Editor: I want you to see my post at Refugee Resettlement Watchthis morning. I’m mentioning it here because it fits at ‘Frauds and Crooks’ and because RRW has not yet rebuilt its following since WordPressdotcom silenced methere.
I’m back writing at RRW almost every day! And, right now there is a lot of refugee news being made.
Who comes up with this hokey stuff?
Is this goofy or what! That is the Rev. McCullough of Church World Service on the far left. He pulls in an annual salary and benefits package of nearly $300,000 from the quasi-government CWS. Looks like Anne Richard, Obama’s refugee chief next to him, and then of course CAIR’s Nihad Awad fourth from the left.
Starving the beast may be the best way to control it!
The Trump Administration has been signalling it would like to reassess the US commitment to the UN which amounts to 22% of the UN’s $5.4 billion annual budget.
UN Secretary General Guterres doesn’t look happy as Trump speaks. BTW, what is he doing with his fingers?
Before I continue, don’t miss my post at RRWthis morning about the latest revelation about refugee fraud within the UN—all the more reason to stop funding the United Nations!
Oh, and while you are visiting RRW, be sure to see myextensive archive on socialist UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres who was previously the UN High Commissioner for Refugees so I followed his ‘career’ for years.
United Nations could run out of money in a few weeks, Secretary General warns
United Nations — The United Nations is running a deficit of $230 million, Secretary General Antonio Guterres said on Monday, and may run out of money by the end of October. In a letter intended for the 37,000 employees at the UN secretariat and obtained by CBS News’ Pamela Falk, Guterres said unspecified “additional stop-gap measures” would have to be taken to ensure salaries and entitlements are paid.
“Member States have paid only 70 percent of the total amount needed for our regular budget operations in 2019. This translates into a cash shortage of $230 million at the end of September. We run the risk of depleting our backup liquidity reserves by the end of the month,” he wrote.
Gasp! Cutting travel and meetings might be necessary to save them money! And, they might have to take measures to save energy! Isn’t the leading global warming proponent in the world already taking all necessary measures to save energy?
To cut costs, Guterres mentioned postponing conferences and meetings and reducing services, while also restricting official travel to only essential activities and taking measures to save energy.
Although 129 States out of 193 have now paid their regular annual dues, the most recent being Syria, UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric told correspondents at the regular briefing in New York, others needed to pay “urgently and in full”.
[….]
Guterres had asked member states earlier this year to up contributions to the world body to head off cash flow problems, but they refused, a UN official told French news agency AFP on condition of anonymity.
The US is paying almost one quarter of the UN’s entire budget!
Not including what it pays for peacekeeping operations, the UN’s operating budget for 2018-2019 is close to $5.4 billion, with the United States contributing the largest share at 22 percent.
Looking for something to do? Contact the White House (link in right hand side bar here at ‘Frauds and Crooks’). Tell the President that the time is right to begin cutting the UN’s ties to our treasury!
But, it sure strikes me that there must be more to this story than we are being told!
My first question is how does a 29-year-old, Latif Mohamed Chowdhury, aka Gulam Latif Chaudhury, who is not a Pharmacist, come to own two pharmacies and set up this elaborate scheme to get his hands on dangerous drugs and bilk insurance companies and Medicare and Medicaid out of hundreds of thousands of dollars? A 29-year-old! Clearly there is something more.
Indeed I wonder how he managed such a light sentence—4 years—when he could have gotten twenty asnoted herein an earlier article about his arrest.
Did he cut some deal with the feds to help them find bigger fish involved in the scheme?
This is thepress statement from the US Justice Department on Chowdury’s sentencing. Thanks as always to readers who find important stories like this one that doubtless few will ever hear about otherwise.
Former Pharmacy Owner Sentenced for Prescription Medication Fraud
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – A former pharmacy owner was sentenced today [September 27th—ed] to four years in prison for fraudulently filling and dispensing thousands of prescription medications, including opioids, outside the usual course of professional practice.
“Chowdhury blithely violated his position of trust,” said G. Zachary Terwilliger, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. “Chowdhury’s warped business philosophy led him to illegally distribute a significant number of prescription medications, including dangerous, addictive opioids. Moreover, his reckless actions add to the financial cost of health care as he fraudulently billed at least $500,000 to health insurance programs for prescriptions that were never filled.”
According to court documents, Latif Mohamed Chowdhury, aka Gulam Latif Chaudhury, 29, operated and controlled two now-defunct pharmacies known as Alexandria Care Pharmacy LLC (ACP-1) and Alexandria Care Pharmacy Store #2 LLC (ACP-2). Chowdhury has never been a licensed pharmacist and has no medical qualifications. Nonetheless, between August 2015 and February 2016, Chowdhury fraudulently operated ACP-1 and ACP-2 by personally filling and dispensing thousands of dosage units of medications, including opioids, without a licensed pharmacist on-site. Chowdhury used the identities of licensed pharmacists, without their permission, to carry out his scheme.
“Chowdhury used his trusted position to enrich himself at the expense of others,” said Timothy M. Dunham, Special Agent in Charge, Criminal Division, FBI Washington Field Office. “Today’s sentencing makes it clear that the illegal distribution of opioids will not be tolerated. The FBI will work closely with our partners to continue to investigate allegations of healthcare fraud.”
Chowdhury admitted to fraudulently billing health insurance benefit programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, for refills of prescription medications that were not delivered to customers even though his pharmacies received payment for these prescriptions. Chowdhury also submitted fraudulent health insurance claims in the names of pharmacy customers for medications that were not authorized by any physician, and were not dispensed to any of the customers, in order to enrich himself through illicit profits generated by ACP-1 and ACP-2.
