EXCLUSIVE: New York Attorney General Letitia James, who became President Donald Trump's nemesis after accusing him of mortgage fraud, is now battling the very same allegations, and her chief tormentor is a legendary scam artist who says he knows a crook when he sees one.
Sam Antar, who kept the books for his cousin, "Crazy Eddie" Antar, while he built a New York-area consumer electronics empire, helped his late relative skim cash and inflate the value of their company before leaving investors high and dry in the late 1980s. He says he knows every trick in the fraud book and smells a rat in James' real estate filings.
"I don't know how the wheels of justice will turn and, to be frank, I don't care as long as I'm right," said Antar, who has made his findings public. "If they fail to convict her, it's their humiliation and their embarrassment."
Antar pleaded guilty to multiple felonies, cooperating with prosecutors to help convict his cousin, whose chain's ads featured a maniacal pitchman pledging, "Our prices are insane!" While Eddie Antar fled to Israel, was extradited back to the U.S. and served time before dying in 2016, Sam Antar reinvented himself as a fraud expert for government agencies and law firms. He runs a website where he posts about his various investigations.
In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Antar said he worked alone and was the first to unearth documentation of James’ alleged mortgage fraud and posted it to his White Collar Fraud website weeks ago.
He said the strength of his findings, backed by his renowned reputation in the field of uncovering white-collar fraud for the government, eventually led to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) picking up the case and sending a criminal referral to the Justice Department.

I’d like to see that Ghettopotamus sent back to Gyeorgy Soros’ house.

Scam or not, back in the 80s, Crazy Eddies DID have the best prices in the NJ/NY area for audio equipment, TVs, computers and video games. Everything was cutting edge.
Any relation to The Wiz?
Gateway pundit has a video on YouTube where they measure with a tape. Someone should pull info on units on either side just to compare
Way back in 1984, I was working in New Jersey on an EPA emergency response. Crazy Eddie commercials on all the time. His prices really were insane. I bought an in-dash am/fm cassette player, brought it back home to Colorado and put it in my 1969 Chevy pickup. I was living the high life with that stereo in my old beater pickup!!!
Who cares who his cousins may be? Anyone remember Billy Carter? What matters are the facts on this woman who got herself a new primary residence in Virginia.
We’re all 7th cousins of Kevin Bacon.
My $12 Eight Track player that serenaded me thru the 70’s came from Crazy Eddie’s.
Any relation to The Wiz?
I kinda doubt it - at least not a close relation - because Antar’s been beaten (and nobody beats The Wiz).
Two tenant complaints were file in April but inspectors couldn’t get in to look at it.
I am wondering if tenants complained or if this was shenanigans to try to have someone gain access
I once had a girlfriend who bought a car from a Weird Wally.
Seems as if be loved animals, so I’ll give him that

As they said in the Progressive ad after Flo’s apartment was robbed: “Cassette player, VCR, cable ready TV, they went straight for all the high tech stuff.”
“folks in the California Southland were treated to “’al Worthington and his dog Spot.’”
He had a big dealership in Anchorage, too.

Did you read the article? Antar himself was in on the scam.
