Real estate developer convicted alongside New Jersey Sen. pleads guilty to bank fraud
Briefly

Fred Daibes, the New Jersey real estate developer, admitted in court to executing false statements regarding a 2008 loan, identifying a third party as the borrower.
Prosecutors revealed that while he was CEO at Mariner's Bank, Daibes misled about a $1.8 million loan that was actually for his benefit, not the named borrower.
The ongoing bribery case involved Senator Menendez, Daibes, and others, exposing a scheme where the senator allegedly received cash and valuables in exchange for favorable treatment.
Senator Menendez initially rejected a U.S. Attorney candidate out of concern for a previous connection to Daibes, highlighting potential conflicts of interest in their dealings.
