Einhorn also pays $1,031,034.35

Leasing News has been writing about Victor Einhorn since his arrest on April 4, 2001, with many charges, including creating a network of non-existent companies ranging from real estate agencies and computer software companies, to a medical clinic, in order to establish equipment leases, order electronic or computer equipment and obtain corporate credit accounts. He also posed as the owner of a non-kosher restaurant that allegedly catered a bar-mitzvah and charity benefit dinner for members of the Hasidic community in a scheme to defraud Diners Club International, as well as members of his own community. He was eventually found guilty of these charges.

"I remember you; hope your news service is doing well. A check was just turned over to the Court for restitution in this case to victims who had filed claims for restitution. (Way back when I was a Postal Inspector, I had asked you to help me locate victims who had not responded to letters, phone calls or who had been acquired by other leasing Cos. and get them to file claims - which you did).

“This particular money came from cash Einhorn had and proceeds from his real estate that was sold for restitution and was being held in a trust account prior to sentencing/restitution Orders being entered by the court."

"On 10/3/05,Judge Judge Barbara Jones sentenced him to a period of incarceration of 84 months (7 years) which is in the range of what he pled guilty to, before the Federal Sentencing Guidelines were declared unconstitutional and, therefore, merely advisory, last year," Criminal Investigator J.R.Goodman notes." Restitution was ordered to be paid by him (and previously, his co-defendants) in the amount of $8,175,306. Assets that were seized by myself and the USPIS were ordered to be turned over to the USMS for liquidation to supplement the funds from the sale of Einhorn's real estate holdings, and cash that was voluntarily forfeited by Einhorn."

At this date from the liquidations, a check was written to the US District Court on February 7, 2006 for $1,031,034.35.

In addition to the time he will serve, and the personal cost of defending himself for over four years, all assets found to date have been liquidated. The debt continues, should the court find more, and they do pay a "finders fee."
