The self-proclaimed “Wolf of Airbnb” pleaded guilty Monday in a case accusing him of illegally subletting Manhattan apartments while skipping out on rent.
more than a dozen Manhattan apartments and operating them as “mini hotels” — all while skipping out on rent — pleaded guilty to federal charges Monday over the scheme.
Bicher will also face a $150,000 fine and has agreed to pay $1.7 million in forfeitures and another $1.98 million back to his victims. “Bicher proudly referred to himself as the ‘Wolf of Airbnb,'” Manhattan US Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement. “But, as he admitted in court today, his businesses were premised on fraud.”
Bicher was accused of leasing at least 18 apartments and then illegally subletting them on platforms such as Airbnb.In the spring of 2021, Bicher made at least four applications for federal Payment Protection Programs business loans — after he filed doctored tax information and lied on the applications.
