Nicholas Alahverdian was a lauded and vocal advocate for child welfare reform, but he was also a man wanted for fraud and sex assault, investigators say

A Rhode Island man reported dead two years ago as he faced criminal charges in multiple states, including for sex assault and fraud, has been found alive in a Scotland hospital suffering from COVID, and now faces extradition back to the U.S.

Nicholas Alahverdian was linked in 2018 to a 2008 cold case sex assault case in Utah using DNA evidence from a rape kit, prosecutors say.

This man's dna was taken while he was in the hospital in Scotland for covid. His dna (obtained via covid test) was entered into a database where they found he was wanted in the US. He had faked his death in the US because of crimes he supposedly committed and moved to Scotland, changing his name. The article intimates his relatives may have helped him by telling the authorities of his demise. He is wanted in Utah and Ohio for fraud. but also lived in Rhode Island where he was a long-time advocate for child welfare reform. His "death" was reported in several news outlets there.

The takeaway for me is they are entering our dna into databases directly from hospitals.

There will be no place to hide.

“The takeaway for me is they are entering our dna into databases directly from hospitals.”

Right - and remember the crime solved when someone sent their DNA to an ancestry site (and it was used to determine that a sibling had committed an unsolved crime). At that point you may assume someone has cloned you and you have twins/triplets/quadruplets walking around - maybe in Scotland!

Yes. In the EU. Not sure about here. I wouldn’t doubt it, in the NWO-led world.

[dblshot]

Was his fraud and sex assault caused by COVID or just with COVID?

[DesertRhino]

They just ran his DNA from a Covid swab.... as a normal procedure?

[Deaf Smith]

Is now...SOP.

[P.O.E.]

The only thing DNA Can’t identify is your gender /s

“...common man, just don’t do any crimes and you would be fine!”

Just wait until political and religious opinion becomes a crime, just like anti-vaxx is nearly a crime.

He crossed a few borders...

And managed to vote democrat every election.

[Alas Babylon!]

Peter Griffin?

[waterhill]

Oh great... what about my Scottish Jacobite ancestors sent to Kentucky in chains?

[Dr. Sivana]

When I saw the headline, I thought he hid in Scotland, Connecticut, which is just a few miles away.

[Prolixus]

How can a “Rhode Island man” hide anywhere? Rhode Island has a pretty distinctive accent.

[Travelin’ Right]

I resemble that remark. I was born and bred in RI, now I’m just a crumb over the line in MA.

maybe the point?

[kearnyirish2]

They arrived here before the technology was available - so they shouldn’t have clones in Scotland unless current predecessors are back there. If you don’t want unlicensed clones, don’t let them get your DNA...

[Robert DeLong]

Pre Covid.
