Operation Bid Rig is an ongoing, long-term investigation into political corruption in New Jersey.......... In July 2009, sting operations resulted in the arrest of 44 people in New Jersey and New York, including 29 public servants and political operatives, and five orthodox rabbis from the Syrian Jewish community..........

The third phase of the investigation—Operation Bid Rig III—began after an individual identified by news sources as real estate developer Solomon Dwek [ Jew, stole $60 million from his uncle ] of Ocean Township was arrested on charges of committing $50 million in bank fraud in May 2006. Dwek, a well-known member of the Syrian Jewish community whose parents founded the Deal Yeshiva,[1] agreed to become a cooperating witness for the FBI, infiltrating a money-laundering network connecting Israel and Syrian Jewish communities in Brooklyn and Deal, New Jersey. This network has allegedly laundered tens of millions of dollars through charitable non-profit organizations controlled by rabbis in New York and New Jersey. Among the rabbis implicated are Saul J. Kassin of Congregation Shaare Zion in Brooklyn, Eliahu Ben Haim of Congregation Ohel Yaacob in Deal, and Edmond Nahum of the Deal Synagogue.[6]

According to criminal complaints, Dwek (identified as "CW" for "cooperating witness"), informed targets of the sting that he was bankrupt and trying to conceal his assets, claiming involvement in illegal businesses including the sale of counterfeit Gucci and Prada handbags, as well as insurance scams and bank frauds. The targets accepted checks made by Dwek made out to their charitable foundations and returned the money to him after deducting a fee. Much of the cash they provided him came from Israel, and some of that in turn came from a Swiss banker, prosecutors said. Prosecutors said that about $3 million had been laundered for Dwek since the beginning of the third phase of the operation in June 2007, much of the money coming from Israel.

The case shifted to focus on public corruption after one of the men accused of money laundering, Moshe Altman of Monsey, New York, a Hudson County developer, introduced Dwek to a politically connected building inspector in Jersey City, who then steered him to another city official, Maher Khalil. Khalil, who is accused of accepting $30,000 in bribes from Mr. Dwek, introduced Dwek to a web of public officials, mayoral and council candidates, and their confidants, whom he called "players"[1]

On July 23, 2009, Acting United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey Ralph J. Marra, Jr. announced the arrest of the following 44 people:[7]

[edit] Organ trafficking
 Levy Izhak Rosenbaum of Brooklyn was alleged to have been conspiring to arrange the sale of an Israeli citizen's kidney for $160,000.[1] According to the complaint, Rosenbaum told the cooperating witness that he had been involved in the illegal sale of kidneys for 10 years. Acting US Attorney Ralph Marra said "His business was to entice vulnerable people to give up a kidney for $10,000 which he would turn around and sell for $160,000". Anthropologist and organ trade expert Nancy Scheper-Hughes claimed that she had informed the FBI that Rosenbaum was "a major figure" in international organ smuggling 7 years ago, and that many of Rosenbaum's donors had come from Eastern Europe. She also heard reports that Rosenbaum held donors at gunpoint to ensure they donated their organs.[8] This is the first organ trafficking case in U.S. history, though no plea has been entered and no trail date has been set since his arrest in 2009.

FBI's key witness in corruption probe? Solomon Dwek - 2009-07-23 -
http://www.mycentraljersey.com/article/20090723/NEWS/90723049
QUOTE
Three years after the FBI charged him with bank fraud, Solomon Dwek has become the bureau's key witness in a massive corruption and international money-laundering probe.

Dwek, named in criminal complaints as "the cooperating witness," was the hub who helped gather evidence against two assemblymen, three mayors and 39 others arrested in a sweeping FBI raid Thursday, according to sources.

Dwek, 36, of Ocean Township, formally became involved with the the FBI three years ago, on May 11, 2006. That is when he was arrested on charges of committing $50 million in bank fraud. He is free on bail.

He had deposited a phony $25.2 million check at a PNC Bank drive-thru branch in Eatontown, according to the FBI. He then wired most of the money away, leaving the bank without the funds to cover the check. He tried to cash another $25 million the next day, but it was refused by the PNC Bank, which sued Dwek on May 3, 2006. A real estate mogul who bought his first property at age 20, Dwek had been revered by many in the close-knit Sephardic Jewish community before his arrest for his frequent acts of philanthropy.

He often lent money to families as well as students at the Deal Yeshiva, a religious school founded by his parents that educates students in the Sephardic Jewish tradition, several community members said.

Dwek's father, Rabbi Isaac Dwek, and his mother, Raizel, founded the Yeshiva more than 20 years ago. Solomon Dwek served as vice president at the school before his arrest. Rabbi Dwek, the school's president, and Raizel, its treasurer, both resigned from their positions after Solomon Dwek's arrest.

Solomon Dwek's wife, Pearl, also worked as a secretary at the school. More than 80 banks, companies, former business partners and others eventually claimed Dwek owed them in excess of $338 million. Dwek was forced into bankruptcy. The bankruptcy proceedings are continuing and the criminal case against Dwek is still pending.

'Cooperating witness'
In Thursday's criminal complaints against the public officials and rabbis, Dwek is unnamed. But the FBI's "cooperating witness" is described as a person "who had been charged in a federal criminal complaint with bank fraud in or about May 2006." Sources have confirmed that the witness is Dwek.

According to acting U.S. Attorney Ralph J. Marra Jr., the cooperating witnessassisted law enforcement personnel by helping them infiltrate a pre-existing international money laundering network. The network, connected to Brooklyn, N.Y., Deal and Israel, laundered tens of millions of dollars through charitable, non-profit entities controlled by rabbis in New York and New Jersey.

Dwek told targets of the money-laundering investigation that he was involved in illegal businesses, including the sale of counterfeit Gucci and Prada bags, as well as insurance scams and bank frauds. The witness also openly discussed his bankruptcy proceedings and said he was attempting to conceal cash and assets, Marra said.

According to court documents, one tape-recorded conversation with Eliahu Ben Haim, a 58-year-old Long Branch resident who is principal rabbi at the Ohel Yaacob Synagogue, the cooperating witness presented Ben Haim with a $50,000 check and described it as the proceeds from "that guy who was holding. . . my money for me on that Florida insurance, uh, scam that I did."

According to records and sources, the check, drawn upon an account for a fictitious company set up by the FBI, was made payable to a charitable foundation operated by Ben Haim, with the expectation that the proceeds would be returned to Dwek at a later date. Ben Haim was to take a 10 percent fee for his services, according to the FBI charges. Ben Haim was charged Thursday with money laundering.

During a June 2008 conversation with Mordchai Fish, 56, of Brooklyn, Dwek provided Fish with an $80,000 check and said it came from the profits from a business that produced counterfeit Prada and Gucci merchandise, according to information from court records and sources.  You know I invested four hundred thousand in that company where we switch the labels from the Prada, the Gucci, and stuff like that," Dwek told Fish. He assured Fish and Lavel Schwartz, 57, of Brooklyn, that the bankruptcy court was unaware of his investment. according to court documents and sources. Both Fish and Schwartz were charged Thursday with money laundering.

Jew In Court Pretends He Is Sorry [ 21 March 2015 ]
Solomon Dwek came unstuck in Operation Bid Rig after stealing $60 million from his uncle. Organjacking was part of the fun for a major crime syndicate. Dwek got out of prison very early. The police in the video are totally unimpressed by his snivelling.
