Antidisestablishment's post #60 is probably a good example of how these people change names, forge passports and probably reverse and intentionally and unintentionally misspell first and last names to avoid tracing.

That said, it seems that Iqbal is a popular name in the Pakistani jewelry business.

Munawar Iqbal, (I doubt it's the Islamic economist) also incorporated at least three extant corporations in Texas, at 12703 Veterans Memorial Drive, Ste 105, Houston.

The corporation names: Sana Business Corporation, Faisal Corporation and Hamra Business Inc.

There are numerous other Iqbal's listed as registered agents for various corporate entitities in Texas, the most interesting of which is Goldman of Louisville, Inc., using the fictitious name of Intrigue Jewelers, Inc. This was registered to Shahid Iqbal, 7400 North Star Mall, San Antonio in August 1999, and forfeited existence in March 2002.

So it appears the Iqbals are involved in both Gold Concept and Intrigue.

62 Texas corporations have been registered by persons with the last name of Iqbal.

Arif Rajan has an existent corporation, Gold Concept, Inc. (filed in Florida as Gold Concept, Inc. of Texas) registered in Texas in August 1993. Rajan's mailing address is listed as 3601 N. Bicentennial #88, McAllen, Texas, and the physical address of the corporation is listed as 7041 Grand National Drive, Orlando. (Interesting, since Gold Concept was listed as a "Foreign Corporation" in the State of Florida, at that address, and as a "Domestic Business" in Texas, using the Florida address.) Gulzar Rajan is listed as both President and Director.

Gold Concept, Inc. also went into tax forfeiture in August 1995, but was re-instated in July 1996.

Arif Rajan

was also the registered agent for two other extant Texas corporations: Houston Oncor Enterprises Inc. (July 1993 to August 1995), Oro Valle, Inc. (October 1991 to August 1996).

19 entities registered with the Florida Dept of Corporations are currently using the fictitious names of Intrigue, Intrigue Jewelers, Intrigue Jewelry, and Intrigue Fine Jewelers. All are registered to individuals and/or officers with Pakistani names.

The only currently active corporation registered to Munawar Iqbal is Unique Imports of Tampa, Inc., and Iqbal is listed at a Brandon, FL address. Munawar is also registered to use the fictitious name Intrigue Jewelers at the West Oaks Mall in Ocoee, FL

Corporations using Intrigue as a fictitious name in Florida include Akram & Sons Enterprises, Golden Hues, IFZ Enterprises, MAF Management, Meher Jewelers, Naheed Enterprises of Minnesota, New Concepts of Jewelry, 1478847 Ontario Inc., Qazi, Inc., Royal Concept of Jewelry, Sam's Golf & Diamond of Chamblee, Georgia, S3B Enterprises and Verizon Jewelry.

Qazi, Inc. is the only Pensacola corporation using the Intrigue name, and I can't find any links between Qazi and Gold Concept(s).

I have a feeling that corporate record searches of other states will turn up the same types of info -- I guess you could say this is a huge web of "Intrigue."

BC, I hope that the FBI and our treasury people are as thorough as you have been here. This is some excellent followup.

Travis and some of us have joked in other "investigations" by Freepers, the FBI might be wise to have a couple of people just monitoring FR to see what we dig up.

A couple of us were recently told that our investigative reports on FR on the weird and probable criminal behavior of Gray Davis's energy buddies has been noted by Wall Street and enabled more Wall Street research to be done on the Rat Creeps in Kali land. So inspite of Davis and the Rat's control of the mediots in Kali, Wall Street re the energy crisis, knows whom to blame.

Excellent research, thanks!

The only currently active corporation registered to Munawar Iqbal is Unique Imports of Tampa, Inc., and Iqbal is listed at a Brandon, FL address.

Is it the same address as in your #167?

Great digging, browardchad! These interlocked, often ficticious and failed businesses offer a perfect cover for money laundering and smuggling. The multiple bankruptcies and sudden influx of cash in failed enterprises doesn't make a lot of sense. Tied in with the anecdotal evidence from mall patrons, I believe many of the kiosks are probably fronts and many of the related businesses are as well.

As far as the agents and owners go, it is actually very common for one foriegn national to act as an agent for numerous businesses. And let's not forget we are also dealing with a patriarchal culture. But all this should make it easier for even the FBI to find the links. This thread reminds me why I love FR. Excellent job all!
