Dwek smeared Oxley, Kyrillos and Handlin
Swarmy swindler Solomon Dwek told federal investigators in 2006 that Joe Oxley, Joe Kyrillos and Amy Handlin were in his pocket, according to a Star Ledger report posted on NJ.com Monday night.
Dwek’s claims became public in an FBI report prepared in August of 2006 that was recently released after former Hudson County Assemblyman Louis Manzo unsuccessfully sued the U. S Attorney’s office to recover $100,000 in legal fees that resulted from his July 2009 Operation Bid Rig arrest. Manzo had been indicted twice in the Bid Rig III scandal but all charges against him were eventually dismissed, according to Bob Ingle and Michael Symons writing in their just released biography of Chris Christie.
Dwek alleged that Oxley, while Monmouth County Sheriff, tipped him off about upcoming foreclosures two weeks before the information became public, thereby giving Dwek an advantage in purchasing the properties before the foreclosure auctions. The FBI’s subsequent investigation of Oxley found no wrong doing.
Oxley is the Monmouth County GOP Chairman until Tuesday evening. He has been nominated by Governor Chris Christie to be a Superior Court Judge. Christie was U.S. Attorney during the investigation of Oxley.
The Star Ledger:
Christie spokesman Michael Drewniak said “we won’t be commenting while (Oxley’s) nomination is pending before the judiciary committee” and would not say if Christie had been aware of Dwek’s allegations.
State Sen. Nicholas Scutari (D-Union), who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee that will decide if Oxley’s nomination advances, said “they’re certainly some bad allegations” that his panel will investigate. “You have to be held to a higher standard as a judge. You’ve got “to be beyond reproach,” said Scutari. “I’m not going to jump all over the Oxley nomination yet, but I will say that this guy’s allegations are concerning.”
Oxley was to have received $28,000 in campaign contributions in exchange for the foreclosure tips, according Dwek. NJ ELEC reports indicate Dwek and his wife donated a combined $3600 to Oxley’s campaign in 2000 and no money thereafter, according to the Star Ledger.
Dwek also claimed that he met with and got political favors from state Senator Joe Kyrillos, the NJ GP nominee for U.S. Senate and that he gave Assemblywoman Amy Hanlin $10,000 worth of raffle tickets to a Deal Yeshiva event.
Kryillos and Handlin both strongly denied the allegations. Oxley did not respond to requests for comment.
Dwek became a federal informant after his 2006 for swindling PNC Bank out of $50 million by passing bad checks. He wore a wire during the Bid Rig III sting operation that lead to 46 arrests in July of 2009. He has been accused of lying to the FBI several times. His $10 million bail was revoked by U.S. District Judge Jose Linares who said Dwek “has proven to be a consummate defrauder and cunning liar.”

The race is officially over. Bob Menendez gets another term, and the NJ GOP gets egg on its face (again!) for picking another weak liberal candidate who they declined to properly vet.
Anyone who believes the swindler, kidney stealing, crook Dwek, is clearly not a good judge of character. Let’s get real!
Dwek is a full out fledged criminal, a bottom feeder who would stop at nothing to get something for himself at any cost! This loser took kidneys from poor to sell for big bucks to families whose loved ones were on the brink of death. This fool is not human.
Sorry, sane people will never believe a word from this loser Dwek. The people are smarter than to believe this trash talk from a prisoner, criminal, trying to get out of going to jail at any cost. It’s evident how low he’ll go. Menendez is another loser.
Amy Handlin? That allegation is not even remotely believable. Throws doubt on every allegation he makes. And did you ever try to get ten words out of Joe Oxely.. He is the most closed mouth guy alive. Can’t picture him sending tips to Dwek. Oh and buy the way, politicians do political favors sometimes it is referred to as constituent services. Its kinda of in the job description. Its only illegal if there is an explicit quid pro quo
Dwek alleged that Oxley, while Monmouth County Sheriff, tipped him off about upcoming foreclosures two weeks before the information became public, thereby giving Dwek an advantage in purchasing the properties before the foreclosure auctions.
That information is publicly available on a county website associated with the Sheriff’s Department. You can track all proceedings since the first notice the bank is sending, almost a year before foreclosure happens. There’s an entire “industry” based on digging up that information in order to negotiate short sales before foreclosure.
[…] a greater service to the county that he loves. The obviously politically timed release of Solomon Dwek’s 2006 allegations against Oxley, allegations that had been released two years ago, albeit with less detail, will make […]
Joe Oxley has served this County well. This is another unfortunate attack by the liberal media.
