That wasn't all that Salim Zantout is accused of committing. A 91-year-old homeowner said he's out $10,000 after a repair job wasn't even done.
Salim Zantout will have to face a judge on criminal counts connected to alleged swindling of at least two victims.At 91 years old, Ocy Jones was not expecting to fight about the house he bought in the 1970s.
Jones took action. He tried to chase down Zantout for his money, even hiring a lawyer to file a civil lawsuit. None of it went anywhere. Eventually, he found a Facebook page titled, "Victims of Salim Zantout," which chronicled his alleged bad deals."I gave him $103,000 in two checks, and then he convinced me to buy a yacht, a boat," Reyes, who now lives in a small apartment with just a few pieces of furniture, said.
But there soon would be red flags. Zantout wouldn't meet Reyes late at night or on weekends, claiming he was busy and also running a club. Months went by and no houses were ever built.
