The Big Apple kidney sale
Something rotten had been taking place with human organs in United States. Top officials and religious leaders were involved with criminal activity after 9/11.
FBI's secret operation led to arrest of organ traffickers in New Jersey and New York. Police caught politicians and Rabbis for money laundering, political corruption and human organ trafficking. Mayors, public officials and 19 orthodox Jews were indicted by the FBI.
Rabbi Levy-Izhak Rosenbaum sold kidneys at a huge profit. He was caught after organ smuggling expert Professor Nancy Scheper Hughes told FBI in 2002 that Rosenbaum is a major figure in international organ smuggling. Rabbi's business was to bribe vulnerable people to sell their kidney for 10,000. He would then sell it for 160,000. If people changed their mind at the last moment, Rabbi Rosenbaum would hold them at gunpoint to ensure they donated their organs.
