"If I Can Figure This Shit Out, Why Can't the Cops?"

We have a special treat for everyone today: A half-hour video about a conspiracy that, unfortunately, really does exist, and it's funding what's happening in South Blooming Grove.

Hey. It’s my Birthday today. So. I am taking the day off.

But don’t worry. I have something good that I want to share with you.

This is a video South Blooming Grove resident Chris Maderia made about where the local hate group gets its money from.

What you have in today’s video is Chris investigating a building in Union, New Jersey, at 601 Lehigh Avenue, and that research which was informed by OPRA requests (New Jersey’s FOIL system), off the record discussions, and publicly available information like the following video:

This video is super important for today’s post.

Why?

Because you can hear Confidential Assistant to the Mayor of South Blooming Grove, Joel Stern, identify himself as COO/CEO of Windsor Global at 1:09:12 in it.

Sadly, Union Township officials, and their attorneys, who appear in the video declined to comment on the record for this story. The most I was able to get from them about Joel Stern and 601 Lehigh Avenue was, “No comment.”

Why does Windsor Global matter?

Windsor Global president, Jacob Gold, is one of the top investors in Keen Equities LLC.

It was the use of this building, 601 Lehigh, and the sale of the building that provided the seed funding for bribing Mayor Kalaj.

This building’s sale is probably also funding the lawsuit against Washingtonville Central School District, and political donations like the ones made to State Senator Skoufis and Congressman Pat Ryan.

This building was owned and operated by Joel Stern and friends. It may still be.

The company where Mr. Stern works reveals that he’s an employee of Keen Equities investor, Jacob Gold. Mr. Y.C. Rubin, whose name appears on documentation provided to the DEC, is also a Windsor Global employee.

So, the really short version is that, Stern and friends sold 601 Lehigh to themselves, and used that money to fund the United Jewish Community of Blooming Grove and the rest of their operations since arriving in South Blooming Grove.

The long story can be found in Chris’s video below. It’s a long watch, so I’ve included the full transcript for those of you who prefer to read rather than watch today’s video.

Full Video Transcript - The Hamburger Operation

What's going on, everybody? Well, I'm Chris. Nice to meet every one of you out there. I'm about to tell you how Mr. Stern here came up here to, I feel, to subvert democracy. We have no say. There's no fundamental fairness here. The [South Blooming Grove] meetings, they're just dog-and-pony shows. They're just to say they had a public meeting or whatever. They already made up their mind what they wanted to do because they've already did it. I'll give you an example. The other night, we had a meeting about the subdivision up there. They pushed it off, but they're up there digging the foundation. So why are we having the meeting? It's just foolish. They just use this to terrorize the residents. That's what they do. They're terrorizing us. So we're going to stop that.

So this is Mr. Joel Stern. And to understand this plot, I call this the Hamburger Operation. So to understand this plot, you have to go and start in 2014, 601 Lehigh Avenue. I should've did this first. So Mr. Stern and Mr. Gold have a business relationship.

For those that don't know who Mr. Gold is, he would be JGSB in the [Keen Equities] bankruptcy. He's the second-largest holder. I think it's 11.6% stake. Don't quote me on that, but it's somewhere in that neighborhood. Mr. Gold is the owner of Windsor Global and Mr. Stern is the CEO. We have him live on videotape on February 24th at the Union Township board meeting under oath so admitting that, among other things that he admitted to there. [See above video in today’s post.]

So there is a relationship between him, Mr. Gold, Mr. Stern. There's no doubt. And the reason I know is because, if you look here, this is the page five from the final [CLOVEWOOD] FIES, if you got the paper, but it's page seven of the PDF. The email address for Keen Equities is ycr@windsorglobal. That's the gentleman that filed everything in the bankruptcy. So he's tied into it, too.

So this is all a scam, all a scam. So they bought this building [601 Lehigh] for $4.5 million from a sheriff's auction. The previous owner went down and it went to, I guess, tax, whatever, foreclosure, but that building sat, best calculations I calculate, four to six years prior. So it was sitting since at least 2010, that building. It's important to know so you understand the condition of the building once it's sold.

