The three brothers who once ranked among Manhattan’s most visible luxury real-estate brokers are due to be sentenced on Monday, October 27, after a federal jury found them guilty in March 2026 of all ten counts of sex trafficking and sexual assault. Prosecutors are calling for life sentences for Oren, Alon and Tal Alexander.
The timing is hard to miss. On Sunday, Peacock launches The Wolves of Real Estate, a three-part docuseries from Vox Media Studios based on a New York Magazine investigation first published in August 2024. The report, titled “Everyone Knew About the A-Team,” examined how the brothers built social and professional standing in the city’s high-end property world while facing accusations that they assaulted more than a dozen women. Curbed, a sister outlet of New York Magazine, republished the story this week with updated context about the verdict and sentencing date.
The magazine’s reporting, based on more than 70 interviews with people who know the family or worked with the brothers, opens at a 2015 birthday party for twins Oren and Alon, then 28. The event was held in a $50 million Upper East Side townhouse that Oren and Tal were marketing at the time. According to the story, guests included Howard Lorber, chairman of Douglas Elliman, the brokerage where the brothers worked, as well as television broker Fredrik Eklund, developer Rotem Rosen and numerous models. The magazine described a scene of burlesque dancers and a half-naked woman on a table, with guests invited to drip hot wax on her.
“Even then, everybody knew,” one agent who worked with Oren and Tal told the magazine. The story stresses the limits of that knowledge: there were whispers and rumors about the brothers dating to their teenage years, but few in their professional circle grasped the scale of what prosecutors would later allege. Nine years after the party, the brothers were publicly accused of assaulting 16 women, sometimes as a group. “Obviously,” the agent said, “now we know it was so much worse.”
The investigation also traced the family’s origins in Bal Harbour, the affluent enclave on the north end of Miami Beach. Shlomy and Orly Alexander emigrated from Israel in the 1970s and founded Kent Security in the early 1980s, later running it with Orly’s brother, Gil Neuman. By the time the boys were teenagers, the firm had grown into one of South Florida’s largest security contractors, supplying guards for gated communities, private events and Miami City Hall. A former employee described a company culture in which “success is all that matters.”
The magazine recounted that the brothers attended Michael M. Krop Senior High School in North Miami, where they were well-known figures. Former classmates described a reputation for bullying. One police report cited in the story alleged that Tal threatened a former tennis teammate by phone. Oren later told an interviewer that the family’s wealth did not translate into spending money for the boys, despite their exposure to an affluent lifestyle.
For New York’s real-estate community, Monday’s hearing will close a chapter that has loomed over the luxury market since the allegations surfaced. It also arrives as the docuseries brings the story to a mass streaming audience.
