About this Episode

After two and a half years of reporting, The Real Deal's investigation into the Alexander brothers has reached a major milestone: Tal, Oren and Alon Alexander have each been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison.

But the story isn't over. Senior reporter and South Florida bureau chief Katherine Kallergis, who broke the original story, joins Deconstruct to take listeners inside the sentencing hearing, discuss the victims' emotional statements and examine the unanswered questions surrounding the brothers' connections to some of luxury real estate's most powerful figures. Who else knew what was happening? And could more people face accountability?

Plus, Lilah and Hannah unpack allegations that Flagstar Bank ignored warning signs of a massive real estate fraud, a $2 million country club initiation fee in Coral Gables, the passage of a watered-down version of New York City's COPA legislation and the eye-popping $6 billion price tag for JPMorgan Chase's new Manhattan headquarters.
