NY Gynecologist Accused of Sexual Assault by Andrew Yang’s Wife, Dozens of Others, Has Been Arrested

NEW YORK — Robert Hadden was arrested this morning and charged with enticing and inducing six victims to travel interstate to engage in illegal sexual activity.The indictment unsealed todayalleges that from at least in or about 1993, up to and including at least in or about 2012,Hadden enticed and induced dozens of victims, including minors, to travel to his medical offices in New York, New York, at least in part for the purpose of subjecting them to unlawful sexual abuse.

Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said: “As alleged, between 1993 and 2012, Robert Hadden sexually abused dozens of women and girls during Ob/Gyn examinations at his medical offices in Manhattan. Hadden allegedly used the examinations of his victims for his own sexual gratification, abusing dozens of victims over a nearly 20-year period, including multiple minor girls, one of whom Hadden had himself delivered. The allegations show that Hadden acted as a predator in a white coat. He allegedly used the cover of conducting medical examinations to engage in sexual abuse that he passed off as normal and medically necessary, when it was neither normal nor necessary – it was criminal. I want to thank and commend the brave women who were willing to come forward to tell us what happened to them, without whom these charges could not have been brought.”

FBI Assistant Director William F. Sweeney Jr. said: “The abusive behavior alleged here took place over the course of nearly two decades, which means there could be many victims out there we have not heard from. We are asking anyone seeing this information to reach out to us. We want you to know FBI special agents, NYPD detectives, analysts, victim specialists, and prosecutors investigating this case are here for each and every one of you, and we are your advocates. It is important to remember nothing Dr. Hadden has done was, or ever will be, your fault. We see time and time again that voices matter, and those who have stepped forward have empowered others to do the same. If you have been victimized by Robert Hadden in any way, or have any additional information about his alleged illegal behavior, please call us at 1-800-CALL-FBI, or reach out to us at www.tips.fbi.gov.”

According to the Indictment unsealed today in Manhattan federal court:

Over more than a decade, Hadden sexually abused dozens of female patients, including multiple minors, under the guise of conducting purported gynecological and obstetric examinations at his medical offices and at hospitals in New York, New York.

OPERATION LEGEND IN MEMPHIS: 302 arrests made, 85 firearms seized so far, feds say

Memphis, TN – United States Attorney D. Michael Dunavant announced today that a total of 302 arrests have been made by local and federal law enforcement officers so far as part of Operation LeGend.

Between August 6 and September 8, 2020, federal and local law enforcement agencies in the Operation LeGend Task Force have worked cooperatively to arrest 106 people on new state and federal charges. Ninety of those arrests were for state charges and 16 of the arrests were for federal violations.

In addition to the 106 arrests, several seizures were made during Operation LeGend activities. The seized items include:

• 85 firearms;

• 6.3 kilograms of methamphetamine and 4 kilograms of heroin; and

• $191,645 in U.S. currency.

The seizure of the firearms is significant since the available information demonstrates that firearms are used in a high percentage of murders and aggravated assaults committed in Memphis.

In the first month of Operation LeGend in Memphis, a total of 16 defendants have been charged with new federal crimes:

• 9 defendants have been charged with federal firearms violations;

• 4 defendants have been charged with violating federal drug laws; and

• 3 defendants have been charged with federal violent crimes such as bank robbery, carjacking, and the robbery of a business engaged in interstate commerce.

Illustrative federal cases include the following examples:

United States v. DeQuan Johnson – DeQuan Johnson, of Memphis, was charged on August 25, 2020, with unlawful possession of a firearm by a drug user. According to the charging document, in January 2020, the ATF assisted the USMS with the arrest of Johnson, who was wanted by police for reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault stemming from a shooting incident that occurred on November 24, 2019.

It is alleged that on November 24, 2019, Memphis Police Department officers responded to a shooting in which victims reported that two men approached the back porch of their residence and began firing shots into the residence, which was filled with 12 people. One of the victims reported hearing approximately 15 gunshots coming from the back of the residence, and local police subsequently collected 15 spent cartridge casings from the scene. The investigation led to Johnson, who was positively identified by one of the victims.

On January 22, 2020, members of the USMS Fugitive Task Force made contact with Johnson at his residence in Memphis. During a protective search of Johnson’s home, law enforcement located a loaded Smith & Wesson, Model SD40 VE, .40 caliber pistol; an extended magazine containing 20 .40 caliber rounds of ammunition; and marijuana. Because Johnson had active warrants out for his arrest, he was taken into custody.

United States v. Robert Michael Durham– The defendant in this case committed a series of robberies on July 30, 2020, and is charged with robbing the City of Memphis Credit Union. In addition, Durham, as set out in the federal criminal complaint, confessed to robbing the credit union and attempting to rob a CVS Pharmacy, two nurses at a local hospital, and a second bank. Durham, who has a prior federal conviction for bank robbery, was apprehended on August 5, 2020, in Southaven, Mississippi, where he was also charged with driving a stolen vehicle and drug-related charges.

