“Instead of being at work, the defendant was often at home or even on vacation,” Brooklyn US Attorney Breon Peace said in a statement announcing the charges. He was arrested at his home on Wednesday, hauled before US Magistrate Judge Marcia Henry and released on a $150,000 bond pending his next court appearance.
