It’s just too incredible. A flamboyant artist charms his way into the good graces of an 88-year-old heiress, who gives him gifts worth more than $1 billion. The heiress’s daughter sues the dandy for allegedly exploiting her mother’s feeble condition. Meanwhile, the old lady’s butler secretly records her conversations with her financial advisers. Leaked to the press, the recordings suggest massive tax fraud, murky ownership of a tropical island, and cozy, perhaps illegal relations with the country’s president, whose campaign was partially funded by the heiress. Then a key witness for the daughter accuses a prominent Cabinet minister of accepting $195,000 in cash on behalf of the president. But the witness’s reliability is questioned when it turns out that the daughter paid her $515,000. Added to all that, the colossal fortune in question comes from a cosmetics firm founded by an anti-Semitic Nazi sympathizer, whose granddaughter, the plaintiff, is married to the grandson of a rabbi who died at Auschwitz.

Anthony Salerno said that Lawrence J. Cohen of Sixth Avenue was being held in the Monmouth County Jail in lieu of $70,000 bail.<br /><br />Salerno said Cohen was observed viewing the child pornography Monday afternoon and when he returned to the library on Tuesday, he was identified and arrested.<br /><br />Authorities took the computer and are applying for a search warrant to go through it, Salerno said.<br /><br />The library has a reputable filtering system on its computers, but that system still can be circumvented, library director Robert Stewart said. Salerno said the pornography could have been sent via e-mail, but that is not yet known.<br /><br />Cohen claimed in 1997 when living in Manalapan that a multiple personality disorder led him to arrange a weekend of bondage with an 11-year-old boy. A kindergarten teacher at a public school in Brooklyn at the time, he was apprehended because the boy he thought he was making arrangements to meet was a police officer posing as a child in an Internet chat room.<br /><br />When Cohen arrived at a motel in Wall, arresting officers found he had brought a car trunk full of bondage gear, according to news reports. Later, police found similar restraining devices in his desk at his school.<br /><br />Cohen served seven years in prison on state and federal charges. He returned to his parents' home in Manalapan in 2006 but quickly came under attack from neighbors who said he could not live within 2,500 feet of a school, day care center, park or library under the township's Sex Offender Residency Restriction ordinance. That law was repealed in 2009.<br /><br />Cohen began a fight to stay in Manalapan, but later moved to Asbury Park.Lawrence Cohennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21519732.post-65295486207759074172010-10-06T21:37:37.897-04:002010-10-06T21:37:37.897-04:00http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/07/business/07relie...http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/07/business/07relief.html?hpw<br /><br />When I started reading here about another Beverly Hills based scam, I cringed and wondered if the trail leads back to Beth Jacob again.

Because the post was ridiculous and otherwise full of personal attacks that go against the very spirit of what he claimed to defend, R' Yudel erased the comment.<br /><br />The only person I have ever shown the michtav to is a rov who I later learned was turning around & feeding everything I told him to Schwartz. The weird thing is that this rov does not eat from the Queens Vaad because he doesn't trust them (which drives Schwartz mad) but still decided to throw me under the bus after he was convinced by some yoyos that R' Yudel and UOJ are the biggest reshoyim on Earth. He literally repeated from a jerk at the OU who is friends with Schwartz that "Yudel is worse than Hitler, he is mamash a Nazi".<br /><br />If this isn't a sign that some of our "manhigim" are extremely gullible and dangerous people, I don't know what is. I spoke to some (true) gedolim who agree these people are out of their minds for a variety of reasons.
