I'm not answering any more of your questions until you disprove the figures and profits I have presented. Furthermore, the insurance companies did fight the payout. The full amount for 2 attacks would have totaled 7 billion the judgment was capped at 4.5 billion liability as determined by the value of the towers. And even furthermore, no company in their right mind is going to go against the status quo in the face of a undeniable evidence that it was a terrorist attack during a time of disaster and mourning. Can you imagine the PR fallout if that happened....it would be suicide. It was a terrorist attack only the terrorists weren't all caught and aren't all who we think they are.
In summary, Silverstein retains rights for Towers Two, Three, and Four. The Freedom Tower (designated as Tower One) will be owned by the Port Authority as well as Tower Five which may be leased out to another private developer and redesigned as a residential building.
There's a big gaping hole in your reasoning right there. He doesn't have rights to the Freedom Tower, so he's not banking the money from the leasing. He is putting up money from the insurance claims towards developing it though. What sick, twisted, greedy bastard he must be.
