The Administration of NYC Mayor Eric Adams is quickly becoming the most corrupt in the city’s long history of corruption.
Mayor Eric Adams may already be the most corrupt mayor in NYC history. The number of corrupt actions surrounding Adams is exploding.
In early July, six individuals were arrested for criminal activities involving Adams’s election.
Six people were charged Friday in an alleged scheme to divert tens of thousands of dollars in public money to New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ campaign months before his election.
This case involved a former NYC cop and ally of Adams:
“An acquaintance of New York City Mayor Eric Adams is at the center of an alleged straw-donor scheme, announced by the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg Friday, that funneled tens of thousands of dollars in illicit contributions to the Democratic mayor’s campaign,” Politico reports.
“Dwayne Montgomery is a retired deputy inspector with the NYPD, where he overlapped with Adams before the mayor retired to pursue a political career.”
“According to an indictment unveiled by Bragg Friday, Montgomery was among six people charged with an elaborate scheme to circumvent campaign finance laws and ply the campaign with cash in the hopes of currying favor for future business deals with the city, once Adams was elected.”
Adams admits that he knows the main man involved in the case.
Mayor Eric Adams acknowledged that he knows the man at the center of an alleged scheme to divert thousands of dollars in public money to his campaign from their overlapping careers at the NYPD.
Hizzoner’s remarks on Monday were the first he has made about the straw donor scandal since Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted Dwayne Montgomery — the former police inspector — and five other men for allegedly using friends and relatives to make illegal donations to Adams’ 2021 mayoral campaign.
A top Adams aide was involved in the arrest.
A top City Hall aide has been outed as the campaign worker who dealt with the alleged mastermind of a straw donor scheme to gain political influence in the Big Apple.
Rachel Atcheson, Mayor Eric Adams’ deputy director for food policy and a fellow vegetarian, organized a fundraiser with accused ringleader Dwyane Montgomery, a former NYPD inspector and head of integrity for a municipal workers union, according to newly filed court documents.
Manhattan prosecutors identified Atcheson as “Campaign Representative #1” who was mentioned in an indictment filed against Montgomery, five others and Ecosafety Consultants Inc. earlier this month in the alleged big-bucks scam.
Another Democrat was involved in the arrest as well.
A Manhattan Democratic Party official has been identified as a “straw donor” who dealt with at least one of the defendants in the alleged criminal campaign-finance scheme that has rocked Mayor Eric Adams’ 2021 campaign.
William Smith, a Democratic district leader from East Harlem, was revealed as “straw donor 16” who had conversations with defendant Shamsuddin Riza in the case, according to court papers filed by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office.
Not long after all this, the Head of NYC anti-violence program was busted in a gun and drug bust.
The director of a Bronx anti-violence program listed as part of Mayor Eric Adams’ plan to curb shootings was hit with drug and gun charges in a massive upstate bust, The Post has learned.
Michael Rodriguez, 48, head of Bronx Rises Against Gun Violence (BRAG), was among 15 suspects charged in the drug conspiracy case, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office said Tuesday.
He is accused of supplying drugs to dealers in Middletown and Port Jervis to be sold on the streets.
Cops raided his Yonkers home last week and allegedly found the drugs, more than $165,000 in cash and two illegal guns — a Ruger .380 caliber handgun and a Bond Arms .357-caliber handgun.
Rodriguez’ organization BRAG is among the grassroots organizations listed as community partners in the city’s “Blueprint to End Gun Violence” released last year.
The New York Daily News reported this weekend on the former NYC Buildings Commissioner who has been charged with corruption.
Former New York City Buildings Commissioner Eric Ulrich has been charged with corruption in a sealed indictment, sources told the Daily News late Thursday.
Ulrich was revealed to be in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s crosshairs when investigators seized his phone last November, seven months after Mayor Adams tapped him as his Buildings commissioner. He resigned his Buildings post days later…
…the charges Ulrich faces are also expected to touch on his alleged ties to organized crime and illegal gambling.
