In Toronto Ponzi Scheme, I argued last week that stereotypes (such as the negative stereotype about Jews and money) are often based on a grain of truth. Just last night, I saw a memorable scene in the HBO series Deadwood where Al Swearengen, a central character, says, “Wave a penny under the Jew’s nose; if they got living breath in them, brings them right around.” I found myself laughing out loud.
Enter Naftali Tzi Weisz, the grand rabbi of the Brooklyn based “Spinka sect,” who was sentenced yesterday to two years in prison for a tax evasion and a decade long, global money laundering scheme that cost American taxpayers millions of dollars. This conspiracy involved using tax-exempt donations to charitable organizations and writing them off as bogus tax deductions. Most of the money was funneled back to the Orthodox sect through international transfers, overseas accounts, and an underground banking network.
In the Jewish Power series, I discovered that American Jews give billions of dollars to charity every year. I can’t help but wonder how much of this is some type of money laundering.
I’m reminded of an episode of the Sopranos, where Tony’s daughter asks him is he is involved in organized crime, and with feigned indignation he declares that rumors of him being a mafioso are due to anti-Italian stereotypes.
The Sicilian mafia did exist, Jewish organized crime does exist, especially in the financial fraud, money laundering, sex slavery, and now we see even in organ trafficking.
Plenty of local and state governments in the US and elsewhere have at one time or another come under the sway of organized crime, it’s blatantly obvious that the Israeli government is influenced by and influenced organized Jewish crime in various places.
Never forget that Bernie Madoff was an original founder of NASDAQ. Let that sink in for a minute.

And what does this prove? Can you think of an instance where a non-Jew has been greedy and unscrupulous? What would that prove?
Yes Sophia, I have a nice, high-IQ black friend. Ergo…
Right, Sophia. Jews are not “more criminal” than any other ethnic group. They’re just better at at.
How hard is it to give billions while stealing trillions?
