Yesterday, authorities revealed how Lembo managed to operate with such efficiency, outlining a scheme in which he allegedly used a ring of corrupt employees at banks across northern New Jersey to illegally access account information of more than 500,000 people who owed money.
Lembo, police charge, then sold the information to more than 40 collection agencies and law firms, earning millions of dollars for himself over the past four years.
Hackensack Police Chief Charles "Ken" Zisa, whose department uncovered and investigated the scheme, said he was told by a U.S. Treasury official that the actions of Lembo and his partners represented the largest breach of banking security in the nation.
