Arrest of Lana Zak Husband.

In April 2021, the law enforcers busted Zak’s husband, Andrew in New York City. The father of Lana’s three children was accused of using more than half of the allegedly stolen money from his Public School to maintain a bank account minimum. He allegedly did so to have a more favorable interest rate for a mortgage on his and Zak’s Manhattan residence. Zak, however, was not charged in the case.

As per the court documents, Andrew in 2019 looted a series of escrow accounts he had previously set up for individual schools within Democracy Prep’s network. He then used their funds to open a business account in the name of one of the schools at the bank.

He was charged with wire fraud, money laundering, and making false statements to a financial institution (altogether worth over $200,000), according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. The charges come with a maximum possible prison term of 30 years. Zak’s husband, however, is almost certain to get far less time than that if convicted, given federal sentencing guidelines. Apparently, Andrew and his reporter wife, Zak both had to yield their passports to the officials. The court let go of Andrew on a $500,000 bond. The authority, though, ordered him to remain in Vermont, where he lives.
