spiritual imperative for nonviolence, universal health care and reducing consumption to help the environment.) Palamite Zealotes massacred Thessalonian aristocracy in preparation for Cantacuzene usurpation via hesychast hyperventilatory hallutination. This soviet socialism motivated Anatolian farmers to embrace Turks in the 1400s to avoid redistributative taxation and then for liberated mainlanders to migrate to Smyrna in the 1800s. int gonna vote for Do Kaka Zote!
