BOYNTON BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2023 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — A Delray Beach man is facing fraud and larceny charges after police say he was involved in a months-long scheme to defraud B.J.’s Wholesale Club in Boynton Beach. With the help of a B.J.’s employee, Len Roitman allegedly entered more than $60,000 worth of fake coupon codes while using a self-checkout lane in the store.
The scheme started in November of 2022 and continued until B.J.’s in-house security team — working with the Boynton Beach Police Department — nabbed Roitman and a store employee late last week.
According to an arrest report reviewed by BocaNewsNow.com, Roitman asked for help back in November when he was having a problem using the self-checkout lane. The store employee allegedly used what’s known as a “Type B Coupon Key” code to help Roitman — that code apparently permits any coupon value to be entered. Over the weeks and months that followed, Roitman sought out the employee, Justice Buonsante, during his trips to B.J.’s.
Buonsante, who later told police that she received no compensation from Roitman, allegedly helped Roitman defraud B.J.’s out of more than $63,000 through 79 transactions. At the time of his arrest. Roitman — according to police — had just paid $3.11 for $1208 worth of merchandise.
Roitman is being held in the Palm Beach County Jail in lieu of $30,000 bond. His home address is listed as the 3100 block of West Latitude Circle in Delray Beach.
