Louis Kestenbaum is the son of Hershel kestenbaum the president of the federal funded organisation called the ODA. the ODA funnels thru an estimate of about $42,000.00 thats forty two million dollars a year in various goverment programs. anyone who wants to do bussiness or benefit from these goverment programs via the ODA has to kick back a percentage to louis Kestenbaum .this rackett and shakedown has been going on for years . Louis is a master of theivery and now he is training in his Joel kestenbaum.

I once heard a funny story . I have an old lady neighbor her name i dont really want to disclose that told me that she went to the same school with Hershell kestenbaum in the small town of Uheforto in Hungry ( thats called Ratsferd in yiddish) it was a small twon and the goverment school that all had to attend daily was a mixed uni boys & girls. and she said that Lunch bags that the chilldren used to bring to school started to vanish. till one day they caught that it was Hershel kestnbaum that was stealing the chilldern's lunch bags everyday. And from that day they had to hide the lunch bags every day so that Hershel kestenbaum should not steal it So this is no new news it runs in the kestenbaum family to be theives..louis had a good theive teacher his own father

Yep is him again, here it goes...

Jewish code of silence hushes scandals
By DAVID ROSE, Home Affairs Correspondent

The Observer - August 4 1991

SECTION: Pg. 6


IN YIDDISH the word is mosser, informer: a word used to describe the ancient evils of folk-memory, the betrayal of communities to the pogrom-happy authorities of tsarist Russia or medieval Europe. In the secretive world of north London's ultra-orthodox Jews, shaken to its foundations last week by separate scandals of sexual abuse and fraud, messira, the act of informing, remains the worst of all crimes.

'People believe a person labelled as a mosser has forfeited the right to life; he can be killed,' said Martin Braun, a member of one of the Hasidic orthodox sects who lives in their heartland, Stamford Hill.

'To understand what is going on you have to realise we are not working to logic, but to certain special codes. The comparison with the omerta, the Mafia code of silence, is not inappropriate. 'Something has gone crooked. We have lost our soul, we have lost our sense of reason. A lethal element has crept in: an arrogance and a total disregard for facts.'

The second is only just beginning. In ultra-orthodoxy's version of the BCCI collapse, David Rubin, the son of the Rebbe of Sassow, the living saint who is rabbi and leader to the Sassower Hasidic sect, has disappeared owing up to pounds 150 million invested by fellow Hasidim, attracted to what seems to have been little better than a pyramid-selling confidence trick.

The deep-seated loathing for messira has characterised the ultra-orthodox response in both cases. Not one of the hundreds of families who have lost fortunes with the flight of Mr Rubin has gone to the police, or agreed to co-operate with an inquiry initiated by the Bank of England. Only one person, Louis Kestenbaum, has even issued a civil writ, and he is from New York, an outsider although also an Hasidic.

If no one has complained about Mr Rubin to the authorities, and some of his investors are so rich as to barely notice their losses, others have been ruined. Sources in the Hasidic community speak of men who remortgaged their family homes, attracted by promises of rates of return on investment in Mr Rubin's company, David Rubin Associates, which seem to have swelled and fluctuated with his mood: five, 10 or 15 per cent per month.

There was pressure to invest more than any ordinary family could afford: Mr Rubin refused investments of less than pounds 250,000, helping smaller fish to form syndicates in which all sank together.

The Observer understands that one victim of the collapse tried to kill himself by drowning last week. He was found face down, almost dead, in the Golders Green mikvah, a ritual bath used by ultra-orthodox women to purify themselves after a period, and by worshippers before the Sabbath.

Those who knew Mr Rubin say his business became big only in the latter days of the 1980s boom. Previously, he had cashed in on the holy status of his father in a more direct fashion: charging pounds 500 to bring one of the more popular Hasidic rabbis to a family's home.

At first he seems to have honoured his promises of glittering returns, partly through the bogus import-export game known as parallel trading. Using front companies in Zaire and Nigeria, he obtained huge discounts on commodities and finished goods for export to Africa which were then resold sometimes date-expired and repackaged in Britain.

His first investors were members of the Sassower sect led by his father, the least-isolated of the ultra-orthodox groups. However, as business burgeoned, Mr Rubin began to be pressed by other sects, including the Satmars of Stamford Hill, many of them vastly wealthy. Soon, as in classical pyramid selling, new business funds were being used to finance the 'interest' payable to older depositors.

Accounts differ as to the immediate cause of Mr Rubin's disappearing act. According to papers filed in Mr Kestenbaum's legal action, he confronted Rubin nine days ago in Amsterdam and demanded the return of a six-figure loan made in March with the promised speedy return of pounds 75,000. Other sources speak of links between foreign investors in Mr Rubin's company and organised crime, and of death threats; there is also a report of New York investors demanding pounds 13m.

Neither the scale of the fraud, nor the exact course of events is likely to be established precisely: no one wants to be the mosser against even a man who has brought penury to hundreds. 'The shtiebel (small synagogue) run by Rubin's father has a reputation for charity,' one source said yesterday. 'Now the community is going to need it, but it's also a way of keeping things self-contained.'

This Kestenbaum guy was involved in a Sexual Harresment case which he settled for a lot of money, here is the article that was written about LOUIS KESTENBAUM'S SEXUAL HARRESMENT CASE in FORTUNE MAGAZINE in 1993:


SEXUAL HARASSMENT WHAT TO DO Complaints are mounting, confusion is rampant, and almost everybody's a little nervous. But many companies are trying hard to stamp out this form of abuse.


