Dig DEEPER and you will find there is a very diffrent story and backround surrounding ‘Mark’-better known as Yehudah Seidenfeld .you see he is my husband ,but abandoned me an our 5 children several years ago,working in russia b/c there I could not ‘catch him ‘
he like to boast.true ,he seems to be innocent of this crime ,but he definitly deserves to suffer for a change instead of us. People want to keep me quiet ,b/c they want people to think ‘poor guy’.Well, what about poor family?! He didn’t give a damn about us,STILL doesn’t ,15 months of sitting in a russian jail cell has still not opene his eyes. but there is this tramp natya boasting shie is his fiance, so I feel people should know abt me and the children!