As I have said on many previous occasions, I catch a few minutes of CNN every morning just to see what the spin is on the Left for the day.
The 24-year-old suspect, Rodriguez “Randy” Santos, had only been in the US for four years.
Today they reported on the beating death of four homeless men in New York City’s Chinatown. But, they claimed that although an assailant had been arrested, there had been no identification made of the man. I know I heard the alleged killer’s name yesterday, so why was CNN acting dumb this morning?
Turns out the alleged killer is another ‘homeless’ man who is actually homeless because his mother booted him from her home because he hit her. The family is from the Dominican Republic.
First, you might want to look at this storyat the New York Post and see all of the run-ins he had with the law over the last two years. What the heck! Why was he even on the streets? Why hadn’t he been shipped home to the Dominican Republic? Sanctuary NYC!
The unhinged maniac who allegedly killed four homeless people in Chinatown was busted last year for biting a man’s chest during a savage assault, a law enforcement source told the Post.
Now hereis the story about his Dominican family. From the New York Daily News:
Mother of suspect in quadruple homeless homicide was terrified of her violent, drug-addled son
Fioraliza Rodriguez knew her homeless son was deeply troubled: He struggled with a drug habit, stole from the family, assaulted her and his grandfather.
The distraught mother still burst into tears Saturday after learning her deranged older boy was behind bars for the brutal bludgeoning deaths of four fellow homeless men during a bloody Chinatown rampage.
“Oh my God, oh my God!” she screamed in Spanish. “Lord help me! Oh my God!”
The 55-year-old Rodriguez told the Daily News that she never believed her son Randy, despite his myriad problems, could take someone’s life.
“I never thought he would kill someone,” she said.. “I was afraid of him, though, because he punched me. That’s when I told him to get out of my house.”
According to family members, Randy Rodriguez Santos started using drugs when he arrived in New York from their native Dominican Republic about four years ago. He soon turned violent, breaking his grandfather’s nose in a 2016 incident, and just last Monday slipped into the family home to steal a watch, a phone and three phone chargers.
His mom booted Randy from the house more than three years ago, but he remained a menacing presence popping in and out of their lives.
“When I told him to leave, he came back and threatened me,” she recounted. “He said when I go back to Santo Domingo, he’ll get people to cut my face.”
Are you wondering how ‘Randy’ came to be living apparently legally in America—family reunification!
By the way, have you noticed that almost every story blasting the President in recent weeks on immigration policy says he is breaking up families.
Obviously the talking point has gone out via the Open Borders agitators to their lackeys in the press—mention the broken families! This is one family that the law should have broken!
So we got ‘Randy’ Santos most likely through family reunification and the question is how did we get mama Fioraliza? Likely through family reunification!
See thisinformative backgrounder at the Migration Policy Institute on immigrants from the Dominican Republic living in the US—about a million of them—mostly here through chain migration (family reunification).
So with all this information out on the “maniac” Rodriguez Santos yesterday why was CNN playing coy this morning and pretending not to know who had been arrested? No wonder we can’t trust them!
Addendum: Just a reminder that I am putting up fresh material at the newly reconstructed Refugee Resettlement Watch. This fishy storyyesterday from Idaho might just as easily have been posted here at ‘Frauds and Crooks.’
I suppose there is nothing unusual about this case. It likely goes on across America on a daily basis, but I thought it might be instructive for a couple of reasons.
First, although the FBI makes it clear that the arrested man is not a US citizen, we are never told (as usual!) how he came to be living in America.
Did he come illegally or did he come as a refugee, a diversity visa lottery winner, or on some other visa for work or school? If law enforcement never tells us that information how can we make a judgement about which legal programs are failing us?
The news is very brief (below), but more interesting and worth a few minutes of your time is the criminal complaint which shows how the feds got this alleged sexual predator, Sanjay Lama (aka Awesome_Jack) talking via phone and internet discussions that were being taped.
From the US Justice Department(at least the feds are telling us the man is not a US citizen right in the headline for a change).
LOL! the headline doesn’t begin with “Jacksonville man.”
Nepalese Citizen Arrested And Charged With Attempting To Entice And Meet A 12-Year-Old Child To Engage In Sexual Activity
Jacksonville, Florida – Sanjay Lama (29, Jacksonville) has been arrested and charged with using the internet to attempt to entice a 12-year-old child to engage in sexual activity. Lama is a citizen of Nepal who is legally residing in Jacksonville. If convicted, he faces a mandatory minimum penalty of 10 years, and up to life, in federal prison and a potential life term of supervised release. Lama has been detained pending a detention hearing scheduled for October 1, 2019.
According to court documents, on September 25, 2019, an undercover FBI agent, who was posing online as a 12-year-old child, was contacted by the user “Awesome_Jack,” who was later identified as Lama. On that day, during an online conversation between Lama and the undercover agent, Lama expressed his desire to meet the “child” to engage in sexual activity. Lama further provided the undercover agent with details about the sexual acts that he wished to perform on the “child.” Later that day, Lama rode his motorcycle to a prearranged location in Jacksonville to meet the “child” and was arrested by FBI agents.

It is another case brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
Cases like this should be widely distributed, but it won’t be because once again the PC media isn’t eager to report on immigrant criminal activity. It doesn’t fit the meme that they are all here working hard and seeking a better life.
A wide distribution of news like this might just save some young girls from exploitation as well!
