Swingin’ couple steals millions from New York banks, DA says
A Brooklyn couple stole millions of dollars from New York banks to buy a cabin to rent out as a swinger’s club and hunting lodge, according to Patch.
Johan Iacono, 46, and Shpresa Gjekovic, 32, have been accused by the state Attorney General’s Office of defrauding more than $1.3 million from banks to buy the cabin, which they later rented out on Airbnb, Patch said. They told guests that the proceeds would go to charity.
Iacono and Gjekovic used fake pay stubs, tax returns and forged cashier’s checks to apply for multiple loans in 2016 and 2017, prosecutors said. They also allegedly used $125,000 in counterfeit checks to buy the cabin in Schoharie County, Patch reported.
