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.
