I was in the real estate business and I
had a house, three houses on one block
on South 8th Street in Williamsburg.
Middle of the morning, about 2:00 in the
morning, very cold and my phone rings.
It's an adjuster. He says, "I heard on
my scanner that your building is burning
very bad. It's a three alarm fire
already. maybe I could represent you to
be your adjuster. I said, I don't know.
And I rushed and I went down to the
fire.
In the time being, the whole building
burned down and one of the tenants
recognized me and they started screaming
and everybody was running after me. They
wanted to kill me with knives. The
police stopped me and they said, "Go
into my car." And they took me away two
blocks.
And all of a sudden the fire marshall
came over there and it says come with
me. People said that you were here two
hours before the fire and you made a
fire over here and you ran away and you
came back now and you're under arrest. I
says I wasn't here. I said not true. So
I'm sorry there is witness.
Satma got a very big lawyer who
represent the mafia big guy and he
represented me. After I got out, I went
straight to the rim on 15th Avenue and I
told the Reb what happened. The rebish,
don't worry. I'm going to talk to the
Slesh angel of fire. I'm going to talk
to him and I'm going to straighten it
out with you. Don't worry, everything
will be okay. I go in the morning the
next day to the lawyer and he says to
me, "Listen, this case is a lost case. I
spoke to the DA and he told me there is
a lot of witnesses against you which
they saw you don't tell me stories that
you weren't there between 25 to 30 years
and they also taking in consideration
for a second degree manslaughter so it's
not true you could scream till tomorrow
but this is it
but you know I I have a rabbi and he
said that stop with your rabbis you see
them you're sick people, crazy fanatic
people. Don't start with this because
I'm not going to take the case at all. I
don't want to take the case. You're
playing here with fire. The lawyer says,
I worked out that deal. 5 years prison.
Settle for 5 years. Take it. I says,
Bernie, I can't take it without talking
about again. You're sick. Who is your
lawyer? You a rabbi or me? I'm telling
you, you have a good offer. I worked it
out. I says listen I can't do it without
my go back to the limit and I say the
lawyer says that instead of 2530 which I
could
