A cousin of former top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin was convicted of fraud and sent immediately to jail on Tuesday.
In addition to fraud, Omar Amanat is accused of trying to tamper with potential evidence by allegedly asking his brother in an email to “delete all of my emails from the yahoo site” because he was afraid of a subpoena.
Amanat, who did business with a man known as the “Russian Donald Trump,” was reportedly determined to be a flight risk by a judge.
The indictment charges that Amanat convinced people to invest millions of dollars in a tech company called Kit Digital and lied to them to hide the fact that the company was hemorrhaging cash. “The evidence of their criminal schemes was so overwhelming that Amanat actually tried to fool the jury by introducing fake emails into the record as exculpatory ‘evidence’ in this trial,” acting Manhattan U.S. Attorney Joon H. Kim said in a statement. Prosecutors said he re-purposed millions of dollars of the company’s money for his own personal use.

It runs in the family.
Gee, surprise surprise... a Federal (DOJ) case.
They had to get Trump’s name in there somehow.
Maybe they could offer Huma a little incentive to go kinda easy on him. Carrot and a stick, you know.
I wonder if they found Omar’s fake exculpatory emails on Weiner’s laptop also.
Forwarded by Huma of course ......
Was he allowed to pass Go and collect $200?
I like that idea.
this is so last year...
Wow! Here is the Trump/Russian connection! They talk about “Donald Trump” and it’s the Russian version of the Trump.
OMG! Somebody went to jail finally.
No! Directly! No $200
he probably has dirt in huma and hiLIARy.
I hope he throws them under the bus in a plea bargain. I am wagering he does and will.
If he mysteriously gets shanked in jail we will know he has(had) that dirt for SURE.
He better watch hisself.
EMails. It is a family business
Get a family suite at GITMO.
:-) Right on.
If Hillary won, you know that this wouldn’t have happened.
“Gee, surprise surprise... a Federal (DOJ) case. “
Must have started under Obama.
“OMG! Somebody went to jail finally.”
A nobody small fry. Don’t hold your breath for any of the major players to get tagged.
Think hildebeest will let her little sidekick go to jail? She still has a lot of power and influence, and can make people disappear.
