WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge Tuesday ordered a former District of Columbia employee facing corruption charges to remain jailed in a case that prompted his former boss to take a brief leave of absence as President Barack Obama's computer chief.
Yusuf Acar, who was the acting chief security officer in D.C.'s technology office, is accused of defrauding the city through a sophisticated bribery and fraud scheme.
The allegations include billing the city for items that were never delivered and "ghost" contract employees who didn't work. Authorities say Acar approved falsified bills and split the money with vendors who submitted them.
Acar's boss, Vivek Kundra, was recently appointed to the White House post of chief federal information officer. Kundra was put on leave Thursday and was reinstated by the White House on Tuesday.

It is beyond reason that Kundra gets to keep his job when this sort of thing was going on right under his nose. Surveillance for this sort of theft is basic business 101 stuff.
Obama is still playing 3-card Monty and we are all just a bunch of suckers.
We’ve been punked by our own countrymen.
The CEO sets the tone; Odumbo the Marxist Imbecile in Chief has set the tone.
And his BOSS, ZERO HUSSEIN’S Handpicked CZAR of INFORMATION TECH “didn’t KNOW about the EXTENSIVE BRIBERY and FRAUD!” How Stupid does HUSSEIN think we are? Thats as BAD as HUSSEIN sitting in a Church Pew for Twenty Years and NEVER hearing Any Hate from His Mentor and Chief Hate Monger, Rev. WRONG! Sounds like a Perfect Fit for the TWO!
More phantom people. Wonder how many SS#s, stock trading, voting preferences, campaign donations and phantom addresses and business positions these ‘ghosts contractors’ have.
I just CAN'T wait til Rahm Emanuel puts all the ACORN people to work on the census.
