The Awan gang may have engaged in myriad other questionable schemes besides allegedly placing “ghost employees” on the congressional payroll. Imran Awan, his wife Hina, and brothers Abid and Jamal collectively netted more than $4 million in salary as IT administrators for House Democrats between 2009 and 2017. Yet the absence of signs of wealth displayed among them raise questions such as was the money sent overseas or did something other than paychecks motivate their actions?
But official documents, court records and multiple interviews suggest the crew may have engaged in tax fraud, extortion, bankruptcy fraud and insurance fraud and the money could have been funneled overseas. Abid has hired high-profile attorney James Bacon who specializes in anti-money laundering litigation.
The family owns significant amounts of Virginia rental properties, which are heavily financed, with second mortgages sometimes taken out. It’s unclear where the rental income goes because the Awans insist tenants pay in odd ways. The Daily Caller News foundation interviewed multiple current and former tenants who said Imran insisted rent be paid in untraceable ways.
"He only wants cash — for the security deposit, everything. The mortgage is probably $600, we pay $1,800 a month,” one said. “I would write the rent to all sorts of different people,” another claimed. While still another tenant said the family insisted on blank money orders. (Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...

UPDATE Xavier Becerra is now California's top L/E officer. His employment of Imran raises serious questions about Becerra's law enforcement abilities and his qualifications for office.
ITEM--- The Awan clan is under investigation for double-billing Congress, for stealing House members' electronics for resale, for placing no-shows on the House payroll.
<><> Did Becerra ever file a police report about missing/stolen govt-issue equipment?
<><> Did Becerra ever alert federal L/E authorities that Imran stole tax dollars?
<><> Did Becerra ever file a police report about falsified official govt documents and that tax dollars went missing due to ghost employees Imran placed on the Congressional payroll.
<><> Did Becerra ever issue a warning to his constituents that their emails and private info had been compromised?
NOTE: The Awan clan had access to all of Becerra's emails and Congressional correspondence. This means they have Becerra's constituents' SS nos and personal info.....b/c constituents are required to give the member their SS no when corresponding w/ the member.

So Amran did not show income coming in on his income property investments? Did he ever file a Schedule E? That is an IRS tax form for rental and investment income. I have filed that form for over 18 years now, am very careful about rental deposits and expenses. I have not deposited cash occasionally, but always? I would be scared to not show any income from my income properties for years on end.
Maybe since he was a foreigner he did not know the tax code concerning property investment, maybe that is why he never got audited as he had no intent to defraud, because he was from Pakistan and did not know our tax laws?
