In a complicated developing story, former NJ assemblyman Louis Manzo is accusing NJ governor Chris Christie of encouraging a massive corruption sting to promote himself in the gubernatorial race. Ironically, Manzo, along with his brother, is a victim of the sting, charged with accepting bribes totalling over $27, 000. Manzo claims to have sufficient evidence showing that the string was carried out by a number of people who stood to personally benefit from a Christie victory, generally US and assistant US attorneys prosecuting cases uncovered during the sting who made their way to state jobs after Christie took office. In response to Manzo's accusations, a Christie spokesperson responded, "He (Manzo) appears to be just another former public official in New Jersey charged with corruption who wants to divert attention from his own conduct." Another victim of the sting was Jersey City deputy mayor and former burlesque dancer Leona Beldini (aka Hope Diamond), found guilty in February of accepting bribes from Solomon Dwek, the same FBI informant who bagged Manzo.
