NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- New York businessman and prominent Democratic fund- raiser Hassan Nemazee was indicted Monday for allegedly defrauding three banks out of $292 million in loans.

Nemazee, 59 years old, was charged with aggravated identity theft and three counts of bank fraud in the indictment. Each bank fraud count carries a term of up to 30 years in prison.

A lawyer for Nemazee didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Nemazee, who was involved in various presidential campaigns and once served as finance chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, was initially charged criminally in August related to a loan he allegedly obtained fraudulently from Citigroup Inc.'s (C) Citibank unit.

Prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's office in Manhattan also are seeking $292 million in forfeiture in the case.

In the indictment, prosecutors alleged that Nemazee obtained hundreds of millions of loans from Bank of America Corp. (BAC), Citigroup and HSBC Holdings Plc (HBC) between 1998 and 2009.

“That is not the Hassan Nemazee I knew!”

— Barack Obama —

“Hassan Nemazee?? Never heard of the guy, and anyway, excuse me Mr. Reporter, I’m busy looking for my secret floppy hat given to me by some CIA guy on a top-secret mission up the river into Cambodia”

— John Kerry —

“Republicans represent the culture of corruption.”

— Nancy Pelosi —

“Reminds me of my days as a money whore in Buddhist Temples.....so glad to be done with that stuff... Now I get to strut around pretending I have big “ideas” that matter”

— Al Gore —

“Does this story hurt Obama more than me? If so I’ll jump all over it with both feet”

— Hillary Clinton —

“Yawn, nothing to see here, let’s move along now”

And if not him, "suspicious" things will start to happen across the board -- to the prosecuting attorneys, judges, any media member who dares not bow at the feet of this Empty Suit.

He'll either be acquitted on technicality/thuggery, to the huzzahs of the MSM, as well as "Republicans' smear tactics fail again." If he's convicted (not that the Empty Suit or MSM would let that happen, but we can hope) that'll hold him up as Someone the Republicans Wanted to Take Down -- Could Obama Be Next?

In fairness to Mr. Nemazee he is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law like everyone else.

If this is true, then it is just exhibit # 7,802,883,429,981 to prove that God has a sense of humor.

WASHINGTON -- Iranian American supporters of the effort to bring democracy to Iran are raising concerns about the resurgence of Senator Kerry's campaign for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, questioning the role of a Kerry fund-raiser who wants to normalize ties with Tehran. Hassan Nemazee, an Iranian American financier based in New York, was on the board of the American Iranian Council when that organization arranged for President Clinton's secretary of state, Madeleine Albright, to apologize for America's [ALLEGED] role in the 1953 coup that brought the Shah to power in Iran. ---- "Kerry's Fund-Raiser Worries Advocates Of Iran Democracy," NY Sun ^ | Tue, 27 Jan 2004 | ELI LAKE , Posted on Wednesday, January 28, 2004 12:52:39 AM by F14 Pilot

It appears he was born in the US. Does anyone involved with obama/thedemocrats see themselves as “AMERICANS”?????

He was born in the US but as the son of an Iranian diplomat he's not a natural born US citizen.

C 1950 : (NEMAZEE IS BORN IN WASHINGTON DC - THE SON OF AN IRANIAN DIPLOMAT) Nemazee was born in Washington, D.C., the son of an Iranian shipping magnate then serving as the commercial attach to the U.S. for the Shah's government. After college he formed a joint venture in Iran with insurer American International Group to sell life insurance, but the business fell victim to the Iranian revolution.----------- "Warning Flags," FORBES MAGAZINE, 1999 ; http://www.forbes.com/forbes/1999/0503/6309142a_print.html

Cisneros is one of the guys the Obama people have seleted to do an "investigation" of ACORN :

Nemazee and Angulo had grand plans to build their money management business, and at one point contracted to acquire Cisneros Asset Management, a Houston firm founded by Henry Cisneros, a former Secretary of Housing & Urban Development (and no relation to the Venezuelan Cisneroses). Cisneros Asset Management had $700 million-plus under management. The deal fizzled, and FCA's business dwindled.------------ "Warning Flags," FORBES MAGAZINE, 1999 ; http://www.forbes.com/forbes/1999/0503/6309142a_print.html

Nemazee may have been the brains behind laundering illegal foreign cash from Iran, Venezuela, China, etc. into Democrat coffers.
