The original sentencing on the original fraud guilty plea (he commited this second fraud while on bail awaiting sentencing) was scheduled for May 8. Will it still take place as scheduled? When is sentencing in the second matter?

Disregard my question as to the sentencing in the second matter, I see that it is not scheduled yet.

Very sad. This man seems capable but not rational. What he needs is help and supervision .
Now they will throw the book at him and put him away for decades at tax payer expense. Very sad indeed.

He is Rafi Butler's son.
He has scammed much more than that.
He scammed at least another $100,000 that I know about.

"Now they will throw the book at him and put him away for decades at tax payer expense. Very sad indeed."
Ship him off to Israel: Aliyah at gunpoint. Make the Tribe take care of him at their expense. Bad enough we were robbed by this immigrant grandkid sunofabitch, now we have to give him an all expenses paid trip to Club Fed (Orthodox Division)?
Let him "rise up" from the filth that is US Goyland and find fulfillment with his people.

What would suggest as an option to jail? One way he costs taxpayers in his area a couple of cents a year each, leave him out and he's demonstrated he'll cost hs victims tens of thousands........
Heck - not where I pay my taxes, but I'll kick in a nickel.

Ra-Fool Butler protected the teen-abuser Baruch Lanner, but not as much as another grand OU rabbi, Pinky Shtupler (Stopler). Stopler made a comment saying that Lanner had molested "only" 14 girls out of the hundreds that he had contact with.

He deserves to go away. He scammed people in Teaneck out of their hard earned money and in the interim tore up their marriages with his false promises. I have no pity for low lives like this. How is it that a repeat offender like this was still even allowed to have a checkbook? This is a chilul hashem of the first order. Chap-tu, I spit on you Moshe Butler!!

He may be guilty but we should all still pray that he and his family make it thru the tough time that is ahead. one another note... The banks, stockbrokers and bailout situation the goverment created is any better? There are bankers and stockbrokers that are making millions of dollars for what? They make it off our backs.

Why would MSSB give him the ability to use money from a check that hadn't cleared while he was under on bail for fraud?!
If the banks aren't going to police themselves in this regard perhaps it is time for some more regulation?
Posted by: Seraphya | April 28, 2012 at 11:00 AM
I don't understand why he was never in jail to begin with! 4 years ago, this man tried to steal money from me and I pressed criminal charges. He pled guilty in Hackensack and was given probation with the stipulation that if one more criminal charge was brought against him, he'd automatically go to jail! Why didn't that happen?
