Sheldon Silver’s son-in-law arrested, accused of defrauding investors with $7M Ponzi scheme
Yet more tarnish has befallen the Silver name.
Indicted former Assembly speaker Sheldon Silver’s son-in-law was arrested and charged Monday with running a $7 million Ponzi scam.
Marcello Trebitsch, 37, of Brooklyn, who is married to Silver’s daughter, Michelle Trebitsch, was busted on federal wire fraud and securities charges.
Trebitsch’s arrest comes less than three months after Silver was indicted on federal corruption charges stemming from his alleged solicitation of $4 million in bribes and kickbacks.