So they finally moved in, per Mr. Stern's testimony, sometime in 2015. And at that time, Keen [Equities LLC] was reorganizing. So for six years, they did nothing in that building, nothing. They never applied for their permanent CO, they never pulled a permit. They never did anything legally to make any changes to the building. So the 29th in 2020, I guess, from 2019, they did do another inspection. They had 13 violations, building code violations in Union Township. And then they had a hearing on the 21st, they wanted to apply for a variance. And I posted it. You need to watch it. I know it's two hours. I don't care if you take 10 minutes or 10 days, you should watch it, because it's important. It describes the behavior. This is not about anything other than people's behavior, nothing more, nothing less. [See the Union Township video at the start of today’s post.]

So where was I? In the meeting, they wanted a variance. You could tell in the meeting, especially the board attorney, the zoning board attorney, they weren't buying it. Their lawyer was semi-credible. He had familiarity with the board, so he was okay. The engineer, now, the engineer for this building was only talking about the outside of the building. They had to put in some ADAs, walkways, that part of the building, had nothing to do with the inside of the building. He was probably the most credible witness out of any of them. He went out of his way, he was cordial, he was nice, he was very professional. It was a good testimony from that gentleman.

But then Mr. Stern, as the CEO, whatever, they called an architect up there, and this architect wasn't very credible. If you look at them plans, and you hear what is going on, and you're in the building industry especially, I got to ask you one thing, you watch that and tell me, when the architect goes in there, where are the overhead doors to get all the stuff out? These plans to be making doors, condiments, this, that, tell me how they're getting the material in and out of there because it's nowhere in the floor plan.

Anyway, they [Union Township] weren't buying it, but in a lot of testimony, what they were doing is they found 12 businesses running out of this building with no CO, 12. The hearing got to the point where the town attorney advised the building inspector to go fingerprint everybody so they knew who was in and out of that building because there were reports there were car carriers going in and out of that building for months, for months. I think it might've been for a couple of years because Mr. Mancuso, who was the building official, he referenced something back in 2019 about car carriers. [Mr. Mancuso would not comment on the record for this story.]

So they might've been doing this a long time. They were generating revenue from this. This is their den. This was never a legitimate business. It was on paper maybe, but what was going on there? No way. The testimony in that two-hour video, the testimony listened to the board, the attorney for the Union Township crazy. So they went through the hearing and they gave them another hearing April 7th. Well, between these two time periods, they went in there and they shut them down. It's my understanding, from what I've read, that they would not let the building inspectors in the building. They told them they needed a search warrant. So at that time when that happened, they went and took court action.

Now, I still haven't gotten the court action paperwork back yet, just to see what the outcome was, but they had so many violations. If you are a COO of a company, I don't care, you have your own little private business. Listen to the way that gentleman talks and what he says. It's just not even reasonable. It's not even reasonable. How does a CEO/COO of a company not know to check to make sure that the building's got all the requirements it needs? Come on. If they're doing electronics, how does he not know if they got the right licenses that he needs for disposal, this, that, the other thing? If there's a food thing in there, how does he not know that you need Department of Health? Those are just basic, fundamental things I think most of us have a good idea of, generally, but then we learn more as we get into that business, but I think we all have a practical idea of what it is. [Note: Union Township found numerous building, health, safety, and environmental at 601 Lehigh Avenue over the course of their investigation.]

From Jersey to South Blooming Grove

So that's what they were doing out of this building. They were making money out of this building and they're the ones who were causing all the discontent over here because this is where the money was coming from. But anyway, I digress. So they got shut down and then these guys panicked. They panicked. What are they going to do? They had the [Union] township up their butt. They had to get out of there, right? Told you, there's a Clovewood connection here. So they're panicked. They got to get the hell out of there before somebody knows who's there. That guy said fingerprinting in a board meeting under oath.

So what they did is, well, at least I can tell you it posted. They took a loan on the property and posted August of '21. And it just so happens that Mr. Stern and Mr. Ekstein bought the bank in front of the town hall, or at least that posted in July of '21, for $800,000. And we know that this is Mr. Stern and Mr. Eckstein because of a court case that we'll get into over here where Blooming Grove Realty, BBN Management, John Lieberman sued Rapid Properties LLC, Preferred States LLC, a medical group, Joel Stern and Isaac Eckstein. So we know that. I can connect this.

This is reasonable. This is reasonable enough that somebody needs to look at it. Somebody needs to investigate. That's all we're asking. Somebody needs to investigate and then they need to settle the community down and have some communication because there's a lot of people here worried, and they should be for their families, but where is our help? So I digress. Sorry. I guess I could go slow. It can be as long as I want, right? It depends on how long you guys want to watch it.

