SOT: Weysan Dun Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the Newark Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
“the list of people we arrested sounds like the roster for a meeting of leaders. But they weren’t meeting in a boardrooom but an FBI booking room.“
Among the notable faces in this perp walk -- the mayor of Hoboken, New Jersey, elected just this june,.
He’s charged with accepting $25,000 in cash bribes.
The common denominator for all these people -- a cooperating government witness.

“our cw had his projects moved up because he paid up.“
Also busted -- several rabbis charged with laundering proceeds from selling fake Gucci and Prada bags.
SOT: SOT: Ralph Marra Jr. Acting U.S. Attorney;
“these complaints paint a disgraceful picture of religions leaders having money laudering crews acting as crimes bosses. They used charities.“
One rabbi is also charged with trafficking kidneys from Israeli donors.
SOT: SOT: Ralph Marra Jr. Acting U.S. Attorney;
“He enticed people to give up a kidney for 10,000 and he’d sell for 160,000.“
