#NewYork #Bribery #Housing
Who owns the buildings? Will the company/person actually in charge go to jail or just the subordinates?
The people of NYC, through the NYC Housing Authority, own the buildings. The NYCHA is the worst slumlord in the city. Lisa Bova-Hiatt, CEO of the NYCHA, and her cronies won’t be investigated, let alone prosecuted.
SHAMELESS
Grifting, scamming, lying etc is normal American snake culture. White, black, up down, left, right.
Garbage culture is the normal way in the United States
What’s the prob ? Donny T 🍊 has been doing this for decades !
Democrat Utopia…. creating and y’all force systemic problems they create and enforce
This is exactly what happens when individuals become money hungry…
They should make a family sitcom about this; DY-NO-MITE!!!!
Corny! Mr Corn Ball!
When you going after biden?
Oh look, A Magic Trick.
This is Something that could have been Cracked Down on Years Ago…. why Now is this a Thing??
Perhaps the agenda is to sway opinion or public interest. NY is a Failed City Anyway, but we don’t want you to notice. Flushing away in a Doom Loop. I hope that Sanctuary City gets enough immigrants to make English a Secondary Language. Liberals are Racist to say otherwise…. they should move to NY to help out the Sanctuary Needs.
It’s hard to be good nowadays
Remember when Eric Adams said New York has a brand?
Ever see so much Chocolate?
Isn’t New York a DemocRAT run city and state? If these guys are doing it then it’s happening in other government run agencies too. The democRAT way of life.
And everything is ideal in republican states? I feel sorry for you. You redirected your anger from your miserable life to politics. Educate yourself. You are so ignorant.
Vicki there didn’t get the room temperature she’s quite deep in the 3rd stage lol
Trump 2024!!!🇺🇸
WOW ! LAW ENFORCEMENT ARRESTING CRIMINALS, INSTEAD OF PROTECTING CRIMINALS? WOW WHAT A NOVEL IDEA😂
Sounds like the biden administration
SUSPECTS SO DIVERSE! WOW! DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH!
Wow.
Folks wonder why cant i??? biden does it and gets away why not everyone our government runs on these bribe schemes but no one is caught. Only if name Trump.
Total B.S.
You know the rich and the poor dont pay income taxes. The only ones stupid enough to is the middle class. That tax bill will increase it has to you are the only dumb a**es that will pay. 😊
When is LA’s turn?
70 arrested for bribes? And lemme guess – all released without bail?
90% housing authorities take money and gold future tenants who want expedite process
It’s okay when politicians do it.. but God forbid anyone else does..
i think maybe they’re in business to somebody connected.
I am not the *LEAST* bit surprised. Not even a microscopic smidgen. HUMANITY IS SUPER CLASSY. Very, very classy. Accept it. #Copium
Stay classy, humanity.
Stop complaining. So what ?. Illegals are making free money too. Allow them to make money
The illegals aren’t the ones taking the bribes…pay attention.
Imagine that. Blacks holding sway on other blacks condition of living. Absolute shocker. Thats sarcasm
Sounds like a rico case.
Well at least they are a diverse group of criminals.
They need to investigate Queens Bridge houses they are selling the free stuff that are being sponsored making elderly nycha residents pay for it also the community centers an soo called economical growth centers they have in area are getting checks an not doing nothing for community all the workers are private an secretively sneaky an doesn’t answer any questions when you ask
shocker mostly black lol
Dumb dumb
Oh yeahhhhh…..let’s go Mr DA….
Folks charged say “but this is how we do it in new york.”
Oh wow! Look at that, they all have one thing in common!
If you know what that is…better keep it to yourself! Noticing something like that is against YouTube “community standards”!
Because it’s “hateful” or “hate speech” to notice and point out a pattern.
CITY GOTTA BE TAKING BRIBES AS WELL: to many Citi Bikes popping up in Neighborhoods that have No Space for them 🤔
That is horrible but how do we actually go after the real criminals the left and the illegal immigrants invader criminals!
they stole money from NY’s poorest let’s see if the punishment is worthy of the crime
Corruption in NYC?? Noooo. Say it ain’t so.
