    Have you ever seen The Towering Inferno?

    They cut all kinds of costs to get it done cheap and quick, with bribery and embezzlement etc etc and, well, it’s called the towering inferno for a reason.
    If so then, I give you The Epstein’s Ballroom.

    It’ll be slapped up quick. Tarted up in gaudy cheap gold paint.
    The costs will have ballooned massively by then, but the companies involved won’t ever be paid. Yet a cursory look from an accountant will show that the cash went to the paedos shell company of some form.
    It’ll start falling to pieces within a few years, if not straight away, then it’ll be a race to knock it down safely before it collapses and kills someone.

    The most shocking thing about this would be if it turns out to be a good building that’s built to last, without corruption etc. AND the companies involved get paid.
