Menachem ("Max") Stark (July 15, 1974 – January 3, 2014) was an American real estate developer whose badly burned body was found smoldering in a dumpster outside a gas station in Great Neck, New York.
The cousins Erskine Felix, Kendel Felix, Kendall Felix, and Irvine Henry were arrested and eventually convicted of the crime.
Erskine worked for Stark, a prominent member of the Satmar Hasidic community in the Williamsburg neighborhood of New York City.
Claiming that Stark owed him money, Erskine recruited his cousins to help in a botched robbery of Stark that instead turned into a homicide.
The New York Post featured a front page image of Stark on the front page with the headline "Who Didn't Want Him Dead?" The headline, referring to the notion that Stark had acquired a number of enemies during the course of his real estate dealings, sparked condemnation from the public for showing insensitivity towards the victim and for seemingly to condone crime.
