4. Buy an overpriced house - get sweet military contracts

WASHINGTON – A defense contractor with ties to
Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham took a $700,000 loss
on the purchase of the congressman's Del Mar house
while the congressman, a member of the influential
defense appropriations subcommittee, was supporting
the contractor's efforts to get tens of millions of
dollars in contracts from the Pentagon.

Mitchell Wade bought the San Diego Republican's
house for $1,675,000 in November 2003 and put it back
on the market almost immediately for roughly the same
price. But the Del Mar house languished unsold and
vacant for 261 days before selling for $975,000.

Meanwhile, Cunningham used the proceeds of the
$1,675,000 sale to buy a $2.55 million house in Rancho
Santa Fe. And Wade, who had been suffering through
a flat period in winning Pentagon contracts, was on a
tear – reeling in tens of millions of dollars in defense
and intelligence-related contracts.
