...brainchild of Florida Builder John Priestes, who himself just ended a six-month stint in the slammer for FHA influence buying. The foursome hope to make $7 million to $9 million from the 600-unit complex, but last week their profit margin was shaved when thieves relieved on-site construction trailers of $9,000 worth of equipment. "The irony to me is that when we went to the Watergate and were called burglars, we didn't take anything," said an indignant Barker after the robbery.
