Deal, NJ – As Solomon Dwek sees it, he’s being treated no differently than internationally drug traffickers or imprisoned domestic workers who have their passports locked away.

Bankrupt millionaire real estate investor Dwek asserts no physical mistreatment, but claims in court papers that he’s been unconstitutionally forced into indentured servitude nonetheless.
In an unusual filing in a case that’s had more than its fair share, Dwek on Thursday invoked the 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution prohibiting slavery to argue that his advice to the bankruptcy court is worth the $15,000 a month he’s being paid.
Dwek was first awarded the payments this summer after arguing his creditors could recoup more money if he advised his bankruptcy trustee how to sell his 350 properties. An initial request for $30,000 a month was enthusiastically attacked by various creditors, and now one bank is trying to knock it down further.
“We are collectively spending more in counsel fees than we are fighting over. If no one else can stop this madness, maybe I can,” the 35-year-old Ocean Township resident said in a court statement. [app]
MR. Dwek, being in “Indentured Servitude”, while owning multiple properties worth Millions, brings to mind a (Yiddishe) Classical story about a wealthy man who “Tortured” himself with a steak
and a glass of wine, during “The Nine Days”.
Dwek will you please shutup- youve made enough enough trouble for us
