The Florida massage parlor founder involved in the human sex trafficking scandal that has Patriots owner Robert Kraft under fire might also have a connection to Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie.
Sort of.
Talking Points Memo published an article on Tuesday that Li “Cindy” Yang, the aforementioned founder of the massage parlor in Jupiter, Fl., has been in the headlines recently after photos surfaced of her spending time with prominent politicians, including Donald Trump.
Per TPM, Yang was involved with a company used to provide “immigration investment projects”. This is where Lurie comes in. Or, at least, the mention of a property that he owns.
Here’s what the article says, with Lurie’s portion bolded:
Along with extensive offers of access to Trump and American politicians including Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, Yang’s company also claimed to provide “immigration investment projects,” according to a translation of cached versions of the company’s website. Those services included independent investments and those done via “immigration investment project centers,” according to the now shuttered website
...
Yang’s company’s website listed a few examples of properties that foreigners can invest in as part of an “investment immigration project.”
The first is described as “high-end luxury real estate” and features a photo of the Palm Beach home of billionaire Jeffrey Lurie, whose Philadelphia Eagles faced off against Kraft’s New England Patriots in the Super Bowl last year.
That home is located a quarter-mile south of Mar-a-Lago — a fact that the company promotes as part of the investment, saying it’s “near Trump Manor.”
An attorney for Lurie did not reply to requests for comment.
Later in the article, it is written that “it’s not clear whether the two mansions pictured on the website were actual projects or merely illustrations" in reference to the Lurie-owned mansion and one other.
