Original Note:
This post is inaccurate. In July 2009, the FBI arrested 44 people in NY and NJ, 5 of which were rabbis from the Syrian Jewish community. One of these was a rabbi who also helped people to sell their kidneys for profit. Organ harvesting is against the Jewish religion. https://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/24/nyregion/24jersey.html https://www.foxnews.com/story/rabbi-caught-in-new-jersey-corruption-sting-called-himself-kidney-matchmaker https://divinity.uchicago.edu/sightings/articles/paradox-organ-donations-among-ultra-orthodox-jews-israel
