Meeks failed to report the 2007 loan on his annual financial disclosure report, that all member of Congress are required to file, until June of this year after the FBI reportedly started asking questions about the loan. Meeks has repeatedly referred to Ahmad as his “friend,” but when asked by the New York Post last month what his relationship was with Meeks, Ahmad said, “I have none.”
Yesterday’s Post story paints a picture of Ahmad as a “shady” operator, with real estate dealings in Queens, and a variety of other businesses. According to the Post:
Ahmad lives the high life in a McMansion in South Ozone Park. His fleet of cars over the last few years has included a 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo -- with a base price of $165,000 -- a 2003 Mercedes SL500R roadster and a succession of Range Rovers.
Yet, Ahmad cried poverty in legal papers filed in 2008 as part of the license-suspension case.
He claimed that even before the case began -- around the same period he gave the $40,000 to Meeks -- his business was "struggling because of the real-estate crisis and the economy."
Ahmad is said to be close to Meeks, a New York State Senator named John Sampson, and Bharrat Jagdeo, the president of Guyana. Jagdeo was educated in the Soviet Union and has strengthened his nation’s ties with Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez and the government of Iran.

Any bets where he “earned” his money? With friends like Hugo Chavez, Edul Ahmad is a highly suspect individual!
Yep, and this Guyanese Pres Jagdeo sounds like a bad actor.
To: mass55th I just heard today that DWS was introduced to the Awan Bros. by Gregory Meeks(D-NY). apparently he was the first to use them. He is a racist scumbag and Islamic apologetic moron. He is always on TV spewing some stupid Liberal idea. Would be suprised if this goes all the way back to Meeks. He is close with the Clintons. 81 posted on 8/7/2017 8:27:03 PM by DrDude
Wonder if the Awan brothers, Wