© DCNFAbid Awan, a House IT technician suspected in a security breach, leaves court after separately being accused of insurance fraud.
The used car dealership known as CIA never seemed like an ordinary car dealership, with inventory, staff and expenses.
On its Facebook page, CIA's "staff" were
fake personalities such as "James Falls O'Brien," whose photo was taken from a hairstyle model catalog, and "Jade Julia," whose image came from a web page called "Beautiful Girls Wallpaper."If a customer showed up looking to buy a car from Cars International A, often referred to as CIA, Abid Awan - who was managing partner of the dealership while also earning $160,000 handling IT for House Democrats - would frequently simply go across the street to another dealership called AAA Motors and get one.
"If AAA borrows a car to Cars International and they have a customer, it was simply take the car across the street and sell it, and then later on give the profit back or not," Nasir Khattak, who ran the longstanding AAA dealership,
testified in a lawsuit. "There was no documentation... If you go and try to dissect, you will not be able to make any sense out of them because there were many, dozens and dozens, of cars transferred between the two dealerships and between other people."
Khattak did not explain why he would ruin his existing business to help the Awans. "All of those transactions was to support Cars International A from AAA Motors," he testified. "That's why I did not make any money from my dealership because my resources were supporting Cars International A."
Comment: While the West reveres Kasparov as an intellectual Grandmaster, Russia rightly puts him alongside the likes of Alex Jones.
