FBI makes arrests in sweeping mortgage, welfare fraud case in Monsey Williamsburg, Monroe, Boro-Park

One family and their associates dominated the over a dozen people arrested Thursday in a more than $20 million, long-term mortgage and welfare fraud case in the ultra-Orthodox community, according to a federal indictment.

The agents made the arrests in pre-dawn raids in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Monroe in Orange County. At least one Monsey resident was arrested.

FBI agents could be seen gathered before 6 a.m. on College Road in Ramapo near the Chase Bank. Ramapo police said they had no details, and that no one had been brought into the police station.

Those arrested were charged with fraudulently obtaining $20 million in mortgage and other types of loans from banks and financial institutions, according to a 21-count federal indictment unsealed Thursday morning.

Those charged are accused of providing false information to the lenders about their assets and liabilities involving 20 loans. The false information included documentation about employment, income, bank accounts and primary residence.

The majority of the loans went into default and millions of dollars in proceeds were not repaid.

The indictment names Yehuda Rubin as the scheme's organizer, accusing him of participating in 10 fraudulent loans. He allegedly acted as a borrower, the borrower's power of attorney, mortgage broker, distributor of the money and arranger of short sales, the indictment states.

The borrowers who fraudulently obtained loans were identified in the indictment included various family members and associates: Irving Rubin, Desiree Rubin, Abraham Rubin, Jacob Rubin, Samuel Rubin, Joel Rubin, Rachel Rubin, Joel Koppel, Rifka Rubin, and Benzion Kraus.

Attorney Martin Kofman is accused of acting as the real estate lawyer on numerous transactions with fraudulent loans and closing on sales.

Pinchus Glauber of Monsey is accused of making false appraisals.

Glauber's lawyers, Kenneth Gribetz and Deborah Wolikow-Loewenberg, said their client would plead not guilty.

"We're going to review the indictment and from talking with our client, we believe he's innocent of these charges," said Gribetz, a former Rockland County district attorney.

Six of the those arrested also were accused of bilking food stamps and Medicaid.

Yehuda and Rachel Rubin, for example, fraudulently receiving Medicaid and food stamps by claiming an income of $180 monthly and later $360 bi-weekly, it says.

Further details of the investigation are expected to be revealed at a news conference with U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara at noon at U.S. District Courthouse in White Plains. George Venizelos, the FBI assistant director-in-charge, and Orange County Sheriff Carl DuBois also are expected to attend.

FBI in MONSEY, Williamsburg and MONROE ... WELFARE FRAUD????

Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara announcing the indictment on Nov. 13, 2014

Twelve members of a single Brooklyn-based family were charged Thursday in an indictment that said they lied about being wealthy to obtain fraudulent mortgages or lied about being poor to get food stamps and other benefits.

Some did both, the indictment said.

“They alternately played the part of prince or pauper depending on which scam was being perpetrated,” U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said at a news conference in the White Plains courthouse. “Regardless of whether they were posing as rich men or poor men, they were always con men.”

He said one indicted couple, Yehuda and Rachel Rubin of Monroe, claimed monthly income of $25,000 when taking out a mortgage and $180 when applying for food stamps and Medicaid.

The fraudulent mortgages totaled more than $20 million, and the welfare fraud realized about $700,000 in benefits, the indictment said.

Yehuda Rubin was described in the indictment as “an organizer” of the scheme but Bharara would not say he was the leader. Rubin’s father, Irving Rubin of Brooklyn, is the lead defendant. Other defendants include Irving Rubin’s wife, another son, three brothers and five in-laws. Three unrelated men also were charged, including a real estate lawyer and an appraiser.

Eleven of the 15 defendants live in Brooklyn. Thirteen were arrested Thursday and the other two were expected to surrender, Bharara said. They had not yet been arraigned and there was no immediate information on defense attorneys.

The indictment said family members lied to lenders about their assets, income, employment and primary residence to obtain mortgages on at least 18 properties they claimed to own, most of them in Brooklyn.

The lies gave “the false appearance of creditworthiness, when in fact the assets and/or bank accounts were nonexistent” or were not fully owned by the applicant, the indictment said.

The defendants used the proceeds to pay their credit card debts and their own home mortgages and to fund other real estate projects, Bharara said.

