When Jews Attack 21 – Victim – Father In Law

Stuart Ross, 74, pleaded guilty in August to attempted grand larceny after threatening to destroy the professional reputation of son-in-law David Blitzer, a senior managing director at the financial services firm The Blackstone Group, if he wasn’t paid the money.

Ross had tried to withdraw the guilty plea, claiming he only entered it because he was contending with pneumonia, cancer and other health problems that were not getting adequate care when he was held in jail.

But New York state Supreme Court Justice Bonnie Wittner said: “There’s nothing in the record to convince me it was anything but a voluntary plea.” Ross bought North American rights to the sky-blue Smurf characters after seeing them in their native Belgium in 1976. The gnome-like cartoon creatures then shot to fame in a 1980s television series.

Ross went through the money he had made and began asking Mr Blitzer to stake him in new businesses, according to a lawsuit filed by Mr Blitzer.

Mr Blitzer said threats began when he cut Ross off after giving him tens of thousands of dollars.