So I think they used that money, he took $2 million of it, and he came up here and they bought this building [815 NY-208, Monroe, NY 10950] because he had to get out of here. And I believe also, at that time, they were starting to do their UJC building over here on Merriewold , if I'm not mistaken. I haven't looked at that yet, pull something dates, but I'm pretty sure, in my brain, that time period reflects that. So they were using that money for that. This was their setup money. This was their setup money to get set up up here. This was their setup money, guaranteed.

So then we go over to here. Over here, we were in July, right? We're still in July. On July 29th, Mr. Stern and Mr. Ekstein, but for now, we're just trailing Mr. Stern, was appointed the assistant to the Mayor [of South Blooming Grove to George Kalaj] and Mr. Ekstein was appointed as the legislative aide, roughly a week or so, if you want to go by the date of the sale, but the sale could've been a little earlier, could've been a little bit later. So how's that for apples? How's that for apples? What movie was that in? I forget.

(It’s Good Will Hunting, Chris.)

So now, Mr. Stern and Mr. Ekstein are upon us to tear apart our village. That's how they got here. I can tie them all in. I haven't got to this part yet. Many of you don't know, previously, I mentioned this court case. So on February of 2022, so say July, now we're into February, and you got to remember, we're going into the election, I believe, that year, no, in March, if I'm not mistaken. I could be wrong. Mr. Stern and Mr. Ekstein played a $125,000 game from them, but what did they need $125,000 for? This is a fraud court case. I can go through it. This is the one where they got accused of selling the specimens. I'll post it for everybody. You can read it.

But what do they need it for? I think they used it to fix ... The Union Township was very nice with their record sending. They went to go sell the building [601 Lehigh], July. They got out of there. They got settled up up here now. Now they're settled in. So now they can get rid of the building. And if you go back and listen to the meeting that I told you about, Mr. Mancuso does say that the CO [Certificate of Occupancy] that they have is all they need to sell. They record those meetings, so they know already that they don't have to go to the town for nothing for a CO. They're good to go. They just got to fix the fire violations that they had there. So they put in a new pumping station, I believe they put in a new drywall pipe pumping, and a new control panel.

But also around that time, '22, I could pull it out, they took another loan out for $2.5 million. I've been in the wholesale, HVAC pump, whatever industry for 30 years. I know that that panel, that pump ain't costing $2 million, not for that building. No way. So they had a little slush fund money, I think, left over here. That's what I think. So the building sells for $26 million. Think about this. They paid $4.5M, 2014. Remember, I told you, it sat early as 2010. So we're talking 12 years now.

Now, the only construction or anything that was done legally in that building that we know of is this fire stuff. They did do some illegal stuff, but I'm going to assume that ... They do have pictures. So hopefully, I can get the pictures that the Union Township took because Union Township took pictures. They did interior sheet rock, that type of stuff, but they didn't do nothing mechanical or the outside of the building, nothing. It sat. Letitia James, you're chasing, blowing up loans? Here you go, one right here. And it's actually involved in a crime. How about that?

[I don’t think we can count on New York Attorney General, Letitia James, to investigate what’s happening with Mr. Joel Stern. Just a hunch.]

When Is A Loan, Not a Loan?

So what they do with the $26 million, $26 million, they probably had ... These loans are not loans. You'll find out none of these are bank loans, none of them. These loans aren't generated here in the United States, and we'll get to that at the end. Just remember that. All these names, I follow these LLCs around. There are a lot of LLC ... Stern got caught because he forgot to dissolve his [LLC] and it expired. That's how they got him. He let it expire. And he used a Hamburg Way address, and that's very important, and we'll talk about that, too.

So I'm just trying to give you guys a brief without killing you, killing you. So we got $26 million, and it was supposedly sold by Bay Street Capital, and it [Bay Street Capital] was located at 800 S.Pointe Drive. So if you go look at 800 S.Pointe Drive, you will find it's a condominium complex. Those condominiums start at $6 million, just to give you an idea. But I was wondering, doing some poking around, this is the only guy that they show in their building as far as contact, somebody. He's a real estate broker, coincidentally. And it's a Apogee, South Beach, A-P-O-G-E-E. I'm not saying this gentleman did anything, I'm not. I'm just saying, I'm just putting it together, he's the only person that I can get that's in that building. And it's real estate, real estate, real estate. That's all I'm saying. Common sense. Follow the bouncing ball.

