Solomon Dwek, the informant behind the largest FBI sting operation in New Jersey history, was sentenced Thursday to six years in prison in an unrelated scheme, the Star-Ledger reports.
Dwek was facing up to 11 years but received a sentence reduction in exchange for helping in “one of the most far-reaching, and at times bizarre, undercover stings ever seen,” the Star-Ledger reported.
Using hidden surveillance, Dwek helped target politicians, rabbis and even a black market kidney broker.
Dwek was accused of running a $400 million real estate Ponzi scheme.
