Apparently international politicos in search of a townhouse for house arrest are in short supply these days. Though brokers had hoped to use the tabloid attention to help sell 153 Franklin Street, the strategy has so far failed.
The now-infamous Tribeca townhouse, originally listed in 2009 for $14.995 million, has seen its price knocked down $1.5 million once before, and now it has tumbled that far yet again, as desperate for a sale as its previous occupant was for sex. Read More

It was on the front page of every paper, a lot of papers all over the world. I don’t know how many deals—I don’t know if I’ll ever have a deal like that again.”
For $50,000 a month, or $13.995 million for good, Dominic Strauss-Kahn’s house-arrest nest can become home. Read More
Dominque Strauss-Kahn is packing up and leaving New York, according to the Post. “Bon débarras!” he must be thinking. It’s only been a week since the French financial figaro was set free, but already he’s booked it to Washington, and it looks like he is through with New York.

What do you if you’re Dominique Strauss-Kahn, and after the longest summer in your life which forced you to resign from your job at the IMF and sidelined your shot at a Presidency, your name has been cleared in a criminal trial (although a civil suit alleging the same rape that landed you in the pen and another accusation of a 2003 sexual assault awaiting you in France both persist)?
