The good times continue to roll for two New York City marshals whose work collecting debts for predatory lenders is making them millionaires.
Vadim Barbarovich, who already had the most lucrative city job in 2017, made 11 percent more last year, earning $1.9 million, according to documents released in response to a public-records request. His main competitor in collections work for the cash-advance industry, Stephen Biegel, almost doubled his take to $1.4 million.
