Money, money, money, money … MONEY. Some people got to have it … like SB Associates LLC in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The developer of the 24-story, 298-unit luxury condominium complex on the white sandy beaches of South Florida has reportedly defaulted on its $139 million loan, according to the Sun-Sentinel.

And it appears that the more than 80 people who already plunked down deposits on their slice of tropical heaven could be in limbo for up to six months until the foreclosure situation is resolved.

But don’t blame “The Donald” for this massive real estate flop. He, too, is apparently just an innocent victim.

From the report:

“The [law]suits also question the role of New York City’s real estate mogul Donald Trump and his Trump Organization in the Broward project. Promotional materials suggested Trump was a developer and partner. But after setbacks in construction last year, Trump has said that his group only licensed its name to the venture.”

It’s unclear at this time what the mortgage note holder will eventually do with the property: “keep it as a condo-hotel, make it a traditional hotel or something else.”

For the love of money!

George and Cindy Anthony — the parents of accused child murderer Casey Anthony — have a past due balance of about $121,000 on their home loan, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

The Anthony’s, in fact, have reportedly not paid their Bank of America-issued mortgage since June 2009. However, the family attorney reveals that the lender has not yet contacted them about any pending foreclosure on the home, which is located at 4937 Hopespring Drive in the Chickasaw Oaks section of Orlando, Florida.

Their grand daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony, was last seen alive near the home in June 2008. And, according to the report, her body was later discovered in a nearby wooded area about six months later.

Casey, the child’s mother and the daughter of George and Cindy, has since been charged with first-degree murder and “is being held without bond at the Orange County Jail.”

Meanwhile, her parents will likely do whatever needs to be done to save their family home, which they purchased for $90,900 in 1989 (and later refinanced), from falling deeper into foreclosure.

Leonard Padilla — the California bounty hunter who helped Casey secure bail in 2008 — has offered his assistance; however, the couple is apparently not interested.

Former New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress could be headed back to the courtroom, according to the South Florida Business Journal.

Only this time it will be because of a foreclosure and not illegal weapons charges.

Burress — who is currently serving a two-year prison sentence for accidentally shooting himself in the thigh while reveling at the Latin Quarter nightclub in New York, N.Y. — is apparently behind on a $2.9 million mortgage for a 6,872-square-foot waterfront home that he owns in Lighthouse Point, Florida.

The report indicates that he purchased the home in 2005 for $4 million and then relocated to New Jersey two years later when the New York Giants signed him to a six-year, $25 million free agent contract.

In 2007, the former first round draft pick out of Michigan State University caught the game-winning touchdown in Super Bowl XLII.
