markets hot stocks fear & greed index latest market news hot stocks follow: federal prosecutors charged two prominent real estate brokers and their brother in a sex trafficking scheme, alleging they baited, drugged and sexually assaulted multiple women since 2010. tal and oren alexander, top real estate brokers and brothers who started at real estate company douglas elliman, and their brother alon, were arrested wednesday morning, according to a spokesman for the fbi’s new york field office. alon and oren alexander were arrested by state authorities on sexual battery charges and are expected to be transferred into federal custody after their initial appearance in state court. tal alexander briefly appeared before a federal judge in florida on wednesday afternoon and is expected to make another appearance friday. prosecutors in miami dade county said they were coordinating with federal officials in new york city on the next steps for both men, including possible extradition. all three brothers face 15 years to life in prison, if convicted of the federal charges. prosecutors allege the alexander brothers worked together and with other men “to repeatedly and violently drug, sexually assault, and rape dozens of victims” in new york, miami and elsewhere. the newly unsealed federal indictment charges the brothers for a scheme from 2011 through 2021. but prosecutors say the sexual violence against dozens of women spans more than 20 years, dating as far as when the men were in high school. authorities say they used their wealth and status as elite brokers to lure women whom they promised travel, luxury rooms at high end hotels, and access to events. during those trips and events, they allege, the men “frequently raped and sexually assaulted the women” sometimes within hours of meeting them. after the assault, prosecutors say they sometimes offered the women concert tickets or travel. according to the indictment they “arranged for these sexual assaults well in advance, using the promise of luxury experiences, travel, and accommodations to lure and entice women to locations where they were then forcibly raped or sexually assaulted, sometimes by multiple men,” including themselves. prosecutors allege the brothers and others would pool financial resources to pay for the women’s travel expenses. in choosing targets they’d share photographs of women to “select those they found sufficiently attractive to invite,” according to the indictment. the brothers and others allegedly contacted the women through social media or dating apps and invited them to attend events, often by purchasing their flights. they also allegedly worked with party promoters to find women to attend events, and in advance would obtain cocaine, mushrooms and ghb, according to the indictment. during these events and trips, the brothers allegedly “surreptitiously drugged women’s drinks,” authorities allege. the brothers often “drugged their victims before assaulting them, preventing them from fighting back or escaping,” the indictment says. the brothers allegedly held down their victims during the attacks and “ignored screams and explicit requests to stop,” according to the indictment. “oren alexander is innocent. the evidence will show that neither he nor his brothers ever committed a crime,” susan necheles, an attorney for oren alexander, said in a statement. isabelle kirschner, an attorney who has represented alon and oren alexander, who are twins, in civil sex trafficking lawsuits, confirmed their arrest and declined further comment. deanna paul, an attorney for older brother tal alexander, also confirmed his arrest and had no further comment. a spokesperson for douglas elliman did not respond to a request for comment. sexual assault allegations have been publicly levied against the alexander brothers since earlier this year. douglas elliman’s stock began plummeting in 2021, years before the allegations were made public. after questions were raised about how the assault allegations were handled by management, along with other concerns about the company’s plummeting valuation, the company’s former ceo, howard lorber, abruptly retired in october. neither lorber nor douglas elliman were mentioned in the criminal charges against the alexander brothers. a letter filed by by federal prosecutors in manhattan on wednesday asking the court to deny the brothers bail also reveals additional details about the allegations in the indictment. law enforcement agents have interviewed dozens of women who reported being forcibly raped or sexually assaulted including multiple women who report being raped by at least one of the alexander brothers while they were in high school in miami in the early 2000s, the letter says. all three brothers have been charged with conspiracy to commit sex trafficking and sex trafficking of one victim in 2016. the victim connected to that sex trafficking charge alleges she and a friend first met the twins on a dating app. oren and alon offered to pay for the women from illinois to fly to new york to spend the labor day weekend with the brothers in the hamptons, the letter says, which the women accepted. oren gave the alleged victim a drink at a house in the hamptons hours after they arrived. after drinking the cocktail, she was unable to move or speak as oren raped her, the allegations say. data recovered from oren’s icloud account shows all three brothers discussing their weekend plans for an “orgy,” according to the letter. the letter details other message threads capturing detailed plans between the brothers and other unnamed men planning international trips where they’d “import” women. one scheme planned for tulum, mexico, in october 2016 occurred weeks after the alleged hamptons altercation. in a group whatsapp chat entitled “lions in tulum,” the alexander brothers and other men attending the trip discussed “imports” of women to tulum for the upcoming trip