So where did the $26 million go? I'm going to tell you where the $26 million went, as soon as I find it. What did I do with that? Hold on, I got to find it. Well, anyway, Mr. Gold, he uses the same address for his LLCs as the JGBS and the bankruptcy, exact same address. Mr. Gold has five companies at 601 Lehigh. There's five separate companies. One of them is tied to both his family's trust, and I believe it's his brother's family's trust. I won't say that one out loud, but there's a trust. And the funny thing is, if you look at the sale on this building, it says it was done by an heir. It was an heir sale. So what I believe is the money from the trust bought the property because the property is 601 Lehigh Avenue now, and it's just the only information you can find is registered to just an address, but I think they bought it back for themselves. That's what I think.

But where did this money go? Well, if you follow what I was saying about Mr. Stern used Hamburg as his address, and if you go back to that video, one of the questions they asked that architect is, "Where are you're from?" And he says, "Hamburg, New Jersey." So we researched him out, he doesn't exist, Hamburg. And then I started thinking about the address, and I looked it up, and I pulled the whole thing from the whole building of Hamburg Way, and you know who lives in Hamburg way, or I shouldn't say live, but owns a property? The deputy mayor, Mr. Weissman. And there's a lot of other names of people in there that are connected to these people in there.

I believe that $26 million was parked here and they are Fort Worth Holdings because the money's parked, because this money is going this way, it's not going this way. This money, this is what caused all the headache at Clovewood. This is where they got all the money to give the DEC their headache, all that. That's where it came from. You know how I know? Because right here, in November, '22, after the mayor thing, Golden Bridge LLC gave a loan for $3.5 million. I think that's what they're using for this side. That's what's being used for the UJC? That's what I think it is. That's what's funding the UJC, that's with Stern, and then they're using that money into government, as well.

That's what I think. Now, that's me. It's reasonable, too, if you think about it. That's what I think. And then you're going to wonder, "Who's Golden Bridge? How the hell you know that?" Ah, pretty simple. You search court cases are the best way to get information, even if you find little nuggets in cases, and then you read a million of them, and then you see the pattern, and you develop the behavior. Well, I did some stuff on Golden Bridge here. Let me pull it so I can read it.

So this is according to the district court in New York, US District Court. Plaintiff Golden Bridge is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and its members are citizens of Israel. I just wanted to make that clear. So Golden Bridge isn't a bank, is what I'm trying to say. It's not a bank or anything, it's just a group of private people, which is cool if you're doing things right. I don't give a shit, but that's who they are.

In another case, I got a couple people's names, Golden Bridge and another district court case, and it's pretty crazy. So this money, $3.5M, I believe came from across the pond and made its way this way, and then I think it went out that way, the $3.5M that way, because they already have the kitty for this. They got $26 million parked. The UJC, that's what I think. That's what the UJC did to fund all the stuff they're doing. That's where it came from.

Now, this part, I do think that it's overseas money. I got more, I got more. So there's a gentleman also in the building. I found another employee. It is not Jim Steinhertz, but after doing a lot of digging, I finally found an LLC for Moshes Frum/Freud, 601 Lehigh. He was the name under Enterprise Realty Associates. So technically, he was the building owner. That's who took the loan, got the $26 million, Enterprise Realty Associates.

But you know what's interesting about this guy? November of '22, remember, I told you the Golden Bridge, November of '22? I pulled a, I don't know much if you all know about, but the US banking system has a thing now, the government does, that sends when the people are changing their license or broker. Moshe Freud/Frum, this gentleman, put his license in ABA Realty, or ABA, which is out of Bakerstown Road. What's funny is, on the same month Mu Chen started hers with Golden Bridge. And now, this guy is Moshes Frum. He works for A-Star over on Bakerstown Road.

So I think there's a little illegal money transmitting business going on here. It's a whole thing. If I can figure this shit out, why can't the cops? That's all I got to say.

Somebody's got to look at this. This guy's [Stern] got to go. You're subverting democracy here. We have no rights. We lost our rights, our right to anything here. Somebody's got to do something. Well, I hope you all enjoy. Leave some comments. If you guys want to hear more, let me know.

Peace.
