I find the section on the insurance disputes a bit confusing as it jumps around somewhat in the chronology and doesn’t really explain the policies and the court decisions as clearly as it might. I propose a collaborative rewrite to make it clearer, and offer the following as a starting point for discussion.
(I propose a minor edit only to the following section, as italicized: In 2007, 6 years after the attacks, Silverstein and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey filed a $1 billion lawsuit ($250 million in unpaid claims and $750 million in damages) against Royal & Sun Alliance Group Plc and its U.S. affiliate and this litigation was subsequently settled (need citation)
Silverstein's lease with the Port Authority for World Trade Center requires him to continue paying $102 million annually in base rent. He is applying insurance payments toward the redevelopment of the World Trade Center site.)
I propose to retain the citations from the existing article and perhaps add one or two as required. Well, what say you? All suggestions and comments are welcome. { Jazz2006 ( talk) 23:13, 11 May 2008 (UTC)}
The arithmetic is unclear. Is $2.2 billion "the face value of those particular policies" or is it double the face value of those policies? And "therefore was capped at $4.577 billion" implies that the reader can do his or her own arithmetic to arrive at $4.577 billion. But $3.55 billion plus $1.1 billion is $4.65 billion, and under the other interpretation of the ambiguous sentence, $3.55 billion plus $2.2 billion is $5.75 billion. I'd appreciate a rewrite of the sentence about the "total potential payout". C. Cerf ( talk) 19:26, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
This is in response to User:Jazz2006. I did that minor edit to make the article less biased. As it is, after your undoing, all those credits in the lead section look only as a futile attempt to make Mr. Silverstein look respectable, especially in view of the very suspicious circumstances that, in spite of all the tragedies involved in the 9/11 horror, made him wealthier still -- thus giving more strength to conspiracy theories. Leave the article as you wish, I couldn't care less. -- AVM ( talk) 21:23, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
Why are there no mentions of his infamous "pull it" comment on PBS document "America rebuilds" in 2002? In other words, that is alleged (mostly by conspiracy theorists) to have been Larry's decision to bring down WTC 7 on 9/11. I'm not necessarily saying he was already aware of what was going on, but that comment has been very popular, so it should be mentioned. -- 88.112.34.29 ( talk) 05:21, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
ya but considering the scumbag move to try get paid out double the insured policy over 3,000 dead americans graves, there should be some conflict of interest noted in the process, if there is an article cited from a legitimate news source with such contents would it be removed? Or should i not even waste my time? how is it Maoipedia even up in the discussion page? -- 99.8.7.49 ( talk) 14:19, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
On April 21, 2010, Fox News writer Jeffrey Shapiro wrote an article( http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2010/04/21/jeffrey-scott-shapiro-jesse-venture-book-lies-truthers-ground-zero-sept-shame/) shaming Jesse Ventura and other 9/11 skeptics. In this article, he writes of being told that Larry Silverstein was on the phone with insurers trying to authorize a controlled demolition on the day of 09/11/01. Shapiro writes:
"Shortly before the building , several NYPD officers and Con-Edison workers told me that Larry Silverstein, the property developer of One World Financial Center was on the phone with his insurance carrier to see if they would authorize the controlled demolition of the building – since its foundation was already unstable and expected to fall."
This is huge evidence as Silverstein himself has denied requesting a controlled demolition for the last eight years. Let's see this on his wiki page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.39.74.191 ( talk) 18:20, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
That he was attempting to authorize a demolition of the WTC building 7 on Sept. 11th now gives vindication to the probability that this indeed is what actually occurred. Try and feed this to the masses. If convincingly digested, we would have a revolution the size of which George Washington's corpse would stand to attention! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.175.85.59 ( talk) 01:18, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
It's not really propaganda, it's whats there. He said it, no denying it, what did he mean by it? Is it a coincidence that he had a Doctors appointment on the day of the attack? It's not propaganda, it's fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Albert Cole ( talk • contribs) 23:00, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

I might be missing it, but I'm not clear for the article what Silverstein's relationship to building 7 was.
