A Suffolk County man has been arrested for stealing nearly $183,000 from the Chabad of Roslyn’s business account, directed by Rabbi Aaron Konikov, over a two-year period through 201 unauthorized transactions, police said.
A Suffolk County man has been arrested for allegedly stealing close to $200K from the business account of Chabad of Roslyn, New York, directed by Rabbi Aaron and Chanie Konikov.
According to a joint investigation by the Nassau County Police Department and the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office, Rami Mohamed, 40, accessed the Chabad’s account over a two-year period and carried out 201 unauthorized transactions.
The total figure widely reported was $124,000. However, Rabbi Konikov later confirmed with Anash.org that the total loss was $183,000.
Mohamed, who had been hired by Chabad of Roslyn three years ago to perform minor carpentry work, was charged with second-degree grand larceny and is expected to be arraigned on Thursday, police said.

Just finishing Yom Tov. Having a snack before a meal.
I see this post. Hope all will be ok. May this year bring much prosperity to all.
I do have a complexed Question .
ChaBaD is non profit. After 2-3 years isn’t there an accountant who does the + &-‘s for your account.
How do you now see monies missing after all this time?
Besuros Tovos.
Yeah something doesn’t sound right about this there is obviously more to the story, you don’t just have 125k go missing from your cc without you realizing.
They noticed, and launched an investigation
With cc after you see 1 unauthorized purchase you dispute the charge and get a new card.
