Fraudster at City Hall

Honestly, when we heard that someone had been led out of City Hall in handcuffs, we had high hopes for an aldercreature, a treasurer or maybe even a former mayor who was visiting for the day. Seems it was someone else though:
  • A high-level City Hall official was arrested at work Wednesday on charges he was involved in Medicare fraud unrelated to his city job.

    Mohammed K. Rashed, 45, of Chicago, is one of three men charged in an alleged scheme involving a home healthcare business Rashed owned with one of the other co-defendants, Bahir H. Khalil, 33, of Palos Hills.

    Rashed — a $102,552-a-year coordinating engineer for the city’s Department of Transportation — was arrested Wednesday morning at his city office at 30 N. LaSalle and led out in handcuffs, stunning co-workers.

With all the graft and corruption at City Hall, we'd think they would be more surprised this wasn't happening more often. Especially at the Department of Transportation.

....and where was that money they stole going? A huge percentage of the money stolen from WIC, food stamps and the like go back to organizations that fund terrorism.

Our bust outs sell their coupons for pennies on the dollar at the neighborhood store. The good immigrants that Emmanuel wants to help then send their money back to the Middle East to fund Jihad.

'Are you making the connection here? Government sponsored terrorism.'

Thanks to all involved.

As far as these foreign educated doctors are concerned, many of them flock to the US and establish their practices in the low income neighborhoods to take full advantage of the Governments largely unaccountable Medicare Programs.
Has the Fed located the famous Dr.Gotam Gupta yet?

What was the name of the organization and who was the membership that intended to give on behalf of Jackson Jr. $1.5 million for Blagos Senate Seat Sale ?
Has the FBI opened the books of all those contributors yet?

If they somehow indict Daley I would thoroughly enjoy the last year or so of my career. No one deserves hard justice more than master criminal Richard M Daley. With Hanhardt released there is an opening in a Federal Prison. I can't think of a more worthy soul than Daley.

I'm pretty sure Daley would not mind spending the rest of his retirement @ Club Fed...He'd appreciate all the freebies that come with it.

1-Free meals
2-Free cable
3-Free gym
4-Free Medical

This should be a black eye for Rahm. Of course it won't be though. He'll maintain his Teflon coating from the soft media.

Just wait until they get Stroger. Then you can celebrate, because he might have some goods on Daley!

OT--SEC paid $575 million dollars in rent for buildings they didn't need and never moved into.

Two $300 million dollar tankers built by the Navy 25 years ago were never used and are being sold as scrap.

But keep on working! Don't complain!

Another connected foreign arcehole stealing from the city and medicare. What does anyone in the city Transportation Dept. do that is worth $102,000 a year? Just about as worthless as the Crook County Highway Dept. How much of that goes back to some greedy corrupt political hack as payback? Have they found Dr. Gupta yet? calling....Dr. Gupta....calling Dr. Gupta. Better believe Dr. Gupta is back in India and will never be found.

HEADLINE:
Inspector General Clashes With Emanuel Officials On Contracting Ban

Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s administration has refused to bar from city business a former top City Hall aide who admitted taking part in an illegal job-rigging scheme, the city’s top watchdog said in a report Tuesday.

Inspector General Joseph Ferguson takes issue with that decision. Ferguson also contends that the mayor’s office isn’t giving him the tools he needs to properly oversee city hiring, marking his first public criticism of the new administration.

Not to worry, Former Mayor and King Richard Daley is buried in his Bunker in Grand Beach Michigan!

He has declared Grand Beach a seperate fifedom from arrest and prosecution!

His tiny Army of Taxpayer Paid ON-DUTY POLICE have him covered!

OT: On Tuesday my daughter was involved in a fender bender. She called me from the location and I told her what she needed to do. She took pictures w/ her cell phone and got the other drivers info.
Yesterday, mid morning,she went to 024 to file a report. The blue shirt behind the desk asked if the other driver was present. She replied no, but that she had her info. He told her that they both had to be present and turned her away. I asked her what the guy was doing when she walked in...talking and laughing w/ a white shirt. I asked what happened when she was leaving....still talking to the white shirt.
I sent her to 020 and she filed the report.
WHAT A DOUCHEBAG!

To the officer who daughter was involved in an accident, this aslo happened to my niece down in the 1st district last year, she had a small accident on the drive, called me and I told her to fgo into 1 and make out the report, well once there they told her that the police don't make reports out unless the damage is $ 1500.00 or more. She called me and I called and only then did this lazy PO make the report out because I was a Sergeant. We are in a sad state folks, these lazy assholes bid on these desk spots and then don't work only to be watched over by a unch of lazy ass Sergeants. I'm so so happy I'm just about done,

Richie Daley will never go to jail. Stop hoping for that one. Old Man Daley and his sons are smart. They never took money under the table and always let some underling do the fund raising.

9.5 digit Tiny Dancer has a direct line to the socialist White House that now employs King Daley's brother. Nothing will happen to the dethroned Daley until a GOP is in office. In the meantime, out city and country continues to flush down the eternal toilet.

Not sticking up for the desk dogs, but..... Illinois does not require a report for accidents under $1500.00. As a Sgt you should have known that, it's in the orders.

Frauds are the hardest cases to prove. They must have really had the goods on these mutts!

It's so lucrative that people are willing to take the chance of getting caught. Punishment is nil.

Had a case where an employee stole over $500K from his boss over several years. He got a 1K fine and 1 yr. probation. Unreal.

To Joe Ferguson City Inspector general.
We had a new alley put in about 6 years ago because they would not pick up the garbage cans in the alley citing it's poor condition. After the alley is put in it takes another 10 months for alley pickup of the garbage to get approved. In the interum the alley starts to crack the entire width of the the new alley that they poured over dirt. I filed a freedom of information request for specifications for City of Chicago code for alleys. Calls for 6" of number whatever crushed limestone compacted. They did not use any!!! Called David Shapiro who was the IG at the time and he said we do not have the authority to investigate this complaint and referred me DOT. I get mR pATEL ON THE PHONE AND HE TELLS ME WE USED 12 TRUCK LOADS OF STONE ON THE ALLEY I'M LOOKING AT THE LINE SHEETS RIGHT NOW. I say lookie here Patel, I along with many of my neighbors watched them pour the concrete and it was poured over dirt not stone, are you hearing me? Is impossible states Patel. I hope this is the same jagoff they led out of the hall. Now if we could only get someone to come out and take a core sample of the alley 7300-7358 N. Olcott maybe we could put some more assholes in jail. Who am I kidding! The biggest conspiracy ever perpetrated against the American People, The mortgage crisis and nobody goes to jail. The only people worthy of going to jail today are police officers, right Anita.

You're wrong. George W. was in office and came to Chicago to have lunch with Daley during the "Hired Truck Scandal." That lunch together let the U.S.Attorney know no one better touch Daley. Both Richie M. and GW are sons of former chief executives. Cut from the same cloth. Stop kidding yourself.
