ACORN is supplying navigators for obamacare. That reminds me (/snix):
AG's from 13 states wrote HHS' Sebelius to express concerns over consumer privacy and oversight of “Obamacare navigators,” counselors charged with assisting consumers.....the AGs' asked HHS what policies were in place to: (1) screen and monitor program personnel, (2) prevent fraud and remedy cases of it, and, (3) regulate the navigators at the state level....... chief among AG concerns was (5) whether sufficient safeguards were in place to prevent security breaches.
=============================================
A West Virginia nonprofit has turned down a federal grant it received to help residents navigate new health insurance options under the Affordable Care Act after it received an inquiry from Attorney General Patrick Morrisey about how it would protect consumer information. Clarksburg-based West Virginia Parent Training Inc. did not respond to a letter it received from Morrisey directing it to answer 26 questions about the group's personnel and hiring practices, including employee background checks and employee monitoring programs, the Sunday Gazette-Mail (http://bit.ly/17M1QVe) reported.

====================================================
YOUR TURN--Contact your state AG---ask him/her to issue a letter of inquiry to groups receiving federal "Navigator" grants. The inquiry should center on questions WRT how the group intends to protect consumer data.
In particular, the questionnaire should ask if the tax-funded "Navigator" program intends to transfer personal/ financial/medical data of the insured to the local/county/national Democrat Party, relevant Unions, banks, investment companies, drug companies, insurance companies. Trial Lawyers' associations and whether "Navigators" have sub rosa contracts with these, and other groups, plan to profit, to provide significant info to enrich databases for pecuniary purposes.
The AG also needs to confirm (1) whether the "navigator" was ever convicted of a felony....... and....(2) whether the "navigator" can be bonded.
Most importantly demand that your AG enforce the requirement that "Navigators" must have a state insurance license (consists of a comprehensive test on all aspects of insurance and compels a background check).

DAILY CALLER.COM--Kansas Obamacare ‘navigator’
has outstanding arrest warrant / by Michael Volpe
>
Rosilyn Wells — the Director of Outreach and Enrollment for the Heartland Community Health-care Center (HCHC)-- was hired as an Obamacare "navigator" despite her shady financial history: (1) a bankruptcy in 2003, (2) a 2007 civil charge from a local check cashing business for writing a bad check, (3) being more than $1700 behind on her state tax bill, and, (4) having an outstanding arrest warrant in nearby Shawnee County. Wells lives and works in Douglass County.
The “smoking-gun documents” Judicial Watch obtained indicate: <><> the continued collusion and conspiracy of ACORN w/ US govt agencies---HUD, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and shady ACORN spinoffs,
<><> ACORN Dorpalen also met with CFPB regional strategist Keo Chea, Federal Reserve reps, and Dustin Toomey, executive director of Affordable Housing Centers of PA, an ACORN spinoff, that shares office space with Dorpalen’s NHRC,
<><> .... Dorpalen met with Thomas J. Curry, Comptroller of the Currency in April 2013. Curry’s office, part of the U.S. Treasury Dept, supervises more than 2,000 national banks and federal savings associations around the country.
<><> In May of this year, Dorpalen lobbied federal officials in support of the housing bubble-generator--the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). ACORN and other radical activist groups support the CRA with a near-religious fervor.....
<><> all of the ACORN conniving and conspiring strongly indicates that Barack Obama is still determined to turn the federal government’s housing policy over to the far left,” Fitton said.
THE REMEDY (AMONG MANY): The Bank Secrecy Act needs to be mobilized---moreso b/c ACORN's Dorpalen met with Thomas J. Curry, Comptroller of the Currency in April 2013. Curry’s office, part of the U.S. Treasury Dept, supervises more than 2,000 national banks and federal savings associations around the country.
==============================================
Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of money laundering and other financial crimes.
“The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, terrorism, tax evasion or other unlawful activities,” the special agent in charge for Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, explained.
L/E needs to examine the bank accounts used to pay for collusive ACORN/govt activities. The "Bank Secrecy Act's" purpose is to protect the public by identifying and detecting criminal enterprises, money laundering, tax evasion or other unlawful activities.
POSSIBLE FRAUD SCHEMES MIGHT INCLIDE:
<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer of of govt funds. Govt monies may pay for personal and private expenses, credit cards, real estate sunsidies and vehicle purchases.
<><> To cover their tracks, fake invoices might be created to show that money deposited into ACORN accounts was being used for legitimate govt purposes.
<><> The scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from federal and state sources that actually covered the transfer of funds for ACORN'S own use. <><> L/E is directed to get ahold of: (1) copies of checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including e-mail, contracts, loan agreements, and, (8) any other books or records. L/E should also explore (a) monies paid to brokers, sub-brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.
===============================================
L/E should scrutinize ACORN bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.
<><> Bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC other accounts, to operate personal businesses. Govt fraud can also be facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intrabank transfers from govt accounts into personal accounts.
<><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support luxurious lifestyle including payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, resort travel and gifts from luxury outlets for wives and mistresses.
Taxpayers must demand the Bank Secrecy Act be used to prosecute ACORN govt fraud pronto.
