    NYPOST.com (http://bit.ly/1g3UKaf) reports that Rapfogel’s name was placed into nomination by Silver’s Harry S. Truman Democratic Club for the vote which is set to take place on Thursday.

    Rapfogel, who has maintained a public silence on both her William Rapfogel’s conviction on theft of about $9M from the Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty and Silver’s indictment on fraud and extortion charges, rakes in over $180,000 annually as Silver’s chief of staff.

    She will probably eventually wind up in the same place as hubby. All those millions of dollars she had no idea where they came from.

    Things like this rarely work. The guy used to have power and so people would pay him money or cooperate with him. He naturally thought they did this because he is a swell fellow. Now, other than blackmail, he has no power. Now nobody will work with him or give him a penny.

    He went from 60mph to 0 in the blink of any eye.

    Goniff Shelly ‘the Shill ‘ Silver, still trying to manipulate the system. And the Rapfogels gave Bernie Madoff a bad name. Disgusting machers. So many frum Yidden work hard and live in poverty while these bums strut around and flaunt their riches.

    #11 , if you read the papers, it said $400 thousand. not millions.
    #10, people in her neighborhood do not say that she flaunts anything. if anything she dresses quite modestly and not showy at all. I have seen her here and there for many years. never looked showy.
    as barryls1 said, its erev rosh hashonah, enough loshon hora. use common sense and even if you don’t like them, pray for them. I have prayed for people I don’t particularly like. I pray that they should be well and things should go well for them. if you have rachmanus on others, Hashem will have rachmanus on you.
