New Jersey announced that the owner of a now-defunct Bergen County used car dealership, D.I.B Leasing, along with three employees and a bookkeeper, have been charged with conspiracy, money laundering, and other offenses in connection with bank financing scam that allegedly netted $1.4 million in fraudulent loans for luxury cars.