When the loans defaulted, he said, the defendants would lie again, either to claim poverty or to claim they had found buyers who would take the properties — at a discount.

Bharara said the overall deception was so widespread that prosecutors still do not know exactly what properties the defendants own or how wealthy they are.

“It’s hard to find any examples of when they told the truth,” he said. But the government is asking the court to order forfeiture of 23 properties and several bank accounts.

Satmar vs Zionism Part 6 "IDF will Join the Goyim in War against Mashiach"

Recently, Satmar published a booklet,  שמעו דבר ה׳  a transcript of Reb Yoel Teitelbaum's Shalosh Seudois Torelech given during and  immediately after the 6 day war, in 1967. The booklet is accompanied with an MP3 which is an actual  recording of the Rebbe speaking on Shabbos at Shaloish Seudois.
Notice the arrogant title of the booklet: "Listen to the Words of Hashem," as if the Satmar Shitah is the words of Hashem!

Part 6: 
"IDF will Join the Goyim in War against Moshiach"

This piece will blow your mind. It is so far fetched that it begs understanding the mind of the author. After reading this piece, the readers will scratch their heads and wonder how the Satmar Shitah has any followers at all! To bolster this bizarre idea, that the IDF will" join the Goyim against Mishiach," the Rebbe quotes from the Zohar Hakodosh! Unbelievable! 
After my loose translation, I will tell you Pshat in the Zohar Hakodosh. I also stood at Har Sinai, and  attended Yeshivas, so I'm not totally out of the loop in my understanding of the Zohar!

Loose Translation:
"The last time I already spoke what the Zohar Hakodash wrote, that the eirav rav,will join the foreign nations to go to war. 
By the great war of Gog and MaGog, the Jewish heretics will join the foreign nations to war against Moshiach.
I wrote (in Al Hagila siman 61) that a great person wondered, (Kashoier Rav, R' Shol Brach)"how could it be that Jews will actually war against Moshiach? Well, the Zohar  in Parshas Shmois (page 7) itemizes all the Gentile Kings that will join together to war against the King Moshiach by the war of Gog and MaGog, and the Jewish Heritics will join them in war"

DIN: 
The Rebbe has said many times that the "eirav rav'" is the IDF and it's commanders!

Is the Rebbe actually suggesting that the Zohar is prophesizing that the  IDF will join Arab Terrorists, Hamas, Hizballah, Fatah, and Isis to fight Moshiach?

What "Foreign Nations" does the Rebbe say  the Zohar means?
Iran? Syria? Turkey?

Who was feeding the Rebbe his information vis a vis the 6 day war in 1967, that he was forced to twist the holy words of the Zohar to say the above quoted statement? 
ABC? CBS? NBC? Reuters? The New York Times? Esquire Magazine, the Jerusalem Post, Haaretz? Maariv? The Jewish Press? The Yiddish Forvetz, a communist/socialist rag?

Oh .... yes .... it's ..... one minute ...let me think ....
it's ....it's 
his Rebbitzen?

Or was it, Yossel Ashkanazi, his faithful gabbai, that couldn't read English?!

It wasn't Ruach hakodesh, because on this CD the Rebbe says many times that he doesn't have Ruach Hakodesh, and I'll take him at his word.

Now lets learn a "shtikal Zohar HaKodesh" together.
I looked it up, and the Rebbe is 100% correct, the Zohar actually says that Jewish Heritics will join the Foreign Nations (Which includes Iran, Iraq etc.) in war against Moshiach! Yup, the Zohar says it!

And, yes, absolutely, the Zohar's prophecy is coming to fruition in our lifetime!

But what does the Zohar mean by "Jewish heretics?"

Anybody reading the news today knows who they are!
My readers know who they are!

Let's see ......ummmm?

So, which Jews do we see at the Palestinian Protests siding with the Arab murderers, in Washington DC, New York City, London etc,?

Which Jews go out of their way to meet with the Iranian anti-Semitic Leaders and tell them they are joining Iran's war against Israel? Hmmmmmm!?

The Jews that are joining the "foreign nation to fight Moshiach" now while I'm typing these Holy Words, are the  Satmar Savages! 

And that's who the Zohar is talking about!

