LOS ANGELES—A rabbi pleaded guilty Tuesday to participating in a decade-long tax fraud and money laundering scheme that prosecutors claim involved the leader of an Orthodox Jewish group.

Moshe E. Zigelman, 62, of Brooklyn, N.Y., pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit tax fraud, U.S. Attorney's spokesman Thom Mrozek said.

He faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine when he is sentenced Dec. 8, Mrozek said.

Zigelman and Grand Rabbi Naftali Tzi Weisz are the lead defendants named in a 37-count grand jury indictment last year.

Prosecutors said they were among eight defendants who helped people avoid paying federal income taxes by having them make contributions to charitable groups run by Spinka, a New York based Orthodox Jewish group lead by Weisz.

As part of his plea, Zigelman admitted to paying kickbacks and laundering large amounts of contributions from a participant in the scheme who became a government informant. He admitted that in 2006 the total amount of contributions to Spinka-related charities was $8.5 million, of which $7.7 million was returned to contributors.

Zigelman was Weisz's personal assistant.

Weisz pleaded not guilty in December and will go on trial Sept. 9.

This certainly puts a monkey wrench into the Zionist Conspiracy Theory; how will TPs explain the fact that Jews are being prosecuted for evading the income tax that was foisted on them by other Jews, when everyone knows that no Jew ever pays income tax because they made the law so that only non-Jews pay it?

I know! They weren't "real" Jews and it is all a show trial to distract the "sheeple" from seeing how the Jews are controlling more and more of our daily lives.

Well duh! Didn't you notice it was in L.A.? "Movie" Jews anyone?

Besides, the Zionist Conspiracy doesn't air that particular dirty laundry on their home turf - especially within a dead cat's swing of Hollywood.
