According to documents displayed by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara's
office during Curcio's testimony, the younger Skelos set his own
hours, going into work two days a week for a few
hours, less than what his
agreement with PRI stipulated.
By the time the case made it to the Fifth Circuit, the criteria had been amended to require: (1) a valid Georgia real estate license; (2) an active real estate
office in the county that is open
during customary business
hours; (3)
agreement to abide by the MLS's rules and bylaws; (4) a favorable credit report; (5)
agreement to purchase a share of MLS stock at $ 1,000; and (6) a favorable vote of a majority of the MLS's active members.
