A real estate agent and a
Beverly Hills man have been
charged in a massive money-
laundering and burglary
scheme that targeted open
houses in wealthy enclaves,
with some of the homes be-
longing to celebrities, au-
thorities said.
Benjamin Eitan Acker-
man, 32, was initially ar-
rested a year ago in connec-
tion with a string of break-
ins in the Hollywood Hills,
Encino, Tarzana and Sher-
man Oaks. Although police
announced their investiga-
tion in January, no charges
were filed against Ackerman
at the time.
On Thursday, the Los
Angeles County district at-
torney’s office announced
that Ackerman and real es-
tate agent Jason Emil
Yaselli, 32, of Beverly Hills
had been charged in connec-
tion with the thefts.
Police said expensive art-
work, jewelry and liquor
were stolen from high-end
residences and may have
been resold.
The two men were
charged with 32 counts of
money laundering, 12 counts
of first-degree residential
burglary, two counts of first-
degree residential burglary
with a person present, two
counts of identity theft, one
count of conspiracy to com-
mit burglary and one count
of conspiracy to commit
money laundering, the
D.A.’s office said in a state-
ment.
Some of the homes tar-
geted belonged to celebrities
such as Adam Lambert,
Usher and former football
player Shaun Phillips.
Prosecutors say that be-
tween December 2016 and
August 2018, Yaselli encour-
aged Ackerman to steal
items from 14 homes, sell
them and use the profits to
pay off Yaselli’s credit card.
Each month, Ackerman
deposited between $5,500
and $20,000 into Yaselli’s ac-
count, according to the crim-
inal complaint.
The men are accused of
stealing more than $500,000.
Ackerman has pleaded
not guilty to the charges and
was released Tuesday after
posting bond.
He was first arrested in
connection with the thefts in
September 2018, but the dis-
trict attorney’s office de-
clined to charge Ackerman
and asked the LAPD to in-
vestigate further, said Paul
Eakins, a spokesman for the
D.A.’s office.
The Police Department
recently resubmitted the
case, and charges were filed
Aug. 15.
In an emailed statement,
Ackerman’s attorney, Gary
Kaufman, emphasized that
no charges were filed in Jan-
uary and said his client is in-
nocent.
“The district attorney’s
press release, by specifically
naming Usher Raymond
and Adam Lambert as al-
leged victims, only empha-
sizes what we have believed
from day one, that this is a
publicity-driven prose-
cution,” he said. “The peo-
ple’s case is no better today
than it was a year ago. Unlike
a fine wine, this case does
not get better with age.”
In a Jan. 2 news confer-
ence about Ackerman’s ar-
rest, police said they had re-
covered 2,000 high-end
items valued at millions of
dollars in his home and in a
storage unit.
LAPD Det. Jared Tim-
mons said at the time that
Ackerman had posed as an
interested buyer or a Realtor
in the scheme.
“When he showed up, he
was dressed to the nines,”
Timmons said. “He acted
the part. He was very slick.”
At the time, investigators
suspected Ackerman did
not work alone.
During their investiga-
tion, they found surveillance
videos that had been tamp-
ered with and cameras that
had been ripped out of their
settings.
“Cameras would simply
go black until several hours
after the burglary occurred,”
Timmons said.
The stolen items in-
cluded Chanel and Louis
Vuitton clothing and purses,
expensive jewelry and rare
artwork.
Yaselli was expected to
appear in court Friday and
remains in custody in lieu of
$1.73-million bail.
