The story of the alleged crack smoking Toronto mayor is getting more and more bizarre by the day.
First, there was the video of Rob Ford smoking crack with a group of Somali men that was viewed by only a few people.
According to Gawker, the owner of the video wanted six figures before releasing it, most likely so he could get the hell out when shit finally hit the fan. So, through crowd funding, Gawker raised the money needed to purchase the video.
But before that even happened there was Ford, denying that he smoked crack now, but never explicitly saying that he never smoked crack in his life.
And now, it’s being revealed that the mayor knows exactly who has the tape of him allegedly smoking crack…and even where that person lives.
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford told senior aides not to worry about a video appearing to show him smoking crack cocaine because he knew where it was, sources told the Star.
Ford then blurted out the address of two 17th-floor units — 1701 and 1703 — at a Dixon Rd. apartment complex, to the shock of staffers at a city hall meeting almost two weeks ago, the sources said.
The mayor cited “our contacts” as the source of his information, according to insiders familiar with the unusual May 17 session in his office.
What’s even more shocking is this – it’s being said that one of the guys in the video (see the picture above) was actually killed over the visual!
After the meeting, Ford staffer David Price asked (now-fired) chief of staff Mark Towhey (who was not in attendance) “what we would do” if “hypothetically” they knew where the video was, and suggested that one of the men in the now-infamous photograph of Ford that accompanied the original Gawker article had been killed over the video.
Toronto Police have assigned two detectives to investigate, but Rob Ford…well…he’s still chilling as the mayor of Toronto.
Crazy stuff. We’ll keep you updated on the latest.
