Massive Fraud Relating To New York City’s CityTime Project Involved Use Of Shell Corporations And False Timesheets
PREET BHARARA, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and ROSE GILL HEARN, the Commissioner of the New York City Department of Investigation ("DOI"), announced today charges against four consultants to the New York City Office of Payroll Administration ("OPA") –- MARK MAZER, DMITRY ARONSHTEIN, VICTOR NATANZON, and SCOTT BERGER –- for operating a fraudulent scheme that led to the misappropriation of more than $80 million in New York City funds allocated for an information technology project known as "CityTime." MAZER, ARONSHTEIN, and NATANZON are also charged -- along with MARK MAZER’s wife, SVETLANA MAZER, and his mother, LARISA MEDZON -- with using a network of shell corporations to launder the proceeds of the fraud. Each of the defendants was arrested this morning. They are expected to be presented in Manhattan federal court later today.
