Special Report: Alexander Twins Accused of Rape
Last week, The Real Deal broke the news that top broker Oren Alexander and his twin brother, Alon, had been accused of rape and sexual assault by at least two women. The complaints detail events that allegedly took place more than a decade ago. But the lawsuits and the nearly 30 people who came forward alleging similar incidents after the story published, according to an attorney representing the two women, speak to a pattern of alleged gender-based violence. Deconstruct speaks with South Florida Bureau Chief Katherine Kallergis, Reporter Sheridan Wall and Senior Editor Ellen Cranley about what we know so far.
_Warning: This episode includes descriptions of alleged sexual assault.
_This episode was recorded Friday, June 14; this is a developing story.

Aleksey Chernobelskiy has many pieces of advice for retail investors writing checks for syndicated real estate deals. But, one of the most important: you could lose it all. As many syndicators — firms that pool equity to buy property — grapple with distress, thanks to rising interes rates, investors have been stuck in the crosshairs trying to determine whether to pump more money into a struggling deal, or walk away.
Deconstruct chatted with Chernobelskiy about syndicator best practices, what retail investors should know about real estate investing, feeder funds tapping wealth for these deals and what LPs can do if everything goes wrong.

Very informative podcast!
News at the top is entertaining
Meh
I really wanted to like this podcast, as I’m a professional in commercial real estate. Unfortunately, I often hear definitions on this show that are inaccurate and don’t think the hosts have much of a background or basic knowledge of commercial real estate. It sounds like a school project narrated by Quinn and Stacy from Daria. I recommend the Trepp Podcast if you want something with some more substance
Highlight of my Monday
Love hearing the weekly news round up. Fills in the gaps of anything I missed.
