Brooklyn Rabbi released following sentence in illegal organ trade
A man who prosecutors said styled himself as “the Robin Hood of kidneys” is out of prison after being the first person convicted in federal court of profiting from the illegal sale of human organs.
Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, an Israeli citizen, won’t be deported because federal immigration officials found that his crime was not one of “moral turpitude” that would have subjected him to being kicked out of the U.S., lawyer Edward Schulman said.
“It illustrates the intersection between legality and morality,” Shulman said.
