SIOUX FALLS, SD — Two kosher meat sellers who regularly bought from Agriprocessors Inc. testified today that they were unaware that the eastern Iowa slaughterhouse allegedly attached their business names to made-up debts which were then used to defraud a bank.

But one of the sellers, Aaron Tzivin, who owns the Crown Heights House of Glatt in Brooklyn, N.Y, told jurors that he still has a good relationship with the plant's former owners, the Rubashkin family.