In another story a minister in NYC was charged with corruption related to the corrupt NYC government.
The flashy, jewelry-flaunting Brooklyn pastor who reported being robbed while preaching at his church this past summer was arrested on federal charges Monday – unrelated to the July incident – for allegedly defrauding a parishioner, trying to extort a businessman and lying to the FBI, according to a federal indictment.
Lamor Whitehead, the 45-year-old pastor who goes by “Bishop,” was charged with wire fraud, attempted wire fraud, attempted extortion and making a material false statement, the US Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of New York announced. He faces up to 65 years in prison for his alleged crimes.
As the pastor of Leaders of TomorrowInternational Ministry, Whitehead allegedly defrauded one of his parishioners out of about$90,000 from her retirement savings over the course of at least 14 months beginning around April 2020, according to the indictment. The document said Whitehead told the parishioner he would use her money to help her buy a home and invest the rest of the money, but instead used it “to purchase thousands of dollars of luxury goods and clothing” and “for his own purposes.”
Whitehead never helped her buy a home, the court document says, and never returned her money despite her request.
This spring, Whitehead allegedly attempted to convince a businessman to loan him about $500,000 and grant him a stakein real estate transactions in exchange for obtaining “favorable actions by the New York City government” that would make them “millions” – something the pastor knew he could not obtain, the indictment says. Earlier this year, he also allegedly used “threats of force” against that same businessman to extort $5,000 from him.
It looks like the entire city is corrupt and getting worse under Adams.
Former NYPD officer Sal Greco was on the other side of the NYC justice system. He befriended Roger Stone and as a result was fired by the NYPD. His firing was based on the fact that he was Roger Stone’s friend and that he could not work for NYC and have been connected to a criminal (Stone was pardoned of any wrongdoing at the time).
Greco shared the mass corruption a month ago.
On Thursday, Greco shared more on the destruction of the Big Apple due to the corruption of NYC mayor Adams.

NYC government Corrupt under (especially) Democrats??? Who would have thought… I am shocked, Shocked I say!!! PS hizzoner has still not thanked the millions of dead and imaginary who showed up at the polls for him!!
This just in…Communist Democrat Mayor is corrupt! In other news…water is wet!
What is new about corrupt mayors? Seems like nearly every city has a corrupt mayor and nearly every one is a democrat. I live in the outskirts of Denver and they have just elected a new mayor and its just a new name but the same old same old has not changed the last three or four mayors have all been on the take one is now a senator still on the take. Denver has become a real s—hole tents all over downtown and it is not just the mayor the whole state is corrupt elections are rigged if you vote republican you just as well not vote your guy is not going to win.
America needs leaders like the Prez of El Salvador, Sr. Bukele. He said, “Cuando un gobierno no combate efectivamente la criminalidad, no es porque no tenga la capacidad de hacerlo, sino porque los cómplices de los criminales son los que están en el gobierno.”
“When a government does not effectively fight crime, it is not because it does not have the capability to do it, it is because the government contains criminal accomplices.”
And no end in sight
Sorry but Adams is no where near as corrupt as DiBlasio.
DiBlasio violated the human rights of his citizens with the vaccine mandates
DiBlasio released inmates from the Ward’s Island Institute for the criminally insane for kickbacks.
DiBlasio created a nepotistic job for his wife in which 1.2 Billion dollars was “misplaced”.
DiBlasio has swamped NYC with ridiculous “green laws” that have cost consumers millions.
DiBlasio left Adams a 5 billion dollar deficit to clean up.
Adams can’t do anything about Albany who is driving the cashless bail situation.
Adams is showing his racism but he is a rank amateur compared to DiBlasio, Hochul, Whitmer and Biden
Adams tried to get the Biden administration to give NYC $1 billion to care for 30,000 illegal aliens for a year. Imagine what a corrupt mayor could have done with a slush fund like that.
