High Price for Fraudulent Grading

Moras and Buxbaum in better times

The Department of Justice announced on September 24th that two indicted co-conspirators have pleaded guilty in a U.S. District Court to commit wire fraud and using counterfeit USDA stamps.  At issue are the activities of Howard Mora and Allen Buxbaum who misbranded lower quality beef and sold product at inflated prices to consumers.  The defendants face up to 20 years in prison and criminal forfeiture of $250,000.

The Acting United States Attorney prosecuting the case stated “Mora and Buxbaum rang up hundreds of thousands of dollars in fraudulent profits by charging customers more than their   products were worth and now they will pay a price for their avarice.”  The criminal activity took place between September 2011 and October 2014 when the defendants were co-owners of A. Stein Meat Products located in Brooklyn NY.
