The Scotsman reports:
A federal appeals court ruled that Bank of America Corp. , HSBC Holdings Plc and Sterling Bancorp must defend against a lawsuit related to a lawyer’s Ponzi scheme that defrauded Orthodox Jews and others out of millions of dollars.…
The case involved David Schick, a Brooklyn, New York, real estate lawyer who in the early 1990s convinced investors that he had devised a “no-risk” scheme to generate high returns by bidding on and subsequently selling pools of mortgages.
According to the appeals court, investors would advance funds to Schick, who would then claim to deposit them in escrow accounts at Fleet Bank, now part of Bank of America; Republic National Bank, now part of HSBC; and Sterling National Bank.
Instead, the court said Schick raided the accounts, stealing $82 million before his fraud was discovered.
Investors claimed that the banks were liable because they failed to report overdrafts on Schick’s accounts to a state bar committee overseeing client funds, even though he repeatedly bounced checks.…Schick, who was well known in New York’s Orthodox Jewish community, in 1997 pleaded guilty to criminal charges in connection with his scheme.
Now 46, Schick is scheduled to be released from a federal prison in Otisville, New York, in November 2011, a spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Prisons said.
I believe David Schick is Marvin Schick’s nephew. Is he the son of the man who sparked the Boro Park riot?

For the record, yes, Dovid Schicksa is the son of Arthur Schick. The apple fell far from the tree – it happens. Yitzchok Avinu had a son named Esav.
Marvin Schick’s brother did not spark any riots. He merely, rightly or perhaps wrongly, was arrested for disorderly conduct.
Nobody has even allleged that he encouraged any person to riot. Indeed. it is unlikely that he even knew about the “riots” since he was presumably in police custody at that time.
