Elmo has fallen on hard times
A crackpot Times Square performer who was once busted making anti-Semitic slurs while dressed as Elmo admitted Wednesday he tried to extort $2 million from the Girl Scouts.
Dan Sandler is expected to get two years in jail in exchange for his plea to attempted grand larceny and stalking through a deal struck with prosecutors in Manhattan Supreme Court.
Prosecutors said Sandler, 49, sent "alarming" and "bizarre" emails to a Girl Scouts supervisor beginning in July 2012.
He had previously done work for the organization through a temp agency, but the term of employment ended in 2008.
Sandler admitted to trying to get them to pay up by threatening to publicize bogus lies, such as that sex with young girls at scout camp was set up and condoned by the institution.
He is expected to be sentenced to jail time when he next appears in court on Oct. 9.
"I want to continue doing my Elmo gig because I make a lot of money. I want to do that the rest of my life. I should have gone to law school instead of doing the e-learning," the weirdo allegedly blabbed to authorities after his June 5 arrest.
He was previously busted on Sept. 18, 2012 for blocking traffic and resisting arrest while shouting about hating "the Jews."
"The Jews are responsible for everything that's wrong with the world!" the nutjob said.
He faced up to 15 years in prison on the top count in the indictment.
