Jordan Levy, now a venture capitalist, recalls that Benderson was a favorite in their middle-class neighborhood.
Every evening, Benderson gathered Randy and his friends for an ice cream trip. They never went to the same place, so they got to sample most of what the Buffalo suburbs had to offer. What they did not know is that the trips were never about the ice cream. Benderson was driving around Buffalo scouting new sites for shopping centers and inspecting his developed properties.
"He had us all fooled," Levy said. |
