THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME CHABAD’S EMISSARIES AND RESPECTED RABBIS HAVE HAD COLLATERAL DRUG CHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH MONEY LAUNDERING CHARGES!
WHEN WILL CHABAD FINALLY SPEAK TO THESE ALLEGATIONS?
The following is a copy of a letter that relates to the arrest of Rabbi Zalman Zirkind (on money laundering charges) and a number of other defendants, including his own family members. The news articles and charges against the Zirkind clan suggest that this family has a history of inappropriate financial dealings and that these charges may be directly connected to a larger drug trade.
We have highlighted the section of the letter that could lead one to conclude that Zirkind was actively involved involved in the heroin trade. If we are wrong here, this will be corrected.
Chabad’s Lubavitch’s sordid involvement in money laundering, whether directly or collaterally, as well as in matters of drug trafficking (again perhaps indirectly) is not new. There are a number of cases both in the US and in Israel related to these allegations.
We suggest, that Chabad needs to get involved and either publicly separate itself or acknowledge the illegalities occurring within its organization. The dirty money obtained from money laundering and drug trafficking is presumably being used to help fund Chabad, whether they were aware of it or not. And, if not, the money should be surrendered or returned.
No kidding. Problem is: most of the Chabadniks are highly educated. The study of the Torah and its corresponding texts does require a unique discipline. The evangelical wingnuts of Pence and his fellow hypocrites are generally uneducated halfwits and that is perhaps the greatest difference.
Watch the 2010 movie “Holy Rollers” starring Jessie Eisenberg, who plays a Hasidic rabbinical student turned drug courier. Wikipedia has an article on the movie.

Chabadniks are as bad or worse than the Pence-style evangelical hypocrites. Cut from the same cloth, just in a different style.

Will do. This is really quite outrageous, however. It does not begin nor end with this story.
