If there's some fucked up shit involving all those things, it probably takes place in Florida.

14 years from murder to conviction in slaying of Miami Subs founder

That offer came from a business partnership led by two men who were engaged in a fraudulent gamble of their own. Washington D.C. lobbyist Jack Abramoff and New York businessman Adam Kidan, who was once associated with the popular Dial-a-Mattress company, made false representations to banks, investors and the government to buy SunCruz from Boulis in late 2000.

Boulis kept waiting for payments from Kidan and Abramoff that never came. Hostilities grew between Kidan, who was in South Florida to run the business, and Boulis, who began to realize he was being swindled.

Kidan filed a restraining order against Boulis in December 2000, accusing the Miami Subs founder of attacking him and threatening to kill him during a business meeting.

Kidan would later tell investigators that he feared Boulis would try to hire the mob to have him killed, so he reached out to the mob to protect him.

Oh, and Jack Abramoff is the guy who was sentence on corruption charges.

That's the same crime for which Corey Lewandowski, the guy running Trump's campaign, was also convicted. I wonder if Trump gets a discount at Miami subs.

OK, it's a bit of a Degrees of Kevin Bacon game, but I've got fewer steps than Republicans linking Hillary to Benghazi.
