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
