With integrity like that, it's no wonder why there are all these security breaches (multiple Tricare, OPM, DOI, etc.)

Faisal Ahmed? I guess an American didn’t want the job.

With an Arab name like that, maybe he was lying about a lot more than his education.

So many in these federal jobs went to historically black colleges and universities. It’s like a rubber stamp to get hired with a degree from one of those places.

I wonder how many federal employees have fake degrees. It wouldn’t surprise me if there was more than a few.

Worse than faking his degrees is having what appears to be another Obamanoid Muslim involved with government “Law Enforcement and Security.”

The Chinese may have been cross checking the files they downloaded, and ratted him out because he was Muslim. The Americans then had to build a cover story for how they found out.

My background check would have revealed he forged his education in no time. Who is doingbtheir background checks these day? Obviously someone who isn’t doing their job.

“The Chinese may have been cross checking the files they downloaded, and ratted him out because he was Muslim. The Americans then had to build a cover story for how they found out.”

Seems plausible. At this point, they might be a better source of accurate information.

This happened during the Bush years - he is another hand-holding muslim fan.

I’m not surprised at the story, however I am surprised because he “un-linked” someone they considered that strange behavior and called the employer and questioned their education? Sounds a little fishy. I know they were an alumni recruiter, but still....

I’d bet a better qualified American wanted, applied, and interviewed for the job, but since he was a white male he didn’t get preferential treatment

I know a guy who applied for a job as a police officer and the job application was 65 pages with more depth than his top secret clearance for the military.

How does anyone work in a federal department handling sensitive information with no apparent background check at all?

Probably no American was even considered for the job. If you’re over 40 and you are not in a protected class, you might as well toss resumes out the window to identity thieves.

Because that’s probably what you’re doing with a lot of Indeed and Craigslist jobs. I won’t even consider a Craiglist job anymore unless it’s being advertised by a real company with an address and a website.

The Army back around fifteen years ago...did a survey and did come to realize that at least a hundred employees with management status...had bachelor or master degrees from various fake universities. You’d pay around five to eight thousand for a bachelor’s degree, and a minimum of ten thousand for a Master’s degree. These ‘were’ legit colleges at some point, then dissolved away, and someone had gone out and bought the name of the university, then turned the action back on without the classes or manpower.

I don’t remember the final outcome but I think the Army didn’t fire any of them...just removing them from management status. They were GS and it’s practically impossible to fire a GS guy.

You have the same problem in Georgia over the past decade where some teachers were noted with fake master degrees, and that led to a court case where the teachers tried to defend the fake degrees (it was the only step-up on significant pay possible).
