When the Lakewood Matzo bakery opened up they had the Hashgocha of Weisner's KCL & M. B. Klein Satmar Dayan. KCL came up with demands that were only there for the FACADE "it looks good to the naresher velt", nothing at all pertaining to kashrus. It did add to the cost of the bakery. Shortly after the Lakewood Matzo bakery figured out that as far as kashrus is concerned "nobody is home". As far the expense of Facade-looking good to the velt, we don't need it. So the Lakewood Matzo bakery told them to take a hike. Rabbi S. M. Katz took it over.
On the other hand the restaurants, bakeries, take outs, caterers, etc jumped on the bandwagon as that is what they wanted- Kashrus? "no one is home by the KCL". As far as Facade? they can fool the people par excellant. Just what the doctor prescribed.
They love the no consistency policy. In places where even if they employee a full time mashgiach, it would not help-They don't require a full time mashgiach, only goes in to give a shmeck (and get his entitlements). Some establishments the mashgiach should be the ONLY one that has the keys, & the KCL doesn't require a full time mashgiach.
While in other places they would put 2-3 mashgichim when it serves no purpose as far as kashrus, but for the facade "it's a beauty". Just observe the 2-3 mashgichim all shmoozing together and the workers moving food in & out from one floor to the next in & out of the ovens while the masshgichim are oblivious & shmoozing. Weisner's KCL says "We have 3 mashgichim on the job".
As an asides: If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there.

Are these mashgichim part of the work study program?
Sounds like the elevator attendant for the BMG dorm when the elevator hasn't worked in 40 years.
It seams that weisner is the big issue not the mashgichim that work for him. Cant you speak to the rabbonim on the kcl to have him replaced as administrator

an FDA inspection found cephalosporin—the antibiotic it tried to ban in 2008—directly injected into eggs at a U.S. hatchery.
Of course there are other ways to attack bacteria. Scientists are looking at algeliferin, isolated from sponge (aquatic animal), which can break down bacteria's biofilm barrier
But scientists are also looking at seraticin, an antibiotic from green bottle fly maggots and bacteriophages, intracellular parasites that multiply inside bacteria like viruses—century-old therapies used before antibiotics were even invented.
That picture of Al Capone ymach shmo from Chicago gangsterland is not so veit from reality.
The Ridbaz was a rov in Chicago 100 years ago and had to flee the city on Shabbos when he found out people he exposed for kashrus violations were sending thugs to kill him.
Dovi Kahan and mayshorim were Matir. it is Kosher!

A Baltimore rabbi could be turning a false profit.
Menachem Youlus drew fame in the last decade for unearthing supposed Holocaust-era Torahs hidden in mass graves, monasteries and concentration camps throughout Europe, but many of those discoveries appear to be fakes, according to a new report.
Spinning sensational yarns of his hunts for sacred scrolls, the 48-year-old rabbi earned the moniker "The Indiana Jones of Torah Scribes" and sold the texts to US synagogues and Jewish families for $6,000 to $15,000.
One of the 1,100 recovered Torahs was bought by billionaire investor David Rubenstein and donated in 2008 to Manhattan's Central Synagogue.
But The Washington Post poked holes in stories behind the Torahs' origins, raising doubts about their authenticity.
Youlus sold a Virginia synagogue a Torah he claimed to have found in the floorboards of Bergen-Belsen, a German concentration camp. But the camp's historian told the newspaper that no such discovery occurred.
Central Synagogue's Torah also has a dubious provenance. Youlus claimed he secretly unearthed it in 2004 in a cemetery near Auschwitz, the Polish concentration camp.
Youlus, however, could not provide the newspaper with a single name or document to back up the tale.

NPR interviewed Rabbi Youlus. But the story was never broadcast. “They could not confirm any of the facts Rabbi Youlus presented them,” Lunden says.
He and Wexler intensified their research after the New York Times reported on the Central Synagogue ceremony two years ago. He and his co-author, aided by a journalist in Poland, started researching the rabbi’s story. “Nobody” in the area of Auschwitz “was aware of Youlus and him digging there,” Lunden says. The journalists investigated other parts of the rabbi’s stories, then contacted Rabbi Youlus again. “He just changed a lot of the details.”
“In a three-hour interview, Youlus is unable to provide a single name, date, place, photograph or document to back up the Auschwitz stories or any of the others,” the article states. “He says that until Save a Torah was founded in 2004, he kept no records. He refers all requests for documentation since then to the foundation’s president, investment banker Rick Zitelman of Rockville [Md.]. But in a late December meeting at The Washington Post, Zitelman, 54, shows no documentation for any of the scrolls, despite requests. Zitelman says the only paperwork he gets from Youlus is an invoice the rabbi himself writes up for each Torah.”
