Alleged Chase Fraud Broad May Have Bought House, Too

072209katz.jpg A couple more details and one sexy photo have emerged regarding the 25-year-old former Chase Bank financial adviser accused of siphoning over $100K from a millionaire's private account. While Robin Katz sits in Rikers Island on $50,000 bail, the Post is drawing from a bountiful stash of photos yanked from Katz's MySpace page. (It's unclear whether the Post grabbed the snapshots before Katz pulled her profile or if the tabloid's shared membership in the Murdoch family of companies yielded extra access.) A police source says that after arresting Katz, investigators found an ATM card and four withdrawal receipts connected to the account of Wall Street broker Dorone Ilan Farber. Auditors say Katz created the extra ATM card in Farber's name, making dozens of withdrawals from his account. Police think she used the money for shopping and partying, but a tipster claiming to be a friend of Katz's since 2005 tells us she saved up enough to put a down payment on a house!

    For those of you drooling.

    First, you'd have to break that giant Barbra Streisand nose.

    What a hideous creature. Yeeek Rabbi Katz!

  • eugenejen

    I feel somewhat fishy about the whole story. I suspect the truth is:



    Dorone Ilan Farber had a fling with Robin Katz. Why not, a rich Jewish broker with high testosterone level will like to mix business with love affair with a hot young well educated Jewish girl. It was a match made in heaven. He spoiled her and wooed her with a card to his account. They broke up for a reason and he decided he wanted a revenge by sending her to jail.



    I am not her friend. But after reading this, I suspect the things may be more complex.

  • theboneranger





    Prostitution was still illegal last time I checked.

  • wobbleSmith

    of course, that makes perfect sense. 99% of the time, the most elaborate and conspiratorial reason is the right one.



    if this were the case, chase would have had her back. you don't risk the horrible publicity of consumers thinking you employee semi-hot con-artists unless the police arrest one of them for being a con-artist.



    she got caught.



    whammy.

  • Quidnam

    We have a winner...

  • angry_pickle

    There are some horny desperate men on this site; upon viewing some skank's picture, completely forget what the article is about and simply start drooling and fantasizing.

  • The Man Bat

    Not desperate by a long shot....just horny as hell and the chick is hot. No denying that.

  • The Man Bat

    Holy Mother of Christ.....I would hit that like the proverbial Fist of an Angry God.







    Hot.As.Hell.

  • Matt Joyce

    Yeah, why the hell is a 25 year old a "financial advisor"? That's ridiculous.

  • angry_pickle

    That's how consulting works. You hire kids a couple years out of college and present them to clients as the next big thing; charge clients $200+/hr and pay the kids $40/hr. The rest of the money funnels up the pyramid to the CEO who make $1000+/hr while playing golf.

  • valeriob

    20 bucks this chick was banging these dudes for $$ and they were smart enough to cover their tracks and make it look like they've been had.

  • contro

    She looks like she's wiping something off from her lips.

  • longacre

    She seems to be eating a strawberry in the photo.

  • contro

    Yes, but who's taking the picture...

  • silver

    this shit sounds like this other girl from a time back http://www.nypost.com/seven/12142007/news/regionalnews/gal_gets_popped_787561.htm

    Moar picz



    id roofie her, bang her, and steal her stolen CCs :-D

  • contro

    that's a crime dude.

  • tingo

    How could you be 25 and 'advise' anything?

    Maybe the problem with our country's economy is we have 25 year olds running it.





  • mrguy

    you love to see somebody like this get caught. 25 years old and works at Chase, so you know she wasn't exactly going hungry. But she had to have more, and hey, why not just rip off some rich guy? he'll never notice the money going missing.



    Greed and hubris, pure and simple.



    I know nothing about Robin except for what i've read here, but i have to imagine that as she sits in Rikers and contemplates how she'll be spending, oh, probably the rest of her 20s in prison and then have no career prospects afterwards, she says to herself "my god, what have i done... for a few extra pairs of shoes or drinks at a club, this is not worth it."

