"The Jersey Sting: A True Story of Crooked Pols, Money-Laundering Rabbis, Black Market Kidneys, and the Informant Who Brought It All Down"

Josh Margolin; Ted Sherman

About the Program

Josh Margolin and Ted Sherman talk about one of the largest federal sting operations in U.S. history, which ended in the arrest of forty-four people in New Jersey on July 23, 2009.  The investigation and subsequent arrests included New Jersey state legislators, several mayors, various state officials, and a number of rabbis.  Christopher Christie, then a U.S. Attorney, initiated the investigation which ended shortly after he left the office to run for governor of the state.  This event was hosted by Richard Stockton College of New Jersey.
