Haredi businessman Eli Weinstein, awaiting his verdict in custody in New Jersey, applied for leave of Rosh Hashanah.

Weinstein, a Lakewood resident, filed on Monday through his attorney the bail for the holidays.

Lawyer Andrew Kraizman says: "Following a plea bargain, Weinstein admitted at the accusations. According to the deal, Eli was scheduled to be released on bail, and no legal claim received after the date of signature transaction charged will not be accepted., But the court began considering further legal action filed by a person in New Zealand. Due to the additional lawsuit Court overturned the promise to release Weinstein on bail. His non release does not allow him to prove him right."

Additional lawsuit accused Weinstein and his partners, Alex Schleider and Aaron Muskal that they lured an investor from New Zealand with the promise they have "special access" to Facebook shares, a stock market flotation everyone desires. The man trusted them with the amount of $ 6.7 million.

Weinstein used the funds to finance the legal expenses, personal needs and donations to institutions of Torah in Lakewood.

Weinstein, a generous contributor to learning Torah institutions in Israel and the U.S., is currently waiting for his verdict in which related activities between 2005 and 2010.

He admitted fraud and money laundering, the order of about $ 200 million when the victims were mainly Jews and Israelis. The largest amount was Harvey and Shinichi from California, who lost to Weinstein 80 million.

Weinstein grew up in Israel, studied at a yeshiva in Jerusalem, married and lives in Har Nof, and began to engage in trade in Israel. Then he moved to the U.S., settled in New Jersey and began working in real estate.

Attorney Kraizman said: "I do not believe he will be released Rosh Hashana since I submitted the application on Monday this week, and the paperwork and bureaucracy works slowly, but I hope to release him on bail for the rest of the holidays. In Eli's prison there are almost no Jews but he is in a good mood and he gets kosher food.