and discussed, among other things, splitting the cost of lodging and flights for the women that they planned to “import” and providing drugs to the women that would make them more likely to engage in sex, including “coke, shrooms, and g.” a message from oren in the message thread said, “ are all girls getting shipped out on sunday?” tal alexander is separately charged with sex trafficking of a second victim in july 2011 while in the hamptons. the alleged victim had planned to go to the hamptons that weekend with friends.tal alexander and another unnamed man allegedly picked up the woman and her friend from a local train station bringing them to their vacation house. the woman felt unwell after drinking half a glass of wine given to her at the home, according to the prosecutors’ letter. “victim 1’s memory thereafter became hazy but she has several distinct memories of the night,” the letter said. “specifically, victim 1 remembers being held down by tal while another man entered the room. victim 1 also remembers being in a second location with tal and the other man and that a camcorder was set up.” her next memory was waking up in the grass outside of the vacation house, the letter says. prosecutors say tal and oren took steps to protect their reputations in the real estate industry and conceal their crimes. “the government is aware, for instance, of at least one occasion in which tal and oren filed a police report alleging harassment against a woman who has described being forcibly digitally penetrated by tal while oren was in the room. tal also threatened that victim with a defamation lawsuit if she did not stop telling people that he and oren had sexually assaulted her.” prosecutors in new york want all three brothers imprisoned ahead of their trial, calling them a flight risk and significant danger to the community. in the letter prosecutors say the men are a flight risk with international connections to countries including israel and have extensive resources including regular access to private jets, yachts and florida residences with direct water access to the atlantic ocean. the three brothers have faced multiple civil lawsuits alleging they sexually assaulted numerous women. according to one lawsuit, alon and tal raped a woman in 2012 “in a coordinated sexual assault that was planned and facilitated by oren alexander along with his brothers.” representatives for the brothers have previously denied any wrongdoing to those allegations. ﻿correction: an earlier version of this story mischaracterized when the alexander brothers were publicly

manage your account additional charges are expected to be filed against disgraced luxury real estate agents tal and oren alexander, and their brother alon, as the number of women accusing the alleged sicko siblings of rape climbed to 60, federal prosecutors revealed friday. the brothers pleaded not guilty at their first manhattan court appearance as oren, his twin brother alon, both 37, and older brother tal, 38, sat with their hands and feet cuffed together at the defense table in matching jail issued beige jumpsuits and slip on shoes. “we do intend to bring a superseding indictment in this case,” prosecutor elizabeth espinosa told the court, describing a legal filing that will add new allegations against the three jailed men. the expanded case will include more victims prepared to testify at a trial, she added. prosecutors had said that they’d previously spoken to 40 women who say at least one of the brothers raped them. the feds charged that at least two of the siblings “penetrated” their victims together in eight separate encounters. the brothers are being held without bail after a shocking indictment unsealed in december accused them of using “the promise of luxury experiences, travel, and accommodations to lure and entice women to locations where they were then forcibly raped or sexually assaulted.” prosecutors have painted a disturbing picture of the siblings’ alleged pattern of rapes in which “they pin their victims down” and “forcibly have intercourse with them.” one witness told the feds they “couldn’t feel their limbs” after only drinking half of what they believed to be an alcoholic beverage. the case marked a shocking fall from grace for tal and oren, who once catered to celebrity clientele and in 2019 helped broker the sale of a record setting $240 million penthouse overlooking central park. prosecutors also disclosed friday that they’ll be handing over a “substantial” trove of evidence to the brothers’ lawyers, including data obtained from icloud, instagram and dating app accounts and seized from cellphones and laptops. among the most damning pieces of evidence, according to the feds, is video seized from tal’s apartment showing two of the brothers sexually assaulting a woman who was “incapacitated.” judge valerie caproni set a jan. 5, 2026 trial date for all three brothers on charges that could put them behind bars for 15 years to life if convicted. friday’s arraignment hearing had been pushed back a week after florida based lawyers for the alexander twins oren and alon said they needed more time to explore bringing in attorneys from new york. “i thought there was going to be new york counsel?” judge caproni asked the defense attorneys on friday. oren’s lawyer richard klugh   who bizarrely argued in january that the married new dad should be released because “there have been no more orgies!”   responded that he was “actively pursuing” adding a big apple attorney to the team, but that he would be staying on the case as well. after the hearing ended, the alexander brothers’ parents, orly and shlomy, could be seen huddling in the courthouse hallway with new york city defense lawyer arthur aidala, who in recent years has represented film producer harvey weinstein, disgraced financier jeffrey epstein’s alleged madam ghislaine maxwell, and others in high profile criminal trials.

