9 Sheldon Weinberg Biographies

Sheldon Weinberg Aug 21, 1924 - Sep 12, 2007 Flushing, New York

Sheldon Weinberg was born to Philip and Freda Weinberg in Brooklyn, New York. Philip was born in Russia and Freda had been born in Austria. Sheldon married Roslyn Weinberg and they had two sons, Jay and Ronald. He was a veteran of World War II, having enlisted in 1943. Sheldon was the subject of an Unsolved Mysteries episode that aired May 17th, 1989. He and his sons Jay and Ronald ran a clinic named the "Bed-Stuy Health Care Clinic" for the poor in Brooklyn where they would defraud Medicaid by submitting false claims. It is estimated that while in business they stole just under $30 million, dollars making it one of the largest Medicaid frauds in history. Their scheme ran from 1978 through 1986, at which time one of their physicians was arrested when attempting to deposit their Medicaid checks. In 1987 Jay and Ronald were arrested and in November 1988 convicted and sentenced to 8 and 5 years. Sheldon, however, fled with his wife Roslyn in January 1989 before his sentencing. As was not uncommon with Unsolved Mysteries, Sheldon was caught by the FBI on an anonymous tip the night of the original broadcast. Sheldon was living in an apartment in Scottsdale Arizona, going under the name "Mark" and his wife "Ann DiVita". He served 16 years in prison and died in 2007.

You can also see an update on the "Unsolved Mysteries" website at Update from the "Unsolved Mysteries" webpage. Sheldon came to attention again in 2020 when details emerged that he had rented an apartment at Trump's New York City Towers, along with other notorious tenants. He paid Trump $180,000 in annual rent before he escaped sentencing and left for Arizona.
