Holocaust victim scam lands 17 in court

17 senseless bellends stole more than $54 million from a non-profit group based in New York, known as the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, that distributes German government money to Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Those nasty pieces of work, of which six worked for the Claims Conference, tricked the non-profit into making about 5,500 payouts based on false claims. Two of the funds that you can claim from the non-profit were targeted by the scheme: one fund makes a single $4,639 payment to Jewish victims of the Nazis, and the other makes monthly payments of $529. Being a tertiary student, that much extra money would really make life easier for me but I know better than to scam a non-profit into whoring out funds meant for people who were victimised by history's worst crime and then use said funds for my own personal gain. That is just horrible and the Claims Conference did the right thing by contacting the FBI as soon as the fraud was discovered.
