Yaakov* emails: The world loves a “martyr” and to the Agudists Tropper was framed and all is denied, in spite of all the scandals and expulsions, Tropper still has access to top Haredi rabbis. He still has money. He looted the Kol Yaakov and EJF accounts for himself before resigning. He writes seforim and runs his nutty blog pontificating. He is a hoodlum and hoodlums remain “popular” even when they are brought down or pass on.
Yet again, Tropper rants against the Internet on his nutty “כבוד התורה” blog, even as HE uses the Internet to tell it over.
If one reads that blog regularly it can only be Tropper making such statements, see:
He attacks his rabbinic enemies that brought him down:
http://www.kavodhatora.com/2010/02/rdovid-ribiat-r-pinchas-rabinowitz-and.html “Sunday, February 7, 2010 R’Dovid Ribiat, R’ Pinchas Rabinowitz and R’ ben tzion Kokis Of monsey, NY Ignore the Psak of Maran Harav Steinman shlita”
He reports about his “old” yeshiva:

He praises his Monsey defender and enabler:

Still focuses on conversions:

Pontificates about kiruv:
http://www.kavodhatora.com/2010/11/new-sefer-on-rav-shach-view-of-kiruv.html “Sunday, November 7, 2010 New Sefer on Rav Shach’s View of Kiruv A new sefer on Kiruv, a collection of many Maamorim of Rav Shach, zt”l is being published.”

Promotes his own new seforim:

It was published by Rav Yehuda Tropper Zt”l. Since then it was published 10 more times. The author of the Taharas Yisroel received various haskamos. Mongst them is a Haskama from Maran Rav Chaim Halevi of Brisk Zt”l. The author also left unprinted a Sefer called “Kuntres Hateshuvos” on 4 Chelkei Shulchan Aruch. This Sefer was recently published by R’ Leib Tropper, founder of Yeshivas Kol Yaakov in Memory, of his most respected father….”
and many posts “condemning” the Internet (that helped to bring him down of course):
http://www.kavodhatora.com/2009/12/internet-sites.html “Thursday, December 17, 2009 Internet Sites A negative trend has become prevalent among various internet sites, which give a voice to the ideas and opinions of wicked people.”

To sum it all up, “if it talks like Tropper, sound like Tropper, looks like Tropper, seems like Tropper, prehudices like Tropper, enemies like Tropper, and acts like Tropper, and speaks like Tropper — it’s Tropper”! A duck needs less signs to be “certified” a duck!
Added to which he is VERY sly and knows how to play “cloak and daggers” not afraid to forge documents and signatures and make up facts and stories to suit his ends.
