It would seem the Hudson County prosecutor's office would rather protect businesses than citizens

OK, here's the set up, a waiter a at least one Jersey City restaurant as well as a Newark restaurant has been using a "skimmer" or a quick swipe machine that records credit card personal info that was then sold off to identity theft criminals.

Dayron Rendon of Belleville is the waiter who police are looking for, they say he was the one using the skimmer in both Jersey City and Newark restaurants and did his dirty deed over 100 times. Nice job Dayron, you're a real jackass. We hope the police get you before the citizenry does. Also already arrested were the masterminds of the identity theft operation, Joaquin Martinez of Weehawken, Anuar Prado of Elizabeth, and Julian Garcia of Newark. So far so good on the police. But then again the problem here isn't with the police, it's with Hudson County First Assistant Prosecutor Guy Gregory who REFUSES to list the restaurants where Rendon stole credit card info.

Thank you so much Mr. Gregory. Way to stand up for the business and screw over the general public. Classy move. Not everyone who eats at a restaurant knows to check their credit score every month. Not everyone who eats at a restaurant knows what to do when they become victims of identity theft. You COULD be giving them a big heads up here but you refuse. You'd rather protect businesses than people. We'd like to know which restaurants do thorough background checks on their employees and which ones allow people like Dayron Rendon prey on society. It might make our choice of restaurant easier.

While you stay classy Guy Gregory, the Jersey City Desk will find out the names of these restaurants by hook or by crook and WILL Publish their names, something for whatever reason you were afraid to do.