/magazines/fortune
By Anne B. Fisher
August 23, 1993
(FORTUNE Magazine) – Tailhook. New rules on college campuses against romances between professors and students. A controversial book that purports to tell the real story of Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas. And of course that staple of late-night-TV jokes, Senator Bob Packwood. In the shift and glimmer of the media kaleidoscope, sexual harassment is a constant glinting shard. Yet no headline-making subject in recent memory has stirred so much confusion. No doubt you've read your company's policy statement and, from just under its surface, you feel the legal eagles' gimlet stare. But what does sexual harassment really mean? Managers of both sexes are sifting through the past and fretting about next week. Was it all right to say I liked her dress? Is it okay to ask him out to lunch to talk about that project? Should I just stop touching anybody, even if it's only a congratulatory pat on the back? For that big client meeting in Houston, wouldn't it be less risky to fly out with Frank than with Francine? Or, for female managers, vice versa? If you think you've got reason to worry, you probably don't; the ones who do are usually unaware they have a problem. But right in your own organization, maybe even in your own department, your hallway, your pod, somebody may be so befuddled and self-destructive as to miss the point entirely. Sexual harassment is not really about sex. It's about power -- more to the point, the abuse of power. Imagine it this way. Suppose one of your most senior and valued people has a little problem. Great producer, terrific salesperson, meets every goal, exceeds every guideline, but, well, there's this one glitch: He steals things. Every time he leaves an office he takes something with him -- a pen, a coffee mug, a book, some change that was lying around. He's been at it a long time, can't seem to help it and, anyway, he's a good guy, a great guy. You're his boss. What are you going to do when he walks off with somebody's $3,000 notebook computer? That's grand larceny, and the victim is hopping mad. For more and more managers these days, the analogy fits. Let's suppose the fellow isn't stealing material things but rather chipping away at the human dignity and professional self-respect of other people. Can't seem to resist . patting fannies and whispering innuendoes. Told a subordinate he'd like to negotiate her raise at the local No-Tell Motel. Cornered a female colleague and loudly compared her physical attributes with those of the current Playmate of the Month. All the time he's producing great stuff. But the whispering behind his back is getting louder; the troops are murmuring about calling the lawyers and human resources people. What do you do with this guy? (Alas, despite a much publicized $1 million jury award in May to a male plaintiff harassed by his female boss in Los Angeles, harassers are, in nine cases out of ten, guys.) Talk to him, of course. If that doesn't work, and odds are it won't, turn him in to the human resources person in charge of these matters. And do it pronto. Otherwise you could be liable along with your employer. Unsolicited, unwelcome, and downright extortionate sexual demands are as illegal as stealing computers. So are purposeful and repeated efforts to intimidate colleagues by transforming the office into a remake of Animal House -- what the law calls ''hostile environment'' harassment. He who steals my briefcase, to paraphrase Shakespeare, steals trash. But the loss of someone's dignity, productivity, and eagerness to come to work in the morning is a theft not only from the person robbed of it, but from the company too. Sexual harassment is not a compliment on anyone's wardrobe or a friendly pat on the shoulder. It is not the occasional tasteless remark or careless quip. It is not even asking someone for a date the second time, when she's already said no once. To stand up in court, a harassment charge must rest on either a persistent and calculated pattern of antisocial behavior or a single quid pro quo -- ''You'll never get anywhere in this company unless you sleep with me'' -- that is so egregious as to leave no room for misinterpretation. The courts have recognized sexual harassment as an offense under Title VII since 1977. But the number of complaints filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has nearly doubled in the past five years, to 10,532 in 1992. It's debatable whether that rise occurred because instances of harassment increased or whether events like the Hill-Thomas hearings encouraged people who had long remained silent to speak up. The EEOC doesn't keep a record of how many cases end up in litigation; many are settled on the courthouse steps.

....Consider the case of Louis Kestenbaum. From 1977 to 1984, Kestenbaum was vice president for a secluded ranch and spa that Pennzoil operated in New Mexico. In January 1984, someone wrote an anonymous letter to Pennzoil's top management accusing Kestenbaum of sexual harassment and other misdeeds. Kestenbaum denied the allegations but settled out of court.......

I was once driving down Bedford Avenue and LEZER KESTENBAUM rear ended my car from behind I went out from my car (b"h it wasn't serious) and LEZER was reeking and smelling from alcohol (I later found out that he is an addicted alcoholic) he begged me that I shouldn't call the cops I looked at my bumper and I told him that this can cost me $1,000 which he then took out $1,000 cash and gave it to me.

Hey anon: 2:35 Did you check to see if the money wasn't counterfeit? I would bet that they were counterfeit!!!! TYPICAL LOUI K.

My question to elezer (louis kestenbaum) is this: How could he go to the judge and say that his best freind naftoly schlesinger is a swindler and crook not from yesterday but for years back? He actually destroyed his best freind by telling the sentencing judge three months before naftolies sentence that naftoly is a crook. Kestenbaum is lower then scum.; i wont look at this kestenbaums face ever..what low life he is

There are several eyewitnesses who remember our beloved Shamas R' Cheskel Wertzberger A"H who went to the previous Satmar Rebbe Ztz"l to beg him to throw out Lezer Kestenbaum from Satmar because he personlly knows the 'MENUVALES' from the menuval Lezer Kestenbaum, I will publish the names of witnesses soon so the world should know about this incredible story.
