Did he take "you" to the cleaners yet? Give him a chance.

An individual who portrays to do anything & everything for the benefit of the tzibur etc: let's see if the facts bear that out. Err-maint-nuhr-dem-ba'sheffer

He was involved in building and running the finances of the main mikva in Lakewood (11th St) and handled all of the monies. At the same time he was building a Rabeim housing on 7th & Monmouth Ave. Anybody who asked for an acounting was rebuffed. There were very strong reasons to believe that there was comingling at best.

Asking every newlywed to contribute $500.00 to the mikvah? Was an open & tranceparent accounting ever done for this mikvah. Are they overfunded by now? How many newlyweds are there in Lakewood every year? (250-300+-) Do the math.

There are now numerous Mikvahs in town, why only this one, the fund should be distributed to all of them?

All the Shop-Rite Mikvah coupons monies were also handled by the individual with no cheshbon to any one. There was strong reasons to believe that there was co-mingling at best. Thousands of dollars are unaccounted for.

Vaad Li'Hatzolas Nidchei yisroel headed by Rabbi Mordechai Neustadt: The purchase & shipping of containers of food to Russia was arranged for years by this individual with no cheshbon given to the Organization. When evidence surfaced that something is very not right, he was asked for an acounting & bills, invoices, receipts, etc. They then asked for a Din-Torah, which he weaseled out by saying "everything I did was in conjunction with Reb Matisyahu so take him to a din-torah".

All of the mikvas & houses that he constructed for Organizations & individuals were always way above estimate. Even when there were signed detailed contracts, he weasled out & pulled the extra thousands out of the poor shuls, mikvas, individuals. Buyer beware: With his track record, any one who uses him for any job, it is their own fault when they get taken to the cleaners.

The BMG co-op that was located first in the Yeshiva Apts, then in the Irvington was gotten out of BMG very slyly by this individual, er-meint-nur dem-basheffer.

He will try his sly hand at any organization he can manuever himself into. He operates strictly with no oversight, no records, no books, no receipts-madoff style. He is very capable, shrewd, etc. You'll never figure out how he comingled all the money to his benefit.

Now what can he do with the BF/LCS? Take the properties they own, get approvals, build it out, etc with the pretext to pay off all of the outstanding debt. Good question how much will be left over as his numbers mushroom. Don't forget he is building other projects at this time, so you'll never know what went to where, & he will always get the sub-contractors to write the invoice, receipt as instructed.

Oh! the list is much longer.

Any Zedokas going to his addresses don't have any assurance that the monies are going to the intended tzedokas. So beware when you are sending out a mailing utilizing his Organization, or when you are responding to a mailing, do NOT make out any checks to those Organizations controlled by him.
