Eli Weinstein, a member of Lakewood’s ultra-Orthodox community who has been accused of ripping off former partners in courts from New Jersey to Israel, was arrested by federal agents early this morning and charged with a $200 million ponzi scheme.
The 35-year-old real estate investor and former used car salesman, taken into custody at his home, was charged with bank and wire fraud for allegedly running an investment fraud scheme, said the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark.
Weinstein faces a string of civil lawsuits seeking millions in damages over real estate transactions that span the world.
