A Connecticut nursing home operator who stole millions of dollars from his employee benefit plans is going to prison. His victims were left with unpaid medical bills and pension benefits.

Federal prosecutors said Chaim Stern, 72, of New York diverted hundreds of thousands of dollars to personal expenses. But they said Stern diverted far more to a faith-based charity he controlled in New York in an effort to maintain his position as a leader in his Hasidic community.
