    In 2004, he agreed to pay back some $700,000 in federal grants earmarked for disabled preschoolers. So prosecutors in Manhattan's Southern District agreed not to prosecute.

    "The government had to back off. And it wasn't that much that I paid back," Balkany said Thursday night.

    I completely agree but there seems to be non written rule that if you are Jewish you are OK regardless.

    Reminds me of a story how when I was a little kid and they had some ceremony with a priest, christening or something like that. And priest was giving me some traditional advice like "be good, don't lie, honor god" etc etc

    And I am told I stood up and asked dumbfounded "Why ?" and someone said because priest it telling you.

    And I asked again "Why ?"

    Somehow I knew being man of clothing means nothing :)
