At that point, however, a riot began. Rumors of the raid spread around the city, and within minutes hundreds of yeshiva students arrived. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>'Things got messy' <BR/> <BR/><BR/>The neighborhood residents who arrived on the scene snatched documents from the hands of the officials, attacked their vehicles, beat them, threw them on the floor and kicked them. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>"All the guys from the yeshiva came and then things got messy. We bought tomatoes and threw them at the officials. The officials took <BR/><BR/> <BR/>shelter in one of the houses. In the meantime we broke their windshields and slashed all of the tires. We didn't leave one windshield whole," one rioter boasted. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>The tax officials called the police, who came to the rescue of the besieged investigators. One of the officials was hospitalized at the Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, where she was treated for shock. <BR/><BR/>A senior Tax Authority official said: "We are acting throughout the sector without fear, and we view these attempts to harm the officials with severity." <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Dudi Nissim, Haim Levinson, and Gad Lior contributed to YNETPaul Mendlowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05887774341136059873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21519732.post-1149629869810295802006-06-06T17:37:00.000-04:002006-06-06T17:37:00.000-04:00"Just Following Orders"For some, the ends justify ..."Just Following Orders"<BR/><BR/>For some, the ends justify the means.<BR/><BR/>Or to paraphrase the late great Barry Goldwater:<BR/><BR/>Moderation in the pursuit of Evil is a vice; Extremism in the enabling of Evil is a Virtue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21519732.post-1149626900483067372006-06-06T16:48:00.000-04:002006-06-06T16:48:00.000-04:00Rabbi Kolko at the end of the day will iyh be vind...Rabbi Kolko at the end of the day will iyh be vindicated...<BR/>he has 2 charges against temimah,<BR/>one who wont show his face the other who is in israel...<BR/>both cases are VERY old and more than likely untrue...<BR/>why after 30 yrs are these stories beinf brought up again??<BR/>is it possible that some1 wants to take him down for a different reason?<BR/>mabye they dont even want kolko???<BR/>mabye its margulis? mabye kolko is the way to margo?? mabye they dont care about either? mabye they want $? mabye its some sort of challenge or game for uoj? <BR/><BR/>no one knows...<BR/>the rebono shel olam does...<BR/><BR/>this case will go through rabonim and courts and i guess we will all know the outcome... but until then we should let those in charge make press releases NOT us..we dont know and are only spreading lashon hara, motzai shaim ra and stuppidity on these pages... as far as any of us know as a fact is that rabbi kolko has been a rebbe for 30 years with thousands and thousands of talmidim. many of his fellow rebbies and past talmidim only have positive to say, <BR/><BR/>there is more than meets the eye in this case, being that rabbi kolko served our community for 30+ yrs mabye give him the benifit of the doubt until the story is definitive...<BR/>right now i dont know and u dont know whats up, UOJ and others are posting "ifs" and "mabyes" as fact or as close to fact as possible...mabye every1 before hiding behind the web and posting lashan hara and crap should ask their rav if its ok to post negative stuff?<BR/>Remember the web offers a fake annomity, god knows what we all do..

GLATER<BR/>When it came to investing, Howard J. Vogel seemed to possess a perverse kind of Midas touch. <BR/><BR/>In early October 1997, he bought 50 shares of Oxford Health Plans. Three weeks later, the stock nose-dived, and Mr. Vogel lost about $3,000 of his investment. Still, Mr. Vogel reaped $1.1 million. <BR/><BR/>How was that possible?<BR/><BR/>Mr. Vogel was a plaintiff in a shareholder lawsuit filed by the New York securities litigation powerhouse Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach against Oxford Health. In 2003, the company, along with other parties that were sued, paid $300 million to settle.<BR/><BR/>Most of the investors received pennies on the dollar for their losses. But Mr. Vogel, then a real estate mortgage broker in Englewood, N.J., was not just a hapless investor who bought the wrong stock at the wrong time. <BR/><BR/>Mr. Vogel now says, according to a plea agreement with federal prosecutors, that he and members of his family were actually linchpins in a long-running arrangement that helped Milberg Weiss snare the lucrative lead counsel position in the Oxford Health and many other securities lawsuits, reaping hundreds of millions of dollars in legal fees. <BR/><BR/>Mr. Vogel, who has since moved to Florida, is a central figure in the government's case against Milberg Weiss Bershad & Schulman, as the law firm is now called. Last month, a federal grand jury in Los Angeles indicted the firm and two of its name partners on several criminal charges, including racketeering conspiracy and money laundering. The firm is accused of making $11.3 million in illegal secret payments to Mr. Vogel and two others who served as plaintiffs in more than 150 lawsuits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21519732.post-1149612833570731072006-06-06T12:53:00.000-04:002006-06-06T12:53:00.000-04:00Hey Ortho,I have to admit I find you one of the mo...Hey Ortho,<BR/><BR/>I have to admit I find you one of the more interesting characters in this drama.
