“We fell victim to someone who was able to inject themselves into an ongoing dialogue between ourselves and a payroll company,” said owner Bret Csencsitz.
Famed New York City hotspot Gotham Restaurant, an institution in Greenwich Village for four decades, filed for bankruptcy — two months after a $45,000 cyberscam forced the owner to shutter the popular eatery.
Gotham also is indebted to credit card and utility companies, and other service providers, according to the filing. Gotham’s problems escalated with the scam on May 10 when a thief sent an email to the company’s HR department and posed as the company’s payroll vendor.
