The state prosecutor is investigating how Gilbert Sapperstein, who was sentenced to 18 months in prison for his role in a scheme to steal $3.3 million from the city schools, managed to have nine months shaved off his sentence while serving the remainder on home detention in the suburban comforts of his Green Spring Valley home.

Sapperstein, who owns All-State Boiler Service Inc., pleaded guilty in May to conspiracy, bribery and theft in connection with a scheme to defraud the city school system. He admitted to paying bribes to a city schools employee in exchange for fraudulent work orders that netted his boiler business millions of dollars in extra revenue.

At his sentencing in city circuit court in August, he repaid the $3.3 million he stole from the school system plus $200,000 in interest, and paid $508,084 in other fees and fines, including $138,084 he stole from the city Department of Public Works under a similar scheme.

In addition to his boiler business, Sapperstein is also entrenched in the city bar scene as the owner of Star Coin Machine Co. He leases video poker games to dozens of bars and is a well-known liquor license broker. When people buy liquor licenses from him, he often requires that they also lease his video poker games. Bar owners sometimes use money they earn from the poker games to help cover expenses, including money owed to brokers.

There is more in depth info on Sapperstein’s at marylandcorruption.com

I’ve spent 15 years of my life investigating Sapperstein’s, Curran and O’Malley.

Here’s more info on O’Malley.

The Top FBI agent in Maryland Gary Bald was replaced by Lynne Hunt, whose husband a retired FBI agent just happened, to be awarded a lucrative Homeland Security contract by none other than Martin O’Malley.

There is a conversation about this on www.baltimoresun2.com/talk
I linked to your site and I was quickly shouted down as antisemitic. I think the Sapperteins have had a lot of influence on the failure to get slots in Maryland.

I read the comments posted over at Baltimore Sun.

I’ll be responding to them in a couple of days, I’m very busy for the next couple of weeks.

It isn’t anti-semitic,there have always been Jewish mafia/mobster guys, just like every ethnic group has organized crime syndicates, the Irish gangs, Chinese Tongs, Vietnamese gangs, Russia Mafia, etc.

If it were viewed as anti-semitic the Baltimore Sun would have pulled your post

One of Sapperstein’s assocaites on the Eastern Shore in Ocean City/Worcester County was president of the Ocean City Synagogue, during the time he was personally involved with Sappersteins, targeting of me and my patent and also real estate deals on behalf and/or pertaining to the Sapperstein’s, in the Ocean City MD. area.

Thanks for posting that info on the Baltimore Sun website.

I don’t know if you have ever read the Abell report on gambling in Maryland it’s very interesting.

I’ll also try and dig up some of my old FR post that have been archived from years gone by, I think you’ll find them interesting.
