A former crony of New York Mayor Bill de Blasio is accused of using his alleged links to the Kardashians to lure victims in a diamond fraud scheme.
Jona Rechnitz, who was already sentenced to 10 months jail after pleading guilty in a corruption scheme, is now facing a separate fraud lawsuit involving $15million in gems.
Although they have no direct connections to the alleged scheme, Rechnitz shared footage of himself partying with Kim Kardashian at a November jewelry show in New York in an attempt to convince a judge to 'go easy on him' during December's sentencing.
In this latest fraud, however, Rechnitz is alleged to have used the jewelry show as a way to draw in more victims to his fraud.
