United States Federal Witness Protection Program
Given the fact that Dwek acted as an informant in Operation Bid Rig against individuals allegedly involved in organized crime, as well as his being under heavy security during his court appearances, it is likely he would be eligible to enter the United States Federal Witness Protection Program following his eventual release from prison after a future sentencing date. The Syrian Jewish community in Monmouth County, New Jersey (where Dwek came from) was surprised that he became a government informant against other Syrian Jews because the community has a long-standing unwritten policy of blanket solidarity. After Solomon Dwek's role as an informant became public, his father Rabbi Isaac Dwek gave a speech at the Synagogue of Deal in which he stated that his son Solomon was no longer welcome at his home. He also denounced the practice of acting as a government informant against other Jews.
