I had the ...Dear Mrs. Stark and the entire family,<br /><br />I had the pleasure of dealing with your husband and family leader<br />"Max" for almost every month since 2001. I was the first tenant in his new<br />building at 315 Seigel St and I am still here after all these years. We<br />often spoke about building up the neighborhood when it was not safe to even<br />walk around here. He answered my call and was always there to assist and<br />help with any needs I had as a tenant. On many occasions, he would call me<br />to walk around with him collecting the rents and was always interested in my<br />business and how my family was doing. Max and I were the same age. After<br />hearing that he had a new born, I immediately called to wish him my best for<br />the<br />new baby and he replied, I would need to get busy to catch up to him.<br />I had my first born in the building and he and Sam were nice enough to stop<br />by to see my son.<br /><br />Max was a Stand Up guy, a good friend and a very good landlord. I wanted to<br />take the time to let you know that the world will not be the same without<br />him. Especially our street here at Seigel. Max was a pioneer of the<br />neighborhood and his memory will always be remembered here by our tenants in<br />the building. God Bless his soul and may he be in peace until we will all<br />join him some day in the heavens.<br /><br />If there is anything I can ever do for you or your family, please call me<br />anytime. <br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Eric Ortense<br />apt 214<br />315 Seigel StAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-53066525766870032612014-01-07T22:23:54.535+02:002014-01-07T22:23:54.535+02:00That's his whole point!!

Here are a few pointers for the educated sleuth. <br /><br />He wasn't killed by a tenant or super, or for what he did to someone," a revenge killing", because if he was they would have beat him or bruised him with a knife or bat, or another blunt object. <br /><br />He was obviously greeted by someone he recognized to try to lure him into the van. Then when he didn't come he was jumped by two additional guys. If it was mafia, they would have all jumped him. No one would be luring him anywhere. He was not a 6 year old boy.<br /><br />They used a minivan, not a cargo van. They obviously aren't professionals. Minivans have windows, have multiple exits, are impossible for the task they were trying to perform. <br /><br />They came to the heart of Williamsburg, and not to shoot him and run, but to kidnap him. They must have felt very comfortable in the area. Not Italians. <br /><br /><br />Conclusion: Max Stark was killed by mistake after an "Epstein style" abduction with a purpose of forcing him to agree, or do something. He was accidentally killed. When they realized that they messed up, they threw him in a dumpster and lit it on fire to try to hide the evidence. <br /><br />Killers: either local chassidic businessmen and their henchmen, or Israelis.
