The guy mentioned in this article (about some debt collection center in Isamabad) is Kashif Siddiqi. Probably no relation? Probably a common Pakistani surname.

The NYT identified him as Sohale Siddiqi in this link.
In Obama’s book, he amazingly didn’t identify his good and long time friend by his real name.
He called him Sadik.
And Barry left Siddiqi off the guest list last week for his White House Ramadan blow out.
He did however invite his other Muslim roommates and Pakistan traveling companions- Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid.
Maybe it was payback for Siddiqi telling an interviewer that Barry finally quit drugs when he lived in NYC,
when Barry claimed he put his crack pipe down - back in Hawaii.
It’s hard to know whom to believe-Obama or a drug dealer....
