Jewish Russian Defrauds America
A Brooklyn man doned a wig, nail polish and dresses to impersonate his
dead mom and collect $115,000 in Social Security and rent subsidies.
For six years, Thomas Prusik-Parkin hoodwinked a stunning array of
government agencies with his elaborate charade - using a cane, heavy
makeup, fake ID and a phony "nephew," law enforcement sources said.
He began collecting $700 a month in Social Security in her name, in
addition to his own disability checks, sources said. He's accused of
posing as Irene to file for bankruptcy so "she" would be eligible for
$39,000 in city subsidies to help pay rent on a Park Slope apartment.

property transactions.
