Ashburn Woman Sought In $50M Mortgage Scheme
Members of the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office and the Office of the Virginia Attorney General are on the hunt for an Ashburn woman indicted Monday in a $50 million mortgage scheme.
Diane H. Frederick Atari, 42, is accused of fraudulently fixing clients’ credit status and inflating their income on financial records to place them into homes they could not afford. Atari allegedly illegally obtained monies in excess of $1 million in the scheme. The total loss on these fraudulently obtained mortgages is estimated at more than $50 million dollars and authorities believe that more than 100 potential homebuyers may have been victims of her scheme.
Authorities believe Atari left the country last week and is possibly in Jordan. Local law enforcement has contacted INTERPOL to assist in locating Atari. According to Howard Mulholland, investigator with the Virginia Attorney General’s office, authorities believe Atari may be staying with members of her ex-husband’s family who live in the Middle Eastern country.......

I have a feeling that this thread is going to get very, very busy again.
Posting UBL transcript link from 7/11. Hat tip to Casey for the transcript and thanks to a special freeper for calling it to attention.

UBL quote that makes ya shudder:
“It is only a matter of days until we part with this world. Tomorrow we will be placed in our graves, and indeed tomorrow is near for one who sees.”
Here’s an update:
BBC News ^ | July 16, 2009
At least four people have been killed in two separate explosions at luxury hotels in the Indonesian capital Jakarta, say reports.
The country’s Metro TV reported that one blast hit the Ritz-Carlton and the other, the Marriott Hotel. Television footage showed the facade of one of the hotels had been torn off by the blast.
The BBC’s Karishma Vaswani, outside the Marriott, said ambulances are present and security is extremely tight.
South Jakarta police Col Firman Bundi said the four who died were foreigners, reported AP. “There were explosions heard from two separate places, one the JW Marriott, the other in the Ritz Carlton,” he said.

Thanks, LucyT. From the article at LucyT’s link:
“The explosions come two weeks after presidential elections in Indonesia.”
Thanks for the ping Velveeta, and for the post West coast gal and for the update Lucy T.
You’re welcome, Cindy.
Thank you too for your pings - I’ll be watching.
On the evening of the 14th I had the craziest dream. It was one of those that seemed to last all night and drone on forever. I was a customer at some business, my sales rep was also the owner. I kept seeing him typing on a keyboard. When I noticed the symbols on it were Arabic, I asked if he spoke Farsi (??) He said yes. I then noticed that his suit jacket was very expensive. Immediately after noticing that, I thought, “This guy is Iranian.” Then I woke.
Sometimes I leave the TV on, almost always set to Fox News. As I was waking, the breaking news gong sounded to announce the plane crash in Iran.
That was a strange experience.
Anyhoo — hello all and thanks Vel for another TM.
...funny you should mention dreams.
Been flashing back for the past two weeks, but last night was a REAL winner: Runnin’ in the jungle, wearin’ greens and packin’ an M-60 in between being scared ****less along with everybody around me.
Reality check: I was Navy Training Command puke and didn’t get close to shooting except in simulations.
Hmmmm.
Good thing Grandma got us both new shotguns for my birthday, I think.
A little something to put things in perspective...
After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park , forest rangers
Began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno’s damage.
One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick.
When he gently struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under their dead mother’s wings. The loving mother, keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the tree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise.
She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her babies. Then the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her small body, the mother had remained steadfast ..because she had
been willing to die, so those under the cover of her wings would live.
‘He will cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you will find refuge.’
(Psalm 91:4)
Awww, what a bittersweet story. Thanks for posting it.
Hope often calls for sacrifice. What a beautiful story.
