FBI asked questions on Rezko land deal

former Illinois real estate specialist says FBI agents have questioned him about a Chicago property that had been bought by convicted felon Tony Rezko (http://washingtontimes.com/themes/?Theme=Tony+Rezko)'s wife and later sold to the couple's next-door neighbor, Sen. Barack Obama (http://washingtontimes.com/themes/?Theme=Barack+Obama).
The real estate specialist, Kenneth J. Conner (http://washingtontimes.com/themes/?Theme=Kenneth+Conner), said bank officials replaced an appraisal review he prepared on the property and FBI agents were investigating in late 2007 whether the Rezko-Obama deal was proper.
“Agents and I talked about payoff, bribe, kickback for a long time, though it took them only a short number of minutes of talking with me while looking at the appraisal to acknowledge what they already seemed to know: The Rezko lot was grossly overvalued,” Mr. Conner told The Washington Times Monday.
“Rezko paid the asking price on the same day Obama paid $300,000 less than the asking price to the same seller for his adjacent mansion,” he said. “This begs the question of payoff, bribe, kickback.”
