Con accused in scamming work release program company
Old habits apparently die hard.
A former World Trade Center currency trader convicted of conning his clients out of $110 million is now accused of scamming the company that gave him a job as part of his work release program.
The owners of the Ahava ambulette service in Brooklyn said they gave Gary Farber an office job in 2007 so he could "start a new life" and he repaid them by starting a competing company that used the Ahava's ambulettes on the sly, according to their civil suit.
They said Farber even named his company Akiva, which is similar to Ahava's name. Farber, also known as Gary Farberov, was president of First Equity Enterprises, which was headquartered in the World Trade Center, and was a trading arm of Evergreen International Spot Trading. He was convicted in 2001.
