Rezko lender tries to force bankruptcy over $18 million

The Chicago Tribune reports:
A Wilmette businessman who testified last week against political fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko at his federal corruption trial sought Thursday to force Rezko's bankruptcy over his failure to repay more than $18 million.

The court filing is expecting to result in other Rezko creditors calling for the appointment of a trustee who would have the authority to liquidate Rezko's assets.
