I wrote an article on the strange case of Imran Awan about two months ago. To summarize it briefly, Awan, his two brothers and wife, naturalized U.S. citizens born in Pakistan living in the Washington DC area, found employment as IT administrators in the House of Representatives working for as many as 80 Democratic Party congressmen. Even though they may have had little actual training in IT, they insinuated themselves into the system and were paid in excess of $5 million over the course of ten years, chief-of-staff level pay, while frequently not even showing up for work. They even brought into the arrangement a frequent no-show Pakistani friend whose prior work history consisted of getting recently fired by McDonalds.
Along the way, their security files were never reviewed. They were involved in bankruptcies, bank fraud and other criminal activity, but their troublesome behavior was never noticed. They were on bad terms with their father and step-mother, which including forging a document to cheat their step-mother of an insurance payment and even holding her captive so she could not see their dying father. Their father even changed his last name to dissociate himself from them.

Actually, Imran did appear in court......to ask that his GPS be removed.

A former House of Representatives IT aide was arraigned in federal court Friday on four felony fraud charges, appearing with three attorneys including Chris Gowen, a former close aide to Hillary and Bill Clinton.
Atty Gowen asked that Imran Awans GPS monitoring bracelet be removed, citing that Imran might need to attend to an emergency with his children. In a press conference outside court, Gowen admitted that the children are in Pakistan and refused to explain the discrepancy. His ability to parent, which may well be single parenting, if there is an emergency Gowen said.
Atty Gowen also asked for other restrictions on his movement to be lifted, saying he has been driving for Uber, but the company had no record of any driver in their employ matching several variations of Imrans name.
US Prosecutor Michael Mirando opposed the motions, saying Imran is a severe flight risk. From Day 1 there was a pattern of flight. It began September 2016
a pattern of transfers to Pakistan, hundreds of thoudands of dollars, he said. The judge has not ruled on the motion. --SNIP--
Thanks for the update. I never saw this anywhere. Was he released?
Imran was originally nabbed, absconding to Pakistan, charged w/ the bank scam, then released......reportedly living w/ his brother.
The purpose of the court date details I posted was to manipulate the judge......Imran wants out of the GPS tracking system.
At that writing, the judge had not yet ruled.
It was posted on FR......a good way to keep updated is to search-term "itgate" on FR.
All of the security breach stories will be listed.
Thanks for the tip. It may have been a weekend.
