About
Moshe “Michael” Altman is a New Jersey real estate developer based in Union City, Hudson County, and a key figure in the Operation Bid Rig corruption case. He was convicted of money laundering as a co-conspirator and primary business partner in New Jersey operations, and was a close associate in the scheme. Altman utilized a fund, specifically a gemach, to convert checks into cash for political bribes and launder funds for bribes. His associate, Haber, acted as the 'front-man' for Altman, vetting potential laundering clients like Solomon Dwek before introducing them into Altman’s inner circle.
