Why was Allen Antar excluded from the foreign secret bank accounts?
In the mid 1970’s, Allen divorced his wife Jill and married a person who was not Jewish. He was excluded from all family interests during most of that period. He eventually left his second wife and remarried Jill again. Since he was in the family’s good graces, he came back to work for Crazy Eddie. However, they never put his name on the secret Israel bank accounts. The family did not trust Allen’s judgment on certain money matters. Perhaps the lack of Allen’s signature on the secret Israel bank accounts, was the reason for the jury acquitting him in the criminal trial in 1993. However, he was later convicted of fraud in the later S.E.C. civil trial in 1998.
