Convert him; consider it a mitzvah. He is a criminal yes, but how many gentiles have the fortunate desire to fall in love with the dearest true G-d? Convert him now. What does the Torah say? Didn't Hashem allow for criminals to hide in remote towns to remove the stigma and shame in starting over?

this story is old- he turned out to be a ger tzedek and really was starting a new life.. he didnt do any fraud other than get a passport under his new jewish name--this is a fed crime in the states...but he was NOT running from the feds- if u look in the phonebook he has both names listed with the same # at the same address. if the feds wanted him they could go to his door

He is a prodigy,the community should help him and convert him. Sharp clever witty.They saw it as a mitzvah to help him once.So now they can do a greater mitzvah,and help him again.

according to Lakewood sources and all Jewish websites. He fooled the Lakewood community for six years. Here's more accurate and additional facts: http://www.vosizneias.com/2008/03/lakewood-nj-shock-con-man-faking-as.html

that Hashem said to run to arei-miklat (remote towns) but those who ACCIDENTALLY killed someone. Criminals with witnesses and warning were killed!

... and intelligence agents because they were Jews. Had they accepted them, the Iraq war would look completely different today - after all it's the trans-cultural ignorance of Americans that is at the root of their inability to have victory there.

If found he is found guilty by the US, the US should let him serve his sentence in Israel where his talents of pretending to be who he is not can be better appreciated the chosen ones.

Absolutely childish sensationalist reporting. Are you not aware that he has been proven without a doubt to be 100% Jewish? That a known orthodox-rabbi has spoken this evening on Zev Brenner (Talkline Communications) saying that he converted "al pi hlacha". What kind of reporting is this?

...he could have escaped and joined SHAS if he'd escaped during his transfer to jail....

he should go and join the Shas party that includes convicted criminals for fraud and corruption, even today we have a fresh conviction in the form of Mr Morals himself Benizri !

Why did he choose the Jews??

he's been charged with crimes, not convicted. in america we're innocennt until proven guilty.

Like the 100's of thousands of Russian Goyim you polluted Israel with..... Who are thse suckers now?

for not checking his credentials

While the basic premise of your story is true, most of the details are wrong! Check your facts!

He's wanted for fraud. He is being religious as part of his act, and he's good at it because he's a con artist. First let him answer for and pay for his crimes. If he's sincere about the religion, he'll have plenty of time to convert, study, etc. (Don't hold your breath...)

Al why don't you make aliyah before you insult our Russian immigrants. For your information there have been 1.5 million Russian immigrants. 70% of those are Jewish. My wife is an immigrant from Ukraine(Jewish mother). I appreciate a Russian immigrant serving in the I.D.F. alot more than a Jew like you hiding in the diaspora!

According to a more recent report, he and his wife underwent an orthodox conversion in Wichita, Kansas in 2002, performed by Rabbi Pinhas Aloof. He is as jewish as any other jew, a "ger zedek"

Orthodox. http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/General+News/16236/The+Ted+Riley,+Natan+Levy,+Lakewood+Fiasco+Continues.html

this guy worked right off the script

He didinot undergo conversion in any form his wife underwent conservative conversion

if indeed Floyd/Levi is a ger tzdeck why all the nasty outrageous comments particulary by fellow Jews? We have enough to deal with than knocking our own! Am sure the goyim non Jews are LoL at this stupid story. If he & family aren't Jewish,wondering why he chose Judiasm for his cover.Perhaps he really wants to become a member of our tribe,so let him be. Whether it be orthodox,reform,conservative no matter.. And he's yet to be convicted of any so called crime..

70% of Russian immigrants that have come in the last few years may not be Jewish yet I am talking about ALL the Russian immigrants since 1970. Check the goverenments statistics OR sTAY IN cHELM.

Sure Simon! Teach us about morals. You who are living in the most abominable of sexual immorality. When you get yourself right, come and lecture us. Until then you should keep your mouth shut.
