Legal Conflicts
Levy is also known for his running legal battles with independent licensed investigator and noted electronic privacy researcher (and former JDO member) Steven Rombom, for which Rombom would ultimately sue Levy and the JDO for in 1997 alleging defamation, false light invasion of privacy, and incitement to violence., for his incessant attacks against ADL founder Abraham Foxman and others. Along with JDO activist A. J. Weberman, also known for his activism in the Youth International Party (Yippies,) Levy and the JDO were successfully sued for libel more recently and fined $850,000.
Levy claims to have done investigative work on such figures as American neo-Nazi Harold Covington and of Steven Hatfill, the one-time person of interest in the as-of-yet unsolved 2001 anthrax attacks; on the apparently ultra orthodox, and self proclaimed anti-Zionist Rabbi Moshe Aryeh Friedman,; and on the reputed Pakistani terror cult Jamaat ul-Fuqra.
