Rabbi Hirsh Ginsberg, the 'Chief Justice' (and secretary, receptionist and maintenence man) of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States and Canada, also known as Agudas HaRabbonim, has a long letter in the March 18, 2005 Forward defending Rabbi Milton Balkany. Rabbi Balkany, Sholom Rubashkin's brother-in-law is noted for both his generosity and for playing fast and loose with the law, has been scandal-ridden for years.
Rabbi Ginsberg strongly objects to using the term "Brooklyn Bundler" to refer to Rabbi Balkany, who he characterizes as a man of generosity and kindness.
Apparently diverting almost $1,000,000 in Federal grants meant for the disabled into business projects controlled by his family is not a crime in Rabbi Ginsberg's court and is, in fact, behavior to be praised.
