Men create scam to raise, swipe cash for 9/11 families

TOMS RIVER, N.J. - Two Jersey Shore men admitted guilt Monday in a scheme in which they stole thousands of dollars in donations by falsely claiming they were raising money to help families of those who died in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.

Mark Niemczyk, 67, of Tinton Falls, N.J., pleaded guilty to third-degree theft by deception, and Thomas Scalgione, 41, of Stafford, N.J., pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit third-degree theft by deception.

The guilty pleas, entered before state Superior Court Judge James M. Blaney, were related to their activities selling T-shirts and making appearances in a pickup truck custom-painted with Sept. 11 themes.

An earlier civil proceeding...more

Here is the RT America video on the scandal (intro is a little long...sorry):

Here is Scalgione's "Like" page on Facebook. Seems to have a conflicting attraction to Glenn Beck, Hannity, Freedom Works and gay rights.
