• Back in July, word spread that financially troubled movie producer Vittorio Cecchi Gori's 52nd-floor apartment at the Trump International—a 5,500-square-foot pad that Donald Trump himself once owned—had gone into contract for $18 million, making it "possibly the largest residential foreclosure action ever in Manhattan," according to the Times. It's been six months since then, but the gutted palace in the sky is now back on the market. The penthouse, which will undoubtedly require many millions to whip into shape—or is "a complete blank canvas" in the words of Prudential Douglas Elliman managing director Howard Margolis—can now be yours for $28.5 million.

Here are the best bits from former NBC News reporter Irving R. Levine's FBI file, which tells the story of the KGB's attempt to recruit him as a spy and the FBI's detailed surveillance on his personal affairs.

Raj Rajaratnam, the hedge fund billionaire (and dwarf enthusiast) accused of insider trading, has even more legal trouble on his hands today. Prosecutors say they plan to tack on another bunch of charges to their original indictment, a move that could increase Rajaratnam's prison sentence to 15 years (or more) if he's ultimately convicted. Even more concerning: The Wall Street Journal unveiled a new illustration (or "hedcut") of Raj in the paper today, and his smile and casual, open-collared look has been replaced with one that makes him look much more defendant-y. That can't be a good sign, can it? [NYT, Dealbreaker, previously]
