Forbes.com reported Thursday that Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria has a "handshake agreement" to sell the team for $1.6 billion to an unnamed New York City real estate developer.

The family patriarch, Charles Kushner, founded the now multi-billion dollar real estate company Kushner Cos. in 1985. He was convicted of witness tampering, illegal campaign contributions and tax evasion in 2005.

One of his two sons, Jared Kushner is married to President Donald Trump's eldest daughter Ivanka and is an adviser to the president.
