Update on Joseph Prushinowski
I have tried in the past to find info about him but apparently was spelling his name one letter off. I was able to find several blurbs about him all pretty much saying the same thing. The most recent I could find was that after 13 years on the run he was finally captured in Israel in 2000. He was sentenced to 7 years in prison.
For those of you who don't remember his name right off, he was the Hasidic Jew wanted for International Bank Fraud who stole around $200 million from banks. He was thought to have given a large portion of his gains to Hasidic communities. He was apparently nicknamed the "Robin Hood Rabbi" because of this. |

I'm pretty sure one of the last lifetime airings of this case had a text update at the end of the segment stating he'd been caught.

Sweet! Thanks for the update, CD.
This guy may have had good intentions, but a crime is a crime. |