I know that you're screaming at the screen ....
" Nooo Nooo, No!" "Nein" .... "Nisht" ... "Nada" "Nem" "LO"

"it's the Neturei Karta ..... the Neturei Karta..... "

Well, to that, I say ..... it's Satmar! .... it's Satmar!
The Neturei Karta are only doing the dirty work of Satmar!
They are the fall guys!  Satmar uses them so they can say, "the Rebbe said that the Neturei Karta is not his Shita!" 
"Our Shita is bringing chicken soup to the hospitals" 

NOT TRUE!

Pick up a Satmar newspaper, be it Der Yid (Zalonie propaganda rag) or Der Blatt (Aronie propagenda rag) Dee Zeitung (a switch hitter), any week you want, and you will see that the Shita of Satmar and the Shita of Neturei Karta are identical! 
That's right! 
Better yet, buy the booklet which comes with a CD, hear the actual words of the Rebbe.


Now my friends, Who is the Zohar HaKodesh talking about when he states that the Jewish heretics will join Iran, Syria etc,.....
The State of Israel or Satmar???

The Zohar is prophesizing that there will come a time during the war of  Gog Um'gog , that Satmar, the Neturei Karta and the leftist Chilonim, will join Iran and Hamas and fight against Moshiach! We are witnessing the prophesy come to fruition in our lifetime!

Now see who the "Rebbe" calls the "eirav rav"

Now see who Din calls the "eirav RAV"

New York Times gives you background of Terrorist but no background on Dalia Lemkus, the victim

Funny how none of the articles about the murder of Dahlia Lemkus who was stabbed near Alon Shvut last night speak about Dahlia or her family, how no reporter had the curiosity to find out about her. She was killed in the afternoon so the reporters had all evening to question their contacts in Tekoa.

Dahlia Lemkus A"H

by Sherri Mandell

Instead, they practice a kind of obscurantism, restricting our knowledge of the victim.

 (Curious that the word obscurantism is derived from a dispute between intellectuals and the German monks who wanted to burn Jewish books, like the Talmud, in the 16th century to obscure Jewish culture and learning.) 

In the New York Times, the reporter tells you about the terrorist who is from Hebron, how he was in an Israeli jail for five years for a firebombing. The reporter quotes his Facebook page: “I’ll be a thorn in the gullet of the Zionist project to Judaize Jerusalem.” 

We learn nothing about 26 year old Dahlia, who was just getting started in life after finishing college, studying occupational therapy so that she could have a job where she could help people who were sick or infirm or disabled to live in a fuller way.

They don’t tell you how she loved to bake with her mother, the two of them bringing rich, luscious cakes to parties and the way she spoke English with an accent — but not a Hebrew accent — a South African accent because her parents made aliyah from there thirty years ago. 

They don’t tell you how she went to synagogue every Sabbath and smiled at the people in her row before she prayed. And they don’t tell you how she had to hitchhike to get to her job working with children in Kiryat Gat or that she was the main volunteer at Yad Sarah in Tekoa which lends medical equipment like wheelchairs to those who are sick or injured. They don’t tell you how she liked to help brides look beautiful by doing their makeup for them before their weddings.

They don’t care that Dahlia’s father Nachum drives the ambulance in Tekoa. Day and night he is called on to make the drive to Jerusalem, and that Dahlia’s mother cares tenderly for the elderly.

You will never learn from the articles that, when a neighbor had to go to the hospital with a sick child, Dahlia stayed with the other young children all night and insisted that they not pay her. The articles would never tell you that she was the one who cooked the food for her brother Haggai’s bar mitzvah a month ago, fried fish, salad and pancakes.

No, they don’t want you to know what a kind, giving, loving young woman she was on the cusp of her adult life, looking towards marriage and creating her own family.

Instead the newspapers show a photo of the terrorist and tell us that the Palestinian leadership says that it is normal and natural to run over a young woman and then stab her to death so that her blood runs like a red cape into the street. 

Normal and natural. An act of resistance. When the Palestinian leadership calls for their people to take a knife and find Jews to murder, and calls it natural and normal, we have entered the realm of unadulterated evil. Dahlia embodied its opposite and that fact shouldn’t be obscured from the world.

Dalia Lamkus Stabbed to death by Arab Savage,was also stabbed there 8 years ago.

The 26-year-old woman who was stabbed Monday at a hitchhiking station in Gush Etzion has been named as Dalia Lemkos.

