With the right ingredients of salaciousness and scandal, the news appeared to be straight out of a Hollywood screenplay: corrupt politicians, money laundering, people being arrested by the busload, raids on synagogues, an Apple Jacks cereal box stuffed with $97,000 in cash, and rabbis trafficking organs. Allegedly, one paid $10,000 to an impoverished Israeli for his or her kidney and tried to sell it for upward of $150,000 in the United States. The criminal complaint quotes the rabbi as saying he was in the organ business for a decade.

What would really pull mcan out of the hole though is if he can cut out the middle man and sell his kidney directly to the guy who needs the transplant. He could sell it at a discount, say $100,000, pay off his debts, and still have $20k to restart his life. Win-win.
