That would be the mother of the San Bernardino Christmas party slaughterer.
She says she is entitled to the payola since she didn’t know what her son had planned (or so she says). Tell that to the 14 families who lost their loved ones forever!
(The story was at the Daily Mail a couple of weeks ago, but I missed it.)
Mother of San Bernardino terrorist trying to get money from Minnesota Life Insurance
Rafia Farook, the mother of San Bernardino terrorist Syed Farook, is trying to cash in on her son’s $280,000 life insurance policy. Here’s the Daily Mail:
“Rafia is battling the Justice Department over Farook’s $280,000 life insurance policy of which she was the primary beneficiary. Insurers Minnesota Life Insurance paid out shortly after the attack but the funds were held by court after the Justice Department attempted to have the cash seized as proceeds of crime.”
Four years ago Rafia Farook’s son Syed, and her son’s wife Tashfeen Malik, shot up a Christmas party at the San Bernardino Department of Public Health, where Syed was an employee. As a result of the attack, 14 were killed and another 22 injured. Both Malik and Syed Farook were killed by police while they fled the scene.
It is unclear why Minnesota Life Insurance paid out money because of the death.*** However, it is possible that the money was paid out to reduce legal exposure for Minnesota Life Insurance, especially since the Justice Department would surely seize the money once it was paid. Minnesota Life Insurance is a subsidiary of Securian Financial, which is headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The Daily Mail continues: “Rafia is continuing to fight attempts by the federal government to retain the payout. She says that because she did not know her son was going to commit an act of terror, there is no reason for the money not to be paid.”
But Rafia Farook has other problems. Her other son Syed Raheel and his Russian wife are in trouble for immigration fraud.
That’s because Syed Raheel tried to get his wife’s sister into the country via a sham-marriage with Enrique Marquez Jr., who is currently serving 25 years in federal prison after admitting to purchasing guns that were used in the Farook-Malik terror attack.
*** Someone should see who runs the Minnesota Life Insurance Company! Do you follow my meaning!
Wow this is some story! Before I began writing Frauds and Crooks, I knew there were some complicated frauds being perpetrated on us by unsavory members of the ‘new American’ community, but I continue to be surprised at the audacity and criminal intent of some of those we have welcomed to America. No longer “alleged.” All three have been convicted either of arson or insurance fraud.
This case involves two Middle Easterners and their American attorneywho happens to be the father of Airman Spencer Stone who was one of three men credited with stopping that Paris-bound train terror attack in 2015. Too bad for Brian Stone who was disbarred and was sentenced to six years in the big house.
The last of the trio of insurance fraudsters was sentenced this week.
Not only were they convicted of insurance fraud, but the elder of the two Middle Easterners had been earlier barred from participating in the food stamp program because he had been busted for ripping us off there too!