Typical labor union run criminal enterprise.
Your tax dollars at work ladies and gents.
THIS IS EVERY SINGLE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE IN NEW YORK. THEY ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOU. THIS IS EVERY SINGLE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE IN AMERICA. THEY ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF US
It is an organization, not the actual government who has failed the people.
yet they miss federal officials
Well, 70+ new NYCHA positions just opened up.
I guess, someone did not got his/her share.
NYC is a marxist cespool.
This is very interesting especially with NYC having a housing issue with illegal immigrants. 300,000 people affected – thats alot. What brought this to the surface and what consequences are going to unfold now?
Now go after the MTA and follow the money!
Corruption is NYC????? Dealing with state housing???? No that cant be🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 these people are all the best in the country all they wanna do is help🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. These are all fine upstanding citizens 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aww. Democrats
Pattern recognition is racist
Ill gotten gains is not worth it
No wonder I couldn’t win the housing lottery despite a preferred application. Any lawyers want to help me sue the city?
Good thing our federal tax dollars going towards corruption snd migrants
They’re all black.
Pay to Play? That’s a familiar term..
Like we didn’t know this was going on lol
Good morning, Trump Trump Trump 2024!
NYC is corrupt top to bottom.
Many property managers in NYC engage in unethical practices. They only work with contractors who pay them kickbacks, and they blacklist those who don’t. This makes it very hard for honest companies to survive in the market. I have experienced this myself. I have had checks delayed, proposals ignored, and contracts terminated for not giving in to the extortion. I think the authorities should crack down on these management companies and hold them accountable. That’s why I decided to educate building boards and owners on how to prevent property managers from taking advantage of them.
more corrupt democrats, go figure!!
Democrats.
Trust me it starts with the politicians
What about insider trading for politicians and using tax payers money to give illegals?
This is our trusted government working against the people. And ten years? This goes much deeper.
Good. Now look into lobbyists.
👀
WHAT ABOUT INVESTIGATING SENIOR APARTMENTS IN TEXAS/LOUISIANA/DETROIT/ARKANSAS/CHICAGO/NEW YORK AND HOUSING PROJECTS APARTMENTS FOR MOLD MOLD MOLD AND CONSPIRACIES WTH CORRUPTION?
I hope cash jordan does a review video of this corruption.
Sooo how much is the salary? Cause i think they have some job openings
Take the money and run…………..to Florida.
The Big-Guy gets 10% , So why not everyone Else ?
😂 NOOOOO SHIIIIIII*!! Gee I wonder what political party they’re loyal too.
Anyone else wondering how many hundreds or thousands of these scams are being run by government officials throughout the nation? It’s a sobering thought.
Are we ever going to realize that the housing crisis IS AN ACTUAL CRISIS!!!!! Like my generation will never be able to buy a home thanks to boomers and people like this.
Follow the money and I’ll bet it leads right back to Adams and hockul . NY needs to go . I pray every day .
SF next
Corrupt NYC Liberals..say it ain’t so…. 🤡
Tip of the iceberg and it’s not even substantial. Still just picking on people who are suffering. All these fishies playing tag in my ocean.
Bribery is legal, just ask the Bidens
How most government work is done across the entire country in every industry. 😂
Omg!!!!!🤬🤬🤬
Typical Democrats. Smh.
Are they all black ? Haha
Mr Roper, please call your office
New York might flip Red! Trump 2024!
2M / 70 comes to about 30K per person to now lose their jobs. Such little money. people are duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumb.
When Popeye’s Chicken 🍗 or McDonald’s 🍔 🍟 have better Supervisors than New York City NYCHA (housing) ! That’s embarrassing 🤔💭
Democrat business as usual.
We have illegal immigrants right now in hotels. And they’re worried about that.
If your landlord can’t pay the bills without your rent check, *you are the one providing housing to your landlord.*
They all vote Democrat and watch MSNBC 😂
That’s why NYC is the rectum of our nation!
Immigrants run nyc that state is bad so a retired veteran gets kicked out for filthy illegal Immigrants.
70 people too many someone will talk too much
Democrats doing democrat behavior…
There must be an election coming soon.
get pelosi next
