The FBI is investigating a fraud scheme perpetrated by a Chinese bank that allegedly bilked a Manhattan Supreme Court judge out of 1 million dollars.
Justice Lori Sattler was involved in a high dollar property purchase, so when she received an email from her real estate lawyer asking her to transfer 1 million dollars overseas, she confirmed the transfer and sent the money.
Unfortunately for the Justice, the bogus email was not from her real estate lawyer and now law enforcement officials are trying to track down the con artists who made off with her money.