Lemkos was also injured in a past stabbing attack eight years ago, also in Gush Etzion, reports Israel National News (http://bit.ly/1uXbh6B ).

“I stood on February 28, 2006 at Gush Etzion Junction when a terrorist came and began to stab those standing at a hitchhiking station,” Lemkos said at the time of the incident. “I was one of two people stabbed. Luckily I was not badly wounded, and with the help of G-d, the other wounded victim will recover.”

Lemkos was stabbed to death, and a 26-year-old man and a 50-year-old man were both wounded in a terrorist attack at the hitchhiking station  previously reported by Vin News (http://bit.ly/1ssOPdS ). Both men are in light to moderate condition.

Blood of 25 year old victim

A 25 year old woman was stabbed in a stabbing terror attack at the Alon Shvut junction in the Gush Etzion area of the West Bank on Monday. The attack came hours after an IDF soldier was stabbed and critically wounded by a terrorist in Tel Aviv.

According to an initial investigation into the attack, a car pulled up to the hitchhiking post at the entrance to the Alon Shvut settlement. The driver then stepped out of the car and stabbed three people.

The guard stationed at the entrance to the settlement shot the terrorist, seriously wounding him.

The Islamic Jihad later claimed responsibility for the attack.

The incident occurred meters away from the location where three Israeli teens — Eyal Yifrah, Naftali Fraenkel and Gil-Ad Shaer — were kidnapped and then killed in June.

Hannan Meir, a Magen David Adom paramedic who arrived on the scene, told The Jerusalem Post, "When we arrived, I saw two people lying on the ground near the bus stop - the same place where three teenagers were kidnapped [by Hamas members in June this year]. One person [the 25-year-old Israeli woman] was unconscious, and another man was in light to moderate condition. Our people, together with the army, began treating the unconscious woman. We tried to resuscitate her, and placed her in the ambulance. We were forced to declare her dead as she was in the ambulance on the scene."

The IDF evacuated one injured person to the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, and a second injured person to the Sha'arei Tzedek Medical Center in Jerusalem. Paramedics treated another person on the scene who suffered shock. One stab victim sustained cuts to his jaw, and a second sustained a stab wound to the stomach. 

The terrorist is being treated in hospital.

The IDF temporarily closed off the area and to search for possible additional suspects.

The attack came hours after a Palestinian stabbed and critically injured an IDF soldier near Hahagana train station in Tel Aviv.

No Greater Enemy to Israel than Obama: Trump

In response to FOX News’ Judge Jeannine Pirro’s question concerning Obama’s nuclear concessions to Iran, real estate mogul and former US presidential candidate Donald Trump said last week,

 “Probably, maybe from the beginning, there has never been a greater enemy to Israel than Barack Obama. It’s incredible.”

Trump then added, “The way he treats them. The way he’s speaking to them. I think, he treats our known enemies much better.”

Upon additional questioning by Judge Pirro, with regard to the United States Ambassador Susan Rice’s walking out of the UN before Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s General Assembly speech, and the Obama administration's reported “chicken***t” remark, Trump went on to explain:

“Look, they don’t like him, and they don’t like Israel. And, that’s what I say. I speak to friends of mine that are Jewish. I say, ‘How are you supporting this man?’ He’s the worst thing that ever has happened to Israel... 

What’s going to happen is, the way it’s going, Iran will have a nuclear weapon. And it’s very close. And, as soon as that happens, it’s a new ballgame.”

“The United States is so poorly run,” he said. “When you look at relations with other countries, in history it’s never been like this. 

Not one country do we get along with anymore. And, it’s not like we don’t get along because we are taking advantage of them. We don’t get along, and they’re taking advantage of us.”

PART 5

"THE IDF ARE THE BIGGEST MURDERERS"

Before I take the liberty to translate the piece, its really hard to believe that a "Manhig Yisrael" would spew such venom and hate against Jewish Children! It was the Satmar Rebbe that misled thousands of his Chassidim in pre-war Rumania into believing that Hitler would never touch Hungary, and advised those pathetic individuals not to use their Visas to America and to the then Palestine. The majority of his Chassidim that took his advice perished in the Holocaust!

He then took the opportunity to flee Romania with his family, on a Zionist train.

