Scammers and forged documents
According to a federal lawsuit obtained by The Washington Post, the property was transferred to Sky Top Partners LLC for $350,000 in October 2022. The lawsuit alleges Kenigsberg never authorized the sale.
Instead, “scammers” allegedly impersonated him, forged his signature, and created paperwork claiming he approved the transaction while living in Johannesburg, South Africa.
“Dr. Kenigsberg has never lived in Johannesburg, South Africa and was not traveling there in 2022,” the lawsuit states. “Dr. Kenigsburg never authorized the sale of his property to anyone.”
According to the filing, the person behind the alleged scheme provided a forged power of attorney and used identification containing multiple red flags, including an incorrect birthdate, an incorrect address, and a photograph that allegedly did not match Kenigsberg.
Despite those discrepancies, the documents were accepted, and the sale moved forward.
