According to reports appearing on a number of Chabad websites, a number of Chabad bochrim are sitting in jail because they trusted a man described a "frum? who they say is a con artist, warning others he lives in Efrat and goes by the name of Ami Katz.
Apparently, tens of Chabadnikim turned to him to assist arranging them a visa to travel to the United States as well as obtaining the necessary permits to avoid IDF military service.
An unspecified number of the boys got into a jam with US immigration officials, and some are banned from ever obtaining a visa or returning to the USA. Others find themselves in hot water with IDF authorities, and are sitting in jail awaiting a continuation of the judicial process against them. Just this week, four boys were sent to jail by IDF officials.
A parent reports the "con artist? made off with tens of thousands of dollars of hard-earned money and did nothing except ruin many lives while ensuring himself a handsome profit.
