Filing: Quiros' unpaid rent may lead to rabbi layoffs

A religious education organization says it may have to reduce its staff of teaching rabbis unless it can collect money owed from a storage lease it had with the developer at the center of the Jay Peak EB-5 investor fraud scandal.

The motion asks the judge presiding in the case to partially lift an assets freeze in place against Quiros so the organization can collect on the $24,627 it says it is due.
