Daily News: Rupert Murdoch’s $25 million deal to buy a West Village mansion was almost ruined at the eleventh hour by a greedy seller, who threatened to call the whole thing off over a disagreement with his lender, according to a new lawsuit. George Agiovlasitis, the former owner of the townhouse, allegedly warned that he would call off the big money deal if his lenders didn’t pony up the funds to cover taxes on the sale. A botched deal would have been just the latest saga in Murdoch’s epic search for a Manhattan pad following his high-profile divorce from Wendy Deng, with whom he shared a $44 million penthouse on the Upper East Side.
