Alleged Busy Chef Con Man Finds Apartment Trashed

Dan Kaufman, the man accused of stealing customers’ credit card info at several Brooklyn Heights eateries, now knows what it feels like to be on the wrong end of crime. According to the Brooklyn Paper, Kaufman returned home to find the locks changed at his apartment on Pierrepont Street. When a locksmith finally came and opened the door, he discovered that the place had been “ransacked.” The article doesn’t definitively say who’s responsible, but one possible suspect is Alan Young, Kaufman’s estranged business partner at the now-closed restaurants; Young just so happens to own the apartment that Kaufman rents. Also, Kaufman’s just a patsy – his lawyer says it was Young stealing the credit card info all along!
