$40 million Holocaust reparations scam shocks planet

NBC New York reports that Germany’s government has been subject to a $40 million-plus Holocaust scam the likes of which has never been seen. Based on reports by law enforcement, thousands of individuals with no legitimate claim to Holocaust reparations were paid. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has indicated that it had been an inside job at the Conference On Jewish Material States.

Kickbacks part of the Holocaust scam

Since 1994, perpetrators who worked for the Conference On Jewish Material Claims had signed off on bogus applications submitted by a group of over 4,000 Russian immigrants in exchange for various kickbacks. Homes and possessions were supposedly lost during the Nazi oppression by these immigrants. That is the claim they've made that hasn't been seen yet. So far, 17 people are charged within the Holocaust scam.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation explains that a ton of Holocaust reparations claims were filed. About 4,957 are reported. $18 million was stolen with these says. Also, another 658 Holocaust scams cases ended up with losses of $25.5 million.

"It is an affront to human decency," based on chair of the Conference. This is Julius Berman.

What happened within the Holocaust rip-off

Russians alive and were impacted by Nazi war crimes were people those within the Jewish Holocaust scam were trying to find. They put ads in Russian-language newspapers in order to do this. The Federal Bureau of Investigation said that the perpetrators duplicated parts of legitimate applications and used them to create different false applications which were in turn signed off on without question by Conference On Jewish Material Claims members on the take.

Money needed from someplace for the Holocaust scam

NBC New York writes that the "Hardship Fund" had been one of those Jewish Holocaust reparations resources targeted. That fund paid eligible individuals $3,600 in a lump sum if they could prove they lost their homes and were in hiding during World War II. A separate fund paid up to $21,000 per year, per individual for many who could prove they had lived under harsh conditions due to Nazi occupation and policies.
