This content discusses the alleged use of personal spending by former employees, Lori Zeno and Rashad Ruhani, of the Queens Defenders legal aid group, to fund a luxurious penthouse in Bali, as well as their related fraud. The story emerged following the seisin of the group’s founder, Lori Zeno, and the上市 of she as the defendant.
The(tolled amount, at least $60,000, was claimed through business expenses or personal spending, which were then used for a costly penthouse in Bali, along with eating out at $2,000 restaurant meals. The duo also prepaid for religiousDiety dinners, including a summer-end dinner to/de寒Diety and other trips.
The case was alleged to involve wire fraud, theft, and money laundering, according to the Brooklyn federal court indictment, which states that Lori and Rashad “corruptly diverted tens of thousands of dollars solely from the Queens Defenders to personally enrich themselves and others.” The third party’s account includes claims of web-Scam and email addresses, likely linked to their true identities.
Zeno, who was sackled after the seisin, was suspended from the legal group in January, while Rashid remained at large. His absence left the Queens Defenders in a precarious position, as he, too, was caught.
The duo’s fraudulent activities began around the same time as Zeno transitioned to another position and Ruhani was made vice president. Zeno was reported to have leased a $6,000-a-month penthouse apartment in 2024, living with Ruhani, with details of their lived situation remain unknown to the organization.
The diagnosis asserted their fraudulent scheme began in July 2024, with a small expense of $600 for teeth whitening proven in court. The duo’s expenses included trips to Bali, a Santa Monica resort, and a blowout dinner at a “high-end steakhouse,” along with a surging expense of nearly $4,000 for dinner and rowing. Additional expenses included luxury shopping totaling $10,900.
The翅urs from their bill included $3,300 toward an 85-inch smart television and accessories. The CIA’s Department of Investigation and federal agent are silent on the matter, and a message sent to Ruhani’s attorney was not answered. The duo’s only confession is that they “will see what happens now” to Queens Defenders, following some remarks about their exit from the organization and their retirement Idolizing Bali.
Despite the alleged violations, Zeno is still being held, though she has offered peace of mind, expressed in a message to the Queens Eagle, stating she hopes to return to Bali without further distraction. The duo is辛勤, whom Zeno and Ruhani claim manipulated through fraud and unethical practices.
