This is Bigger than Madoff! Arrests Put Spotlight on Jewish Community

Jews love to portrait themselves as human and USA’s best friend. If the behavior of these Jews is human then I wonder how Jewish criminals behave. If the rest of the Jewish rabble is as law-obedient as these Jews, then now wonder USA is known around the world for her crimes against humanity.

Where do Jewish criminals bank their money? Israel, the crime-nation

“For these defendants, corruption was a way of life,” Ralph J. Marra Jr., the acting United States attorney in New Jersey, said at a news conference. “They existed in an ethics-free zone.”

Mr. Marra said that average citizens “don’t have a chance” against the culture of influence peddling the investigation had unearthed. (Excerpt from NY TImes account)

Arrests Put Spotlight on Jewish Community

Thousands of Syrian Jews Live in Deal

July 23, 2009 — The arrests of politicians and religious
leaders in what authorities describe as an international corruption
and money laundering operation are putting an insular Syrian Jewish
community at the Jersey shore in an uncomfortable spotlight.
Two of the rabbis charged Thursday with money laundering headed
Jewish congregations in Deal.
The wealthy Monmouth County beach community is home to about
10,000 Syrian Jews year-round, and the population surges to three
times that much in the summer, fueled by vacationers from Brooklyn.
A member of a synagogue headed by one of the defendants says the
charges are hard to believe, given the rabbi’s sermons on the need
to be ethical.
