New York rabbis had Israeli money connection
Albuquerque News.Net
Saturday 25th July, 2009
The Jerusalem Post has reported that the source of millions of dollars involved in alleged money-laundering by five arrested New Jersey rabbis, came from Israeli sources.
The rabbis were arrested in the US on Friday, allegedly in connection with a money laundering scam and trafficking in human organs.
New Jersey’s Jewish communities have been shocked by the stories of corrupt politicians who accepted cash bribes in exchange for political favours and rabbis who allegedly laundered tens of millions of dollars through charities in the United States, Switzerland and Israel.
According to court documents, one of the rabbis detained, Eliahu Ben-Haim, used a source in Israel to supply money in the US in exchange for a 1.5 percent fee.
The FBI on Thursday arrested Israeli man, Levi Deutsch, charging him with funding the bank checks that were passed through charitable organisations run by the rabbis.
Deutsch allegedly travelled frequently between Israel and New York as a diamond seller, among other businesses.
He allegedly told police he worked with a Swiss banker who charged two or three points per $1 million laundered through him.
The Post has reported the FBI case will hinge on the testimony of a chief cooperating witness from the Syrian Jewish community, who managed to infiltrate a money-laundering network in New Jersey and Brooklyn.  Email this story to a friend

This is a good example of how bad people hijack religions and try to make the rest look bad. I am muslim, but I am smart enough to know that just because you have some bad people in your religion, it doesnt mean you are all bad or that your religion is bad.

Only religious when it suits them
The embrace of De Beers by the Hasidic community is proof that people are only religious when it suits them.
De Beers supplied industrial diamonds to the Nazis without which the Nazis would not have been able to produce their military or anything that required diamond blades or precision tooling (i.e. planes, guns, tanks, etc.)

IMPLICATED CHARITIES
Has anyone heard the names of any of the Jewish charities implicated in the money laundering?