It could be that in hindsight, no one really knew, and that he really meant well, but to then turn around in 1967, when Jewish Soldiers in a Jewish Army, fought gallantly in self defense to protect  their own families and other Jews from the bloody murderous Arabs and call those very saviors, "Murderers"  is beyond the call of decency!

And now the loose translation:

"(Quoting from Malchai 2) 'If you do bad ... is that good in the eyes of Hashem?'
Lots of people say that the chayalim (IDF) are "bnei Olam Habah"  how can someone be sooo blind?

The Almighty saves Jews.... can anyone actually think that those who brought the sword to the world, are actually the saviors?

On the contrary! It would be a miracle if we could be saved from their hands! 

The biggest murderers are the IDF! They caused this war (1967) they brought the sword, literally, this war was needless!

I won't go into it at this time , this will all come out soon (that Israel started this war). 

Besides, 

all the troubles that Jews are going through, is only because of the establishment of the profane country!"

My Dear Readers:

I had to re-read it four times and then went to the recording, because I couldn't believe that a Shomer Torah U'Mitzvos would call another Jew, a "murderer"!

And not just a Jew, but a Jew who put on a uniform to put his life at risk to save other Jews!

This is the Satmar Shita! And this my friends has to be reputed and denounced.

The Satmar Rebbe refused to thank the Shliach that Hashem sent to save him....the Zionist, Rudolf Kastner!

But we will thank the Jewish Soldiers that put their necks on the line to make sure that there can be a Satmar Shul in Bnei Brak, so there can be a Satmar Shul in Meah Shearim.... 

Want to live to 120? Exercise more, eat healthily and take statins

Scientists haven't quite figured how we can live forever - but they now say they have worked out how we could make it to 120.

Experts suggest that exercising more, eating healthily and taking statins is the key to slowing the ageing process.

Although a 'wonder-pill' is not in sight, making lifestyle changes such as cutting down on sugar, salt and fat and taking drugs that already exist might work, says the Longevity Science Panel.

The group, which independently monitors evidence that explain changes in life expectancy and advises policymakers, found doing so took the average lifespan from 80 to 84.

The 'What is ageing? And how do we delay it?' report states that at present few people live to around 110 - but by making these adjustments they predict that the healthiest individuals could live to 120.

It explains that ageing happens because of problems in cell division - an essential function which leads to growth, organ development and the replacement of damaged cells.

But it is errors that occur in this natural process that impacts on ageing, according to experts, along with lifestyle factors like smoking and drinking.

Over-eating is said to cause a rise in cell mutation because it speeds up cell division.

When cells divide they also shorten the protective caps called telomeres and consequently once they reach a certain size they stop dividing entirely. 

This process is known as senescence, which when it is built up in an organ it prevents the ability to repair damage and causes wrinkles and age spots.

But the panel found this process can be slowed down by eating well, exercising and taking drugs which impact on pathways in the body. 

Dame Karen Dunnell, Chair of the Longevity Science Panel, said: 'From this research we have been able to build up a picture of the latest developments in this area. 

'The experts tended to agree on which possible factors are important in understanding the biology of ageing. 

'However, they did not necessarily agree on which are the most important components of the ageing process, or on which interventions might have the greatest potential for extending lifespan.' 

Tests revealed that a Mediterranean diet and possible calorie restriction lowered the incidence of age-related disease.

Drugs such as statins, which have an anti-inflammatory effect in addition to lowering cholesterol, were also found to delay the ageing process.

While the drug rapamycin, which has been shown to regulate cell division, increased the lifespan of mice by up to 26 per cent.

And resveratrol, which comes from red wine and is sold in dietary supplements, extended the life in simple animals such as yeast, nematodes and killifish, but results have been inconsistent in other animals including mice and flies.

Richard Faragher, professor of Biogerontology at the University of Brighton, told The Sunday Telegraph that living healthier for longer was more important than increasing lifespan.

'Ageing occurs because the mechanisms which keep us in good health fail over time. 

'After a variable number of divisions, cells will stop dividing and start to do bad stuff. 

'So, in effect, all age related diseases are being driven by a few mechanisms which if you could control them, could be the difference between somebody hobbling down the street, or jogging past you.' 

According to the Office for National Statistics, life-expectancy at birth in England increased between 1981 and 2010 from 71 to 78 in men and 77 to 82 in women.

The panel concluded that longevity will continue to increase in the next 10 years but the rate is likely to slow down.