  • hotstepper

    just a nudder butterface.

  • redhookreject

    "(It's unclear whether the Post grabbed the snapshots before Katz pulled her profile or if the tabloid's shared membership in the Murdoch family of companies yielded extra access.)"



    Do you have any sort of proof, or is this just gross speculation and suggestion.



    Journalism is truly dead, and now its just ignorant opinion.





    and I can't stand the Post or News Corp, but whaaaaaaaa Theeeeee

  • longacre

    That's not opinion, it's a valid speculation first posted in comment form here by me, yesterday. :-) I, for one, am definitely not a Murdoch hater.

  • redhookreject

    and that's not journalism is it. reportage is fact, and even editorial should be based on fact expressed as opinion..

  • jaycjay



    This is a blog. It's all commentary and opinion, not journalism.



    You must have clicked the wrong link and gotten here by accident... try this: http://cnn.com

  • wobbleSmith

    whichever of her ex-boyfriends has nudie pics of her has about 3 days to cough them up before the NY Post stops caring.

  • Rocknrope

    Nothing like totally f'ing up your career three years into it, and your life a quarter century in.



    I always wonder what these people do afterwards? Paper route? Magazine subscription seller? State Council?

  • schadenfreudian mensch

    City Council member.

  • Rfive

    Playboy spread. Or straight to pay-for-view porn, from the looks of some of the comments.

  • NannyState

    Elliott Spitzer?

  • Guest

    She's definitely a sight for sore eyes after that whole Madoff thing. He was painful to look at.



    As for that photo, I have one thing to say to her: You got a real pretty mouth! I bet you can squeal like a pig. Weeeeee! Weeeeee! Weeeeee!

  • contro

    LOL squeal like a pg.

  • imadick

    so this idiot really kept not only the duplicate ATM card, but also receipts in her wallet? if you're going to steal, you need to do three basic things:

    1) make sure no one knows or sees

    2) cover your tracks as best you can

    3) launder the money

  • Quidnam

    Yeah, something about this doesn't seem to add up. Are we certain that she wasn't this broker's mistress and he didn't just decide to throw her under the bus for some reason or another?

  • al_fredo

    She's starting to look better each day! I'm excited. By week's end, we should see even better photos. By the end of the month, she'll be in Playboy...and play herself in the made for TV movie, "Robin Katz, Robbin' Chase".

  • NannyState

    Perfect idea for her work release program!

  • sluggo

    Well, that's one way to get a down payment.

  • jaycjay

    "It's unclear whether the Post grabbed the snapshots before Katz pulled her profile or if the tabloid's shared membership in the Murdoch family of companies yielded extra access."



    Well if tipsters claiming to be friends are talking to the Post, it seems reasonable to assume they're also Myspace friends, in which case they'd have access to her profile even if it is now set to private.



    More reasonable than that crazy Murdoch corporate conspiracy theory, anyway.

  • KiljoyWasHere

    It apparently was not a Post tipster, but a Gothamist tipster.

    Also, she had enough to put a down payment on a house, or she PUT a down payment on a house? Depending on the full quote this could go either way.

  • jaycjay

    But the Post has tipsters, too: "Carise Raney, 26, a pal of Katz's from the banker's days at Smith College in Massachusetts, said she invited Katz to a family event in West Virginia last weekend and that she had agreed to come."

  • contro

    I'd bang her.

  • theboneranger





    lol @ this chick being "hot".. the myspace cheat angle strikes again!



    how much of that $110k do you think she spent plucking those bushy eyebrows down to size?



    that gigantic shnoz could use a little trimmin too.



    even her hands look a little freakish.



    the boobers are perfect though.

  • dnice

    You're an idiot. Is that the smartest thing you could come up with? Are you like 12 years old? Scary to know there's men still out there like you. Did your mother abuse you or something so now you just disrepect women?

  • pastaboy12

    Eiffel Tower that shit

  • valeriob

    up top!

  • jaycjay

    Then leave immediately. Wouldn't want to risk falling asleep and leaving my wallet unattended.
