IMRAN AWAN got his first in to Capital Hill through this guy.
He also is involved in the "S. Daniel Abraham Center for Middle East Peace"
Congressional documents reveal:
All 44 House Democrats hiring Pakistani IT aides exempted them from background checks for Imran Awan, his family and other Muslim hires
Almost immediately after blindly hiring the staffers born in the Islamic terrorist-harboring nation of Pakistan, foul play was detected.
“IT staffer Imran Awan, his brothers Abid and Jamal, and their wives Natalia Sova and Hina Alvi, were highly paid IT administrators working for the House Democrats until Capitol Police began probing them in early 2017,” WND reported. “[I]n January, the aides sometimes even logged in as congressmen to cover their tracks. Authorities said there is evidence the members’ data may have been aggregated onto one server, which then was physically stolen.”
Considerable evidence against the Democrat-hired Pakistanis was uncovered, as it was revealed that a “ghost employee scheme” was allegedly run by the IT staffers, who absconded with approximately $6 million in recent years.
“After wiring approximately $300,000 to his native Pakistan in July, Imran Awan was arrested by the FBI at Dulles International Airport,” Moore informed. “He was then indicted on four counts of bank fraud in connection with his wire transfer. He was carrying $12,000 in cash on him at the time of his arrest, however, there have been no criminal charges related to the House IT breach. The indictments of two of the suspects were only for bank fraud – after prosecutors said the suspects transferred money from the House bank to Pakistan and tried to flee the country.”
Should have followed protocol …
A report by the inspector general indicates that background checks are recommended for server administrator positions that have access to all the emails and files of one-fifth of House Democrats, but each of the 44 congressional members waved background checks on Awan and other Pakistani IT aides, regardless.
“The House security policy requires offices to fill out a form attesting that they’ve initiated background checks – but it also includes a loophole allowing them to simply say that another member vouched for them,” the Daily Caller reported.
And the information such routine checks should have uncovered is substantial.
“Among the red flags in Abid’s background were a $1.1 million bankruptcy; six lawsuits against him or a company he owned; and at least three misdemeanor convictions, including [one] for [a] DUI and driving on a suspended license, according to Virginia court records,” Daily Caller Investigative Reporter Luke Rosiak divulged. “Public court records show that Imran and Abid operated a car dealership referred to as CIA that took $100,000 from an Iraqi government official who is a fugitive from U.S. authorities. Numerous members of the family were tied to cryptic LLCs such as New Dawn 2001, operated out of Imran’s residence, Virginia corporation records show. Imran was the subject of repeated calls to police by multiple women and had multiple misdemeanor convictions for driving offenses, according to court records.”
Officials insist that appropriate screening by House Dems would have avoided the Pakistanis’ scandalous security breach and theft.
“The House inspector general reported on Sept. 20, 2016, that shortly before the election members of the group were logging into servers of members they didn’t work for, logging in using congressmen’s personal usernames, uploading data off the House network, and behaving in ways that suggested ‘nefarious purposes’ and that ‘steps are being taken to conceal their activity,’” Rosiak noted. “A pair of closely held reports on Imran Awan, his brothers Abid and Jamal, his wife Hina Alvi, and his friend Rao Abbas, said, ‘the shared employees have not been vetted (e.g. background check).’”
The loose hiring protocol followed by congressional Democrats appears to be more lax than standards held by your local fast food restaurant when looking for temporary help.
Based upon records obtained from the Fairfax County Courthouse, ALVI purchased 4809 Sprayer Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22309 (hereinafter, the
“
Sprayer Street Property
”)
on November 7, 2014, for $187,500.00.
For the foregoing reasons, your Affiant submits there is probable cause to believe that AWAN and his wife, ALVI, engaged in a scheme to defraud CFCU, by obtaining a HELOC loan based on two material misrepresentations made to CFCU, a financial institution with deposits insured by the FDIC: (1) a misrepresentation regarding their use of the Sprayer Street Property as a primary residence and not as a rental property; and (2) a separate misrepresentation; regarding
ALVI’s intention to use the Sprayer Street Property as her permanent residence following the
closing of the HELOC loan even though she was renting the property to Person C at the time. These misrepresentations were material and caused CFCU to provide AWAN and his wife, ALVI, with a HELOC loan in the amount of $165,000.
