Two men from Lakewood, New Jersey were arrested yesterday afternoon for allegedly forging a FEMA grant letter which they used to try to defraud a local bank, the Asbury Park Press reported.
David Faria and Chaim Gottlieb – both 42-years-old – allegedly used the forged letter to fraudulently obtain a loan of more than $75,000 from OceanFirst Bank. Each was reportedly charged with with theft by deception, theft and falsifying records.
OceanFirst Bank contacted prosecutors in August after the pair used the forged letter from the Federal Emergency Management Agency that claimed the pair had been awarded a $150,000 FEMA grant. Faria and Gottlieb wanted to use the letter to persuade OceanFirst to approve the to buy two vehicles for the pair’s Lakewood business, Ocean County Search & Rescue Company.
The two men were reportedly arrested yesterday at their homes after FEMA reportedly confirmed the letter was fraudulent.
Bail for each man was set at $25,000 cash with no 10% bond option.
Gottlieb is now reportedly free on bail. Faria was still in Ocean County Jail as of late morning Thursday.
NJ.com reported that a listed number for Ocean County Search and Rescue Company is disconnected.
"used the forged letter to fraudulently obtain a loan"
So was this a grant, that one doen't have to pay back, or a loan, which one has to pay back?

To Isser
If your haraidi it doesnt have to be repaid.
For all other law abiding citizens its a loan that has to be repaid.

Somehow these Haredim seem to acquire enough education and familiarity with the real world to be able to pull of these schemes. How's that work?
