Maybe he's a hero to YOUR Hoboken, not the one I know and neither to his family. His father, Rabbi Issac Dwek, gave a speech at his Synagogue in which he stated that his son Solomon was no longer welcome at his home and denounced the practice of acting as a government informant.

Not a hero but thanks to the FBI using crimials like Dwek they were able to take Cammerano and friend out City Hall before they could do too much more damage and made us look much more closely at those like Councilman Michael Russo and see his true colors.

Right again, CuriousGalPal! The last thing we need is more government informants. Of course if the government would give me something in the neighborhood of $16,400 to wear a wire, I'd be up at 1200 all day having people whisper into my corsage.

CG, I'll bet Peter Cammarano isn't a big fan of his either. Let's tell it like it is, he was excommunicated from his Hasidic community for blowing the whistle on a number of rabbis who were involved in crimes including illegal trading of kidneys and tax evasion, and not for the crimes he commited against his family and those in his community, as well as the federal government.

He's not a hero in general, just a crook who turned into an informant, but he did expose some pretty seedy behavior in Hoboken. I believe that he allowed for us to see how some of our politicians were ready to sell us out so cheaply, and for that, I think on net, he was good for Hoboken. Of course, we all know those politicians are ones you regularly defend.
