From Crain's Insider, 5/4/11, Daniel Goldstein, Film Star:
From Crain's Insider, today:
Battle for Brooklyn will showcase not only the fight over Atlantic Yards when the documentary makes its U.S. premiere at the Brooklyn Film Festival next month, but also its protagonist: graphic designer Daniel Goldstein. In a press release, the documentary is described as “the infuriating story of a greedy corporate Goliath.” Goldstein, the film's David, was the last to leave the area. He sold his condemned apartment for $3 million.(Emphasis added)
From Crain's Insider, today:
CORRECTION: Daniel Goldstein, who led opposition to the Atlantic Yards development, received $3 million to vacate his apartment and to compensate him for its acquisition by the state through eminent domain. The transaction was mischaracterized in a May 4 Insider item.He may have received $3 million, but he didn't keep it--a significant chunk went to his lawyer, with additional sums for taxes, moving, renting, and finding a new place.
