Money manager Howard Rubin detained in sex trafficking case after feds cite hitman threat
- Famed money manager Howard Rubin was arrested in Connecticut on charges of sex trafficking and transporting women across state lines for commercial sex acts.
- Rubin is accused of a litany of stomach-churning, abusive acts against women in an alleged “sex dungeon” in New York City.
- A judge ordered Rubin detained without bail after prosecutors argued he was a flight risk and that he had discussed hiring a “hit man to target women who had filed a civil suit against him.”
- Rubin’s former personal assistant, Jennifer Powers, was also arrested and charged in the case.
Prosecutors said that there were at least 10 other people who helped Rubin facilitate his alleged crimes, and cited tax documents that they argued indicated his financial crimes continued until his arrest.
They said Rubin was found with eight cell phones and three BlackBerry devices. He would not reveal where his passport was, and did not surrender it when arrested.
