Federal authorities arrested Stefan Pildes, 50, on Wednesday for allegedly defrauding donors in the NYC SantaCon charity fundraiser. From 2019 to 2024, he raised $2.7 million but donated only a small fraction to charity, using the funds for personal expenses like renovations and luxury vacations. Pildes awaits his initial court appearance in Manhattan.
