So who actually got to keep the $4billion - $7billion insurance bonanza?
"Larry Silverstein, despite not being the owner of the buildings,
was the sole beneficiary of the insurance indemnity payments of more than 7 billion Dollars.
"Good for Larry that he had not forgotten to increase the insurance policies, just in time, when he signed the lease three months before the catastrophe happened: 'Larry Silverstein, since July landlord of the towers, demands from the insurers 7.2 billion Dollars compensation, his speaker, Steve Solomon, said. ... The Port Authorities of New York and New Jersey, owners of the WTC, agree with Silverstein's demand.' --Die Welt, Berlin, Oct 10, 2001.
'The Port Authorities believe that Silverstein should get the 7,2 billion Dollar compensation instead of them,
despite the fact that, as the lawful owners, should be indemnified.
"
Larry, born under a lucky star.
"The following insurance companies are liable to Silverstein's compensation demand: 'Chubb Corp., Swiss Reinsurance Co., Lloyd's of London, German Alliance Corp., ACE Ltd and XL Capital Ltd.' --Die Welt, Berlin, Oct 10, 2001.
"Wonderful people like Larry Silverstein have many wonderful friends.
"With the help of New York's Jewish mayor, Michael Bloomberg,
Silverstein found new investors, who are prepared to provide the money to build a new WTC.
Larry can therefore keep the 7 billion Dollars from the underwriters and put it into a saving account: 'Within the next five years a new WTC could be erected on "Ground Zero", Silverstein said after a meeting with the designated New York mayor, Michael Bloomberg.' --Die Welt, Berlin, Nov 28, 2002"
