Brooklyn Black-Market Kidney Broker Pleads Guilty To Selling Israeli Organs To Desperate Americans

[Purveyor]

A Brooklyn man became the first person in the U.S. convicted of organ-trafficking when he pleaded guilty Thursday to selling black-market kidneys at a huge markup.

Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, 60, admitted to brokering just three transplants, but he boasted on tape that he actually handled "quite a lot" during the decade-long scheme.

His lawyers portrayed him as an altruistic middleman who helped save lives.

And in Trenton federal court, Rosenbaum described one case like this: "The son told me the father has kidney failure ... I helped him."