United States v. Jarvis Warren – Warren was wanted on outstanding warrants for carjacking, aggravated robbery and extortion. When officers tried to arrest him, he was driving a stolen BMW. Warren eventually crashed into a fire hydrant and was arrested. He was found to be in possession of a stolen handgun loaded with 30 rounds of ammunition, marijuana, and digital scales. Warren was charged with federal narcotics and firearms offenses.

Pompeo: 'Substantial' Chance Alleged Navalny 'Poisoning' Ordered by 'Senior Russian Officials'

Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny felt ill on 20 August when flying from Tomsk to Moscow. After receiving initial treatment in the Russian city of Omsk, he was transfered to the Charite hospital in Berlin. Later, Germany announced that Navalny was "poisoned" with a Novichok group nerve agent - however, without providing any medical data.

US State Secretary Mike Pompeo asserted on Wednesday that there is a "substantial chance" that what is described as Alexei Navalny's "poisoning" came from "senior Russian officials".

Speaking to Ben Shapiro on a radio show, Pompeo reiterated that the EU and the US "have all made clear" to Russia their expectations that Moscow will "hold those responsible for this accountable".

"I think people all around the world see this kind of activity for what it is", Pompeo said. "And when they see the effort to poison a dissident, and they recognize that there is a substantial chance that this actually came from senior Russian officials, I think this is not good for the Russian people. I think it’s not good for Russia".

State Secretary also noted that the United States will "do our best to come to a conclusion about who was responsible too".

His comments come after US President Donald Trump's said last week that the US did not receive any proof of the alleged "poisoning". Trump also said that Washington will look into the situation "very seriously", also noting that he had no reason to doubt German results.

Berlin claims that Navalny was poisoned, despite the fact that medics in Omsk, where Navalny received initial treatment after feeling ill on 20 August, found no traces of toxic substances in his system.

Commenting on the allegations, Russia pointed out that the claims lacked evidence, urging Germany to provide all available data on the matter, including the results of the Bundeswehr's laboratory tests and "evidence" obtained by the German Foreign Ministry.

JPMorgan Finds Some Employees "Illegally Pocketed" Covid-Relief Funds

Yesterday, when we first reported that JPMorgan was probing its employees' role in abuse of PPP funds following reports of "instances in which Covid-relief funds were misused by customers and is probing employees’ involvement in the potentially illegal activities", we said that it was about time the role of banks was put under the microscope because " while it was easy to blame the administration for rushing to hand out hundreds of billions in grants/loans (without which the US economy would still be in a depression), a key question is how and why did the private banks that were gatekeepers for all this capital, allow such abuse to take place."

Well, it now turns out that not only did JPM employees allegedly enable fraud by clients when obtaining PPP loans, the largest US bank also found that some of its employees themselves "improperly applied for and received", i.e. stole, Covid-relief money that was intended for legitimate U.S. businesses hurt by the pandemic, according to Bloomberg.

The bank discovered the actions, which were tied to the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program, "after noticing that suspicious amounts of money had been deposited into checking accounts owned by bank employees." The findings prompted an unusual all-staff message from JPMorgan Tuesday which according to Bloomberg "puzzled many across the industry for its candid admission of potentially illegal acts by some of its own while not describing what they had done."

What is odd, is that unlike with the Paycheck Protection Program, banks didn’t issue or underwrite the disaster loans and grants. Instead, loans or grants came directly from the SBA, which raises questions how employees of the largest US commercial bank intermediated themselves in a process that should have been streamlined without middle-men.

JPM's surprising findings of illegal employee activity come amid a broader sweep of individual accounts that received business aid. On July 22, the SBA warned banks to be on the lookout for suspicious deposits or activity as part of the EIDL program. The SBA's inspector general has also flagged evidence of fraud in the program, saying it identified more than $250 million in aid given to potentially ineligible recipients as well as $45.6 million in possibly duplicate payments. A Bloomberg analysis of SBA data last month identified $1.3 billion in suspicious payments.

As a result, prosecutors have brought charges against more than 20 businesses for fraud under the CARES Act, which authorized the PPP loan program, and a recent report by the House Committee on Oversight suggested that there could have been billions of dollars worth of fraud in the PPP program. Rep. James Clyburn, a Democrat from South Carolina, called on the inspectors general of the U.S. Treasury Department and SBA to investigate the program.

“The SBA does not comment on individual borrowers. Evidence of waste, fraud, and abuse with any of SBA’s loan programs is not tolerated and should be reported. … The SBA successfully distributed 5.21 million loans and $525 billion to small businesses in an unprecedented amount of time, through the Paycheck Payment Program,” the SBA said, misstating the name of the Paycheck Protection Program.

"This is going to be the biggest fraud in government history, the magnitude of which we will not know for many years to come," said Vic Hartman, a former FBI agent and author of a 2019 book about fraud based on lessons from his career.

As such, it is hardly a surprise that banks are involved.
