A man was cuffed for operating a fake business to con more than $37,000 out of the hands of a company on Montague Street between July 3 and Sept. 13, police said.
Police say the perp set up a bank account for this business, depositing the money another company gave him for a service. The perp then attempted to withdraw all of the money from an automated teller machine between Clinton Street and Cadman Plaza West for his own non-business use, court documents claim.
