It’s bad enough to hear a story about a guy stealing money. It’s a whole other ballgame when the guy reportedly stealing is the Executive Director of the Suffolk County chapter of the New York Civil Liberties Union and the person he was allegedly stealing from is described by prosecutors as a HANDICAPPED CHILD. WTF?!?! Seth Muraskin, 39, who if this is all true is absolutely a douchebag, lives in Setauket and has offices in Huntington, NY, was arraigned before District Court Judge John Iliou on March 3 on a felony charge of third-degree grand larceny, according to court documents. Charged with stealing $44,000 from a client described by prosecutors as a “handicapped child,” Muraskin is suspected of stealing $44,385.06 from “a client’s escrow account” and spending it on personal expenses “for purposes unrelated to his client.”

Bob Clifford, a spokesman for the Suffolk district attorney’s office told Long Island newspaper, Newsday, the money was earmarked “for certain benefits that were meant to benefit his client.” Clifford could not say how old the victim is.
