Business
Frank Fradella: Former chief executive of disaster management firm Home Solutions of America. Paid Nagin $50,000 and gave him truckloads of granite in exchange for city work, including contracts for major repairs at Louis Armstrong International Airport and sidwalks in the French quarter, as well as recovery work at public schools, prosecutors say. After Nagin left office, he also paid Nagin $112,500 in nine monthly installments for what he says was consulting work, according to prosecutors. He pleaded guilty to conspiring to bribe Nagin in June of 2013, and is awaiting sentencing.
Charlie Crawford: A Home Solutions of America employee.
Michael McGrath: Former mortgage bank chief serving a 14-year prison term for selling fraudulent credit loans. McGrath helped Fradella deliver a $50,000 payment to Nagin in 2008.
Rodney Williams: Owner of Three Fold Consultants, paid Nagin more than $72,000 in exchange for several city contracts, prosecutors say. After Williams paid Nagin $60,000, Nagin transferred 4.5 percent interest in his family granite business, Stone Age LLC, to a shell company Williams had set up to disguise the transaction. Williams pleaded guilty to bribery in 2012.
Tarek Elnaggar: Founder of Three Fold Consultants

Mark St. Pierre: A technology vendor whose company, Imagine Software, received no-bid contracts from Nagin's then-Chief Technology Officer Greg Meffert, according to prosecutors.

Dwaine Hodges: Former employee of Mark St. Pierre's. Pleaded guilty in 2011 to conspiring to bribe then-Chief Technology Officer Anthony Jones, who has been prosecuted for corruption.
T. George Solomon: Owner of the defunct Grand Palace Theater in eastern New Orleans. In Nagin's indictment Solomon, who has not been charged with a crime, was referred to as "Businessman A." Prosecutors allege that Solomon bankrolled a lavish vacation to New York for Nagin on a private jet, worth roughly $23,000. In exchange for Nagin provided Solomon with a tax penalty waiver on an overdue bill.
Ashton Ryan Jr.: President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of First NBC Bank. Ryan is a business partner of Solomon's.

*Note: This list is incomplete, and we will update it as the trial goes on. This list includes people who were subpoenaed, which means only that they could be called to take the stand. Some are prosecution witnesses who will testify against Nagin, while others could be favorable to him.

So the FBI was successful in strong-arming 47 people into testifying against Nagin. I wonder how many of them were threatened to be indicted as well. My guess is around 75%, knowing how the bureau likes to conduct business.
Nagin may be a criminal, but the FBI is more like a crime syndicate.

Good friends FIL is a commercial developer in NOLA. Told me some years ago that nothing got proper approvals to be built until you went down to City Hall and paid "tribute" to Nagin. I kind of laughed him off until this came around. Guess he was serious.