I'm sure Wexner touched some little kids in the underground tunnels on Epstein Island.
In 1982, according to those who know Epstein, he set up his own shop, J. Epstein and Co., which remains his core business today. The premise behind it was simple: Epstein would manage the individual and family fortunes of clients with $1 billion or more. Which is where the mystery deepens. Because according to the lore, Epstein, in 1982, immediately began collecting clients. There were no road shows, no whiz-bang marketing demos – just this: Jeff Epstein was open for business for those with $1 billion–plus.
His firm would be different, too. He was not here just to offer investment advice; he saw himself as the financial architect of every aspect of his client's wealth – from investments to philanthropy to tax planning to security to assuaging the guilt and burdens that large sums of inherited wealth can bring on. "I want people to understand the power, the responsibility, and the burden of their money," he said to a colleague at the time.
As a teacher at Dalton, he had witnessed firsthand the troubled attitudes of some of the poor little rich kids under his charge; at Bear, he had come to the realization that, counterintuitively, the more money you had, the more anxious you became. For a middle-class kid from Brooklyn, it just didn't make sense.
From the get-go, his business was successful. But the conditions for investing with Epstein were steep: He would take total control of the billion dollars, charge a flat fee, and assume power of attorney to do whatever he thought was necessary to advance his client's financial cause. And he remained true to the $1 billion entry fee. According to people who know him, if you were worth $700 million and felt the need for the services of Epstein and Co., you would receive a not-so-polite no-thank-you from Epstein.
It's nice work if you can get it. Epstein runs a lean operation, and those close to him say that his actual staff – based here in Manhattan at the Villard House (home to Le Cirque); New Albany, Ohio; and St. Thomas, where he reincorporated his company seven years ago (now called Financial Trust Co.) – numbers around 150 and is purely administrative. When it comes to putting these billions to work in the markets, it is Epstein himself making all the investment calls – there are no analysts or portfolio managers, just twenty accountants to keep the wheels greased and a bevy of assistants – many of them conspicuously attractive young women – to organize his hectic life. So assuming, conservatively, a fee of .5 percent (he takes no commissions or percentages) on $15 billion, that makes for a management fee of $75 million a year straight into Jeff Epstein's pocket. Nice work indeed.
It has been rumored that Linda Wachner and David Rockefeller have been clients, too, but both parties deny any such relationship. What's more, who ever heard of a financial adviser turning down $500 million accounts? All the speculation and mystery has proved fertile ground for some alternative Jeffrey Epstein stories – the most bizarre of which has him playing the piano (he is classically trained) for high rollers in a Manhattan piano bar in the mid-eighties.
Another focus of curiosity is the relationship that Epstein has with his patron and mentor Leslie Wexner, founder and chairman of the Columbus, Ohio–based Limited chain of women's-clothing stores. Wexner, who is said to be worth more than $2.5 billion by Forbes, became an Epstein client in 1987. "It's a weird relationship," says another Wall Streeter who knows Epstein. "It's just not typical for someone of such enormous wealth to all of a sudden give his money to some guy most people have never heard of." The Wexner-Epstein relationship is indeed a multifaceted one.
Given the secrecy that envelops Epstein's client list, some have speculated that Wexner is the primary source of Epstein's lavish life – but friends leap to his defense. "Let me tell you: Jeffrey Epstein has other clients besides Wexner. I know because some of them are my clients," says noted m&a lawyer Dennis Block of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft. "I sent him a $500 million client a few years ago and he wouldn't take him. Said the account was too small. Both the client and I were amazed. But that's Jeffrey."
Epstein' s current residence in Manhattan – a 45,000-square-foot eight-story mansion on East 71st Street – was originally bought by Wexner for $13 million in 1989. Wexner poured many millions into a full gut renovation, then turned it over to Epstein in 1995 after he got married. One story has Epstein paying only a dollar for it, though others say he paid full market price, which would have been in the neighborhood of $20 million. Epstein then undertook his own $10 million gut renovation (special features: closed-circuit TV and a heated sidewalk in front of the house for melting snow), saying to friends: "I don't want to live in another person's house."
