SOT: Weysan Dun Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the Newark Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

“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;

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.“
