A New Jersey attorney was arrested Monday for stealing $240,000 from a woman who was trying to sell her dead sister’s property in Brooklyn, prosecutors said.
Antoni Moszczynski, 67, repped the woman in the sale of her Leonard St. property in Greenpoint for $2.395 million in December 2019, but when she received more than $230,000 from the buyer as a down payment, Moszczynski put it into his escrow account, prosecutors said.
The attorney then transferred $210,000 to his own bank account and spent all the cash within three months, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office.

2 men charged in connection with the fatal shooting of a 1-year-old boy in New York
Two men were charged Thursday in the connection with the fatal shooting of a 1-year-old boy in New York City last year, according to a news release from the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office.
The baby, identified as Davell Gardner, was killed last July on the sidewalk in front of Brooklyn’s Raymond Bush Playground.
Less than a year after that shooting, Dashawn Austin, 25, and Akeem Artis, 24, were arrested and charged in connection with the shooting and Davell’s death. Both men are members of a local street gang called the Hoolies and the violence was motivated by gang rivalry and retaliation, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez’s office.
