Subtle Rantings

In other example of complete government bureaucracy and inefficiency, staff at the New York Daily News effectively “stole” the Empire State building in 90 minutes.

The New York Daily News drew up fake documents, created a bogus notary stamp and filed paperwork with the city and successfully took ownership of the $2 billion property on Monday.

It seems the clerks of New York City aren’t required to actually verify any information when certain requests are made. Just 90 minutes after first walking in the door, the newspaper managed to get the Empire State building transferred from the Empire State Land Associates to it’s fake company, Neolots Properties, LLC.

One quote from the newspaper states that “Of course, stealing the Empire State Building wouldn’t go unnoticed for long, but it shows how easy it is for con artists to swipe more modest buildings right out from under their owners.”
