About this episode
Stefan Pildes, a New Jersey man, faces federal wire fraud charges for allegedly pocketing over half of the $2.7 million raised for New York Citys SantaCon event, marketed as a charity bash. He allegedly used a hidden company to siphon funds, while claiming no pay for himself. Investigators found evidence of lavish spending, including a lakefront home, luxury trips, and concert tickets. Pildes was arrested and could face up to 20 years if convicted, but SantaCon continues this weekend, reminding us that not all Santas sacks are full of gifts.
