Top Democrat fund-raiser for Obama, Hillary arrested

Hassan Nemazee, a multimillionaire Iranian-American investment banker and top Democratic Party fundraiser, was arrested today by federal law enforcement authorities in New York City and charged with engaging in criminal fraud for his role in arranging a $74 million dollar loan from Citibank, Bloomberg reported.

U.S. Attorney Prett Bharara in New York City and FBI investigators told Dow Jones Newswires the 59-year-old Namazee applied for the Citibank loans for Nemazee Capital Corp. by giving Citibank "numerous documents that purported to establish the existence of accounts in Nemazee's name at various financial institutions containing many hundreds of millions of dollars."

According to the criminal complaint released by Bharara, the accounts Nemazee submitted in the loan documentation were "fraudulent and forged" and "either never existed or had been closed years before Nemazee submitted the documents referencing those accounts."

The criminal complaint alleged Nemazee's fraudulent scheme began in December 2006, when he first approached Citibank to borrow $25 million. He recently raised the sum to $80 million.

“This man may know a great deal.”

Yeah, too bad the Holder Justice Department won’t want to hear any of it.

Wonder when the voting public is going to notice that the Dem party is really and truly guilty of the corruption they ascribe to the Republican party back in the day when being a Republican actually amounted to having any real influence.

It really is stunning. And to hear his apologists among the cultists, and especially among the statist press corps - truly beyond belief.

It is a bizarre comedy/tragedy of Shakespearean proporations that is unfolding before us daily.

Truly, I am surprised. With his money, connections, and what he must know...how did this guy end up being arrested? Sounds like another "under the bus" case, that let this happen. Maybe this guy will sing!!!
