Federal agents are on the hunt for a former California Water Services Company employee who quit his job a few weeks ago, broke into the firm's computers to wire $9 million into overseas bank accounts and then fled the region when confronted with criminal charges in Santa Clara County.
In court documents filed today in federal court in San Jose, law enforcement officials have charged Abdirahman Ismail Abdi with unlawful flight from prosecution after he disappeared from the area earlier this month. Local prosecutors and police determined that Abdi has been trying to flee the country since at least May 1, when he tried to book a flight to London just days after police searched his South Bay home.
Court papers show that Abdi, 32, resigned from his job as an auditor for the San Jose-based water company on April 27, and was spotted by a janitor returning that night to the office of a former co-worker. The following morning, water officials discovered that Abdi had engineered three wire transfers totalling more than $9 million from the company's accounts to an account in Qatar. The accounts were frozen and the money returned to the water company, according to court papers.

Something tells me there’s a movie plot in this ......
he was ordered to be deported in 2005.. to Somalia.
DB Cooper is now retiring over seas
A MooseLimb???
Raiding the infidels coffers???
Abdirahman Ismail Abdi
funding terrorists?
Damned Amish...
That financial jihad stuff doesn't always pay off.
OH. That's rich. Sometimes, you really can't make this crap up.
Never trust a jihadist.
I say he conspired to commit terrorism.Catch him...convict him (military tribunal)....and string him up.
Always wondered if there is a "lawful" flight to avoid prosecution.
Probably just a slush fund for Starbucks coffee.
Maybe 0bama could invite to one of those WH Wed. night parties so he could receive a proper apology.
Thanks Obama.
Does ANYBODY take deportation orders seriously? It's gotta be akin to receiving a strongly worded letter from the UN.
With that last name, I was checking to see if he was Somali. The Somali who plotted to blow up a local mall had the same last name. Seems a common name for their country.
I guess it really is impossible to fire a government worker!
Not too much effort will be made to collar this Somalian criminal because the money was taken back from him. I sure hope his children are not US citizens...they could return to plague us
Nothing good comes from Somalia and Kenya has a border with it ....hmmmmm....
I guess it really is impossible to fire a government worker! ..................
That just might have been a privately owned water company he tried to rip off. My guess it was
I guess a Muslim with $9 million in cash is no danger to anyone...thank you, Congress, for your wonderful immigration policies since 1965...we are such a “better” nation.
He must have heard the term “Spread the wealth”.
When they find him no doubt they will forward his unemployment, social security and unemployment checks.
Those Irish Catholics sure are clever!
That’s what happens when you don’t use racial profiling.
Can anyone explain why the State Department has gone out of its way to provide visas to tens of thousands of Somalis? Are they trying to prove that immigrants from failed states make bad citizens?

Very good! Thanks for checking it out!
Emboldened. “It’s our world” time.
Years ago when someone robbed another of money, by armed robbery or embezzlement, they were executed. Since the punishment no longer fits the crime, what is there as a deterrent to these miscreants?
Someone needs to explain to me why every so often nasty remarks about the Amish are posted. Seems ignorant and crude without any reason to be rude or crude.
Its called humor. The Amish are the most nonviolent, least aggressive folk on the planet...everyone knows that... hence the tongue in cheek reference to the Amish in conjunction with crime...that’s what makes it funny.
Okay- it just does not seem funny much. I did have to kind of think “so?” at an article the other day- headline referred to an Amish teen driving his buggy while DUI. Realizing no teen should be driving drunk- at least he was no threat to anyone. The horse puling the buggy certainly knew where he was going.
LOL...now that’s funny
You surely jest!
It all has to do with the PC profiling bigotry following Sep. 11th.
No Muslim would ever be profiled by the government due to PC, but they strip-searched Norwegian grandmothers in the airports; no Muslim supporting group would ever get investigated, but conservative groups get wrung through the gauntlet.
So the comments started about Amish separatists and Norwegian senior-suicide squads because those are obviously who the government considers more of a threat than Muslim bombers.
And now we know for sure, because the DHS memo says we are.
