Socialites donate arm candy for flood relief

Price: $ 45.00

Louis Vuitton, TodΓÇÖs and Gucci bags for a fraction of the retail price sounds like every shopaholicΓÇÖs dream come true. But purchasing these bags isnΓÇÖt going to cause as much shopperΓÇÖs guilt as one would expect. Proceeds collected from the sale of these bags, currently ongoing at Labels in Karachi, will be donated to the Karachi Relief Trust to help flood victims.

44 arrested in N.J. corruption probe

NEWARK, N.J. — An investigation into the sale of black-market kidneys and fake Gucci handbags evolved into a sweeping probe of political corruption in New Jersey, ensnaring more than 40 people Thursday, including three mayors, two state lawmakers and several rabbis.

Even for a state with a rich history of graft, the scale of wrongdoing alleged was breathtaking. An FBI official called corruption "a cancer that is destroying the core values of this state."

Federal prosecutors said the investigation initially focused on a money laundering network that operated between Brooklyn, N.Y.; Deal, N.J.; and Israel. The network is alleged to have laundered tens of millions of dollars through Jewish charities controlled by rabbis in New York and New Jersey.
