...Attorney Christopher Christie filed a complaint last week charging that Kushner, whose company's holdings are said to be worth $1 billion, recruited a prostitute to seduce a man who used to work for him. The complaint says the man's wife was cooperating with investigators examining whether Kushner broke tax and campaign-finance laws.

The casino agreed to pay $300,000 to settle a complaint that claimed the Hard Rock's ads had damaged the state's image. This, remember, is a state where some cities have legal whorehouses...
