“As alleged, Alfredo Mateo abused his access as a doorman to deplete the financial accounts of a retired teacher who was living in a nursing home, and her husband, who had recently passed away,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Those who take advantage of the access entrusted in them to target older community members and steal from hardworking New Yorkers will be held accountable. I thank the Special Commissioner of Investigation for the New York City School District for their partnership in the investigation.” 

“Marina Trubitsky is facing accountability for her fraudulent actions. The defendant used her position to take advantage of her clients, breaking their trust and stealing thousands of dollars,” said District Attorney Bragg. “My Office will continue to root out fraud by holding accountable those who exploit people relying on their legal counsel and advice.” 

“Hard working New Yorkers need to be able to trust that their attorneys are acting in their best interest,” said District Attorney Bragg. “As alleged, Bryan McKenna completely violated that trust by draining his attorney escrow account of funds from two clients’ real estate transactions. This investigation is ongoing: if you have any information about this alleged scheme or similar misconduct by an attorney, please contact our Financial Frauds Bureau at 212-335-8900.”

“In Manhattan’s competitive real estate market, signing a contract to purchase a home should bring a sigh of relief. Instead, we allege, a real estate attorney abused the trust placed in him by draining an escrow account of $210,000 in funds for a newly contracted apartment weeks after the ink had dried,” said District Attorney Bragg. “New Yorkers must be able to trust that attorneys act ethically and professionally, and we will hold those in the legal profession to those very high standards.”

“As alleged, Yaorong Wan stole diamond rings worth approximately $260,000 from two businesses earlier this year. Manhattan is the retail capital of the country, and we need our business community to thrive,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Our Office will continue to hold those accountable who put Manhattan’s businesses at risk. I thank the NYPD for their continuous partnership.”
