This grand mansion belongs to Chaim Citronenbaum who recently pleaded guilty to orchestrating a financial fraud in which he illegally made $1.68 million. He faces between 46 and 57 months in prison and $3.2 million in fines when sentenced July 30. He also must forfeit $1.6 million as part of his plea. Citronenbaum pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to two federal counts: conspiracy to commit mail fraud and to defraud the Internal Revenue Service, and mail fraud.
The mansion sits on a culdesac at the end of Jay Ct and is monstrous compared to surrounding homes. It features an astounding 15 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms.

It seems like people want to stuff as much opulense and bling into their homes as they can. Sometimes it seems like these people are dilusional, thinking that their home is an actual palace where the king lives. It's not. You'd think that in a time when the economy is slumping, that people wouldn't decorate their homes like this.
The outside is fantastic though!!
With all that money to burn, he still had to rig up an boxy indoor A/C in his kitchen nook and then run a pipe to the nearest window.
Serves him right.
That man is a gonif and has been in the courts so many times making a chilul Hashem with his business ginavos etc.
He brought it all on himself. He and his wife did everything they could to show off constantly. Who in their right mind would build a house like they did?! Just to take everyones eyes out!
When you make your money with ginavisheh shtick, eventually it catches up with you.
The chilul Hashem is disgusting. Let them walk around in Monsey now shamed.
Any money they may have given to tzedakah was from ill gotten and stolen money. There is no mitzvah in that.
Shame on them both, but everything comes around.
This guy is a crook and built this home with money he stole. I can ont believe he only got 3 yrs in prison.
