Isaac Franco is a prominent Brooklyn-based businessman and high-profile executive within the Syrian Jewish community of New York and New Jersey. As principal of I. Franco & Co. and a key figure in the Franco Manufacturing dynasty—a cornerstone of the Sephardic business world—he has spent decades in the global apparel and textile import markets, specializing in children's wear, home textiles, and licensed consumer goods. His operations involve importing and manufacturing, with sourcing likely from Asia, and extend into real-estate-backed lending, private equity, and international trade through a network of family-held entities and limited liability companies. Franco's influence spans the garment district's import landscape and financial spheres in Monmouth County and Brooklyn, marked by deep-rooted community ties and a strategic approach to domestic asset management. He became notably involved in financial disputes within the tight-knit Syrian Jewish community, emerging as a major creditor in the 2006 bankruptcy proceedings of real estate developer Solomon Dwek, who filed for Chapter 11 protection amid allegations of real estate fraud, money laundering, and an attempted $50 million fraud against PNC Bank. Franco filed claims exceeding $1 million—reportedly over $30 million—for substantial amounts owed from joint 'handshake' investment deals and real estate ventures. The case highlighted networks of influence in Orthodox Jewish business circles and led to complex litigation in subsequent years, including accusations of illegal property transfers to shell companies to shield assets from creditors like Franco, as well as involvement in creditor rights and business dissolutions. Dwek later served as an FBI informant in Operation Big Rig, exposing corruption among rabbis and politicians, though Franco himself was not implicated in those crimes. Limited public records exist on Franco's personal life.
