SILIVE.com (http://bit.ly/1jX9TEU) reports that 31 year-old Yehuda Rubin was brought in for questioning and ultimately linked to check cashing scheme after a routine traffic stop turned up a host of illegal drugs, including marijuana, oxycodone, Xanax, and Adderall in his vehicle.
According to court documents, two check books belonging to Yeshiva’s Manhattan affiliate Mesivtha Tifereth Jerusalem were stolen from an office in 2011, and that 16 checks ranging in amounts from $1,800 to $4,000 were cashed between August and December in 2011, all at a Pay-O-Matic in Brooklyn.
Rubin, who was a student at the school back in 2001, was arraigned on multiple counts of grand larceny and misdemeanor drug charges last Friday and bail was set at $35,000.
I heard of kids not returning seforim (accidentally) from a yeshiva but stealing checks?
He deserves a good punishment.
Don’t learn full time in yeshiva and don’t steal other people’s assets.
What are we Arabs?
The big question is; How did this work over a period of time?
Is the Yeshivah so flush with money that they did not notice it?
Were they hushed for internal reasons?
Why did they not change their account number?
Very sad if true.
