Brooklyn, NY – Private Investigator Accused Of Impersonating FBI Agent

Brooklyn, NY – A private investigator was charged with intimidating a witness by impersonating an FBI agent.

Steve Rombom denied the charge at his arraignment in Manhattan federal court and was released on his own recognizance by Magistrate Gabriel Gorenstein despite a plea by a federal prosecutor that he be held on $400,000 bond. “I never said I was a police officer or federal agent,” Rombom, 47, of Brooklyn, said following the proceeding.

Rombom, also known as Rambam, was charged with one count of impersonating an FBI agent to intimidate a government confidential informant in a pending criminal trial.
The complaint states that in April 2006 he went to the informant’s family’s home in California and introduced himself as an FBI agent, flashing a wallet containing what appeared to be a laminated card with a gold government seal or badge.
