“However, in scam schemes, the scammers go to the county Hall of Records and erase the purchase from the official records. No one is the wiser.”

Crumbs!!!!

That is just too awful!!!

How money laundering is generally done is to purchase buildings/properties in countries X, Y, and Z, resell them, and voila, the money has been immediately laundered.

---

An even better way to launder money is to buy loans at ten cents on the dollar then show it as fully collected. Saw a lot of this with the S&L crises. And if you actually do collect something on the loan, that is a bonus.

ROTFLOL----OMG---that blog's falling down funny---thanks.

Nice-looking boy....heh?

Mug shot of Efraim E, Diveroli, 22-year-old international arms dealer, whose AEY firm just had its $200-$300 million contract with the US govt yanked. Efraim's father Michael Diveroli, operates out of the same address in Miami Beach and has the same fax number.

EXCERPT "How did the Diveroli family qualify for "minority ownership" preferences? Efraim's uncle, the celebrity rabbi Shmuley Boteach was ordained as Botach, but Shmuley's father claims to be an Israeli citizen and the rumor is that their background is Persian Jewish. So Efraim must claim to be Hasidic in order for AEY to qualify as 'disadvantaged.' Funny, he doesn't look too Hasidic in this mugshot. I guess he must have lost his hat and beard on the way to the police station after he beat up that parking valet."

It’s very hard to sort out but I think only Hasidim in the NYC area get affirmative action and it’s based on being economically disadvantaged

I read that Diveroli stuff there months ago.
Very crazy and it’s just more foreigners exploiting us

[dennisw]

Efraim E, Diveroli..... only Hassids seem to qualify and he ain’t one

But if any AA officers were checking they sure don’t know or care. Just rubber stamp it

[Liz]

Efraim Diveroli..... doesn't seem to be a Hasid..............

It could be the family was given a new identity to hide them from the Nazis years back. Using their real names meant certain death.

Remember that latino rabbi a few months back? Could have been given an identity.

Or maybe he was posing as a rabbi to advance a scam. Rabbi David Reis (alias Ruiz, supposedly a Columbian national) and his wife---also from Bernie's Upper East side neghborhod---- were scamming Fortune 500 firms.

The two accumulated $100 million in personal assets, with $6.5 million of it liquid, an art collection valued at $35 million and seven homes, one of them newly-purchased in Jerusalem.

Bernie forgot the wisdom of his faith's teachings.

Question: “Who is a wealthy man?

Answer: "He who is satisfied with what he has."

“This is a case for extreme measures. Start with sodium pentathol.”

Water-boarding comes to mind...and not just for Bernie; include some of the high-rolling investors who likely were in on the scam.