two real estate agent brothers who cater to extremely wealthy clients, and their private security executive brother, have been arrested and federally charged with sex trafficking crimes after prosecutors say they used “their wealth and positions to create and facilitate opportunities to sexually assault women.” tal alexander and oren alexander on sept. 20, 2016 in new york city. tal, alon and oren alexander were arrested in miami wednesday and charged in federal court in new york with three counts of sex trafficking, according to a recently unsealed indictment. tal and oren alexander, once top real estate agents, and their brother alon, are accused of using travel, luxury accommodations and other lures to draw dozens of women to isolated locations and then gang rape them in a sex trafficking operation lasting from 2010 to 2021. some women were allegedly enticed to be alone with one or more of the brothers under the guise of starting a relationship, others were participants in trips and events organized months in advance and others were chosen at random, and sometimes assaulted within hours of meeting, the indictment alleges. the men are accused of using cocaine, mushrooms and ghb, a "date rape" drug, to impair women in their company. a motion filed in court wednesday includes text messages allegedly sent between the brothers in which they discuss collecting money to fly "bitches" to parties, what drugs they should provide and protecting their reputations if "some hoe" complained about their behavior. the charges come after the brothers were accused of rape in march and june of this year. emails to the alexander brothers and their lawyers went unanswered wednesday. get forbes breaking news text alerts: we’re launching text message alerts so you'll always

several years ago, and their resume includes helping to sell a $15.5 million condo in miami beach to kim kardashian and kanye west in 2018. they represented billionaire leon black in the 2016 listing of his $18.5 million miami condo. other famous clients have included fashion mogul steve madden, designer tommy hilfiger and “hamilton” producer sander jacobs, according to the los angeles times. they were widely linked to the sale of a $238 million new york city penthouse still the most expensive home ever sold in the u.s. to billionaire ken griffin in 2019. however, business insider reports the brothers exaggerated their role in the deal: they reportedly sent griffin marketing information on the building but ultimately didn't represent the billionaire, who accused them of making "self aggrandizing" statements taking credit for the sale. alon alexander, oren’s twin, works as an executive at the family’s private security firm, kent security, where his mother is cfo. tal and oren alexander moved to new york city together to launch their real estate careers in 2008. oren landed a job with douglas elliman realty and closed his first deal, a headline making $8.2 million sale of a penthouse at the park imperial in manhattan, when he was 21 years old. the real estate brothers attracted ulrta high worth clients by "living like they do," oren told business insider in 2012, and their social media accounts, set to private since their arrests, showed them on luxury vacations and at high profile events. earlier this year, alon and oren were accused by multiple women of sexual assault or rape. two women filed suit against the brothers in march and then five women spoke to the wall street journal about their own rapes or assaults. tal alexander wasn't named in either of the initial lawsuits, and distanced himself from his brothers upon their filing, until a woman accused him of participating in a coordinated sexual assault with alon in a june lawsuit. lawyers for all three brothers denied the allegations at the time. “oren and tal have a knack for being at the right event during art basel, at the right camp at burning man and at the right party at the oscars,” jay
