Yesterday I wrote, "The real estate empire of Sergio Pino, a founder of Miami-based US Century Bank, is in trouble; though how much trouble is hard to say. Probably not too much trouble, since owning the bank puts one in a more favorable position that others who need a helping hand." Today, the Herald business section published an update to Pino's real estate woes: "Developer Sergio Pino countersues Wachovia."
It is worth noting that Pino is represented by Victor Diaz, who chaired the Miami Dade Charter Review Commission. Pino, a founder of US Century Bank, is one of the land speculators who made millions building platted subdivisions out to the Everglades and whose plans to develop outside the Urban Development Boundary put him on the opposite side of recommendations of the Charter Review Commission. I suppose there is still a place for irony in the world, which was the point of yesterday's post: Pino showed up as a bidder, making ill-advised comments to the Sun Sentinel, of fraudster Scott Rothstein's memorabilia including a photo showing Gov. Charlie Crist and Rothstein in a warm moment. Pino, a former Bush Ranger, supports Crist's opponent, Marco Rubio, for US Senate. The Sentinel story hinted that the photo will be used for attack ads against Crist in the Republican primary.

Note to posters that say we have too much time on our hands, that is the pot calling the kettle black.
So do you, or you wouldn't be reading our blog, the one you hate so much...
hey "genius"? two things, one get a new name. Two, yeah you're right, those people shouldnt be saying that you have too much time on your hands, (even though it is obvious you do, your problably like what? maybe 40, 300 lbs over weight & still live with mommy.) But anyways, what is wrong with you is the fact that you're not realizing that you're writing about a man who can not only careless about what crap your saying about him, your writing about a man that has achieved WAAAAAAYYYY more than you EVER will.Sergio Pino is one of the very few nice people left in the world. So before you go off bashing on sergio, look at yourself honey! do us all a favor & get a life,thanks!

Anybody with the right connections is an achiever, weak connections make you fall, the higher you fly, the bigger the fall. Land speculation drove many hardworking locals into foreclosure.
Sergio Pino is the envy of many so even donald trump has had problems no one is perfect at least he has worked all his life and never got a had out from anyone. Like some that come here legal and illegal expect it,
I seen sergio leave the house at 5am and come home near midnight, working and working some more... Absolutely, no handouts. He's amazing.... people should learn how to become a productive member of society and not envy others success secondary to hard work.
