Hey WAPO !!! ...welcome to the party, pal.
Others have done months of digging to include having an inside source and you now throw your 2 cents worth of conjecture and provide cover for House Rats and the Awans ?
and BTW...you fail to mention Natalia Sova, so there are 6 not 5 involved here.
There is another one to add to Awans crew: Haseeb Rana. He was a high school friend who Awan hired. Apparently he was a knowledgeable IT guy who Awan made do any real work. He quit after shouldering the burden for a few months.
