Overview

• FBI agents arrested Rubin at his Fairfield, Connecticut, home, and he was due to be arraigned Friday afternoon in Brooklyn federal court.
• Jennifer Powers, Rubin's former personal assistant, was arrested in Texas and is scheduled to appear in federal court there Monday, with an additional bank-fraud charge tied to her mortgage.
• Prosecutors describe encounters in New York luxury hotels and a Manhattan penthouse outfitted as a BDSM 'sex dungeon'.
• The indictment alleges sex trafficking of six women, violations of the Mann Act for cross‑state transport, conduct beyond consent, and the use of NDAs to threaten legal and reputational harm.
• Prosecutors say Rubin's money funded at least $1 million in payments moved by wire or services like PayPal and Venmo, with transfers allegedly structured to avoid bank reporting; if convicted, the sex‑trafficking counts carry a 15‑year mandatory minimum and a potential life sentence.
