Part Four of the series. Riding in following the criminal Spano Affair, Steven Gluckstern & the Milstein brothers, Howard & Edward, painted themselves as the Islanders' heroes. Instead, they turned out to be full of hot air and, possibly, bacon.
Part three in the series. Roy Boe, the Islanders' first owner, unknowingly established their long standing team tradition of being hard up for cash. Boe's mounting debts with the Islanders and Nets caused him to do the unthinkable: sell Dr. J.
Part two of the series. Stephen Walsh & Paul Greenwood were minority owners of the Islanders for about four years. Today, they face much more time than that in prison for bilking retirement funds & universities out of over a billion dollars.
No NHL team has an ownership history as unstable as the New York Islanders. In this first entry of a new series, we examine how Sanjay Kumar went from being a co-owner to being sentenced to 12 years in federal prison in just six years.
