Curry said the money will go to the union’s general fund.
“This sale rights a wrong from the past, and I want each and every one of you to know that we continue to implement ethics reforms throughout the organization to ensure that the abuses of the past can never happen again,” Curry said in his note.
The sale was delayed by the pandemic, easement issues and a federal affidavit that said the house was “subject to forfeiture to the United States,” because of law violations related to the scandal.
Union spokesman Brian Rothenberg said the Justice Department dropped its objections and only wanted to find out who was buying the house.
