This week, we dive into Carlyle's attempt to stitch together an empire of Brooklyn walk-ups and how it illustrates the REPE giant's playbook. We then examine mortgage fraudster Barry Drillman' s get-out-of-jail-free card, a feat of game theory and cooperation with the feds. We hit the real estate battlefields in the war between luxury leaders LVMH and Kering , looking at their race to snap up the world's most coveted corners (and hotel chains). Finally, we head north to the TSX to riff on Meye r Orbach & Josh Gotlib' s attempt to IPO a prime Manhattan residential portfolio.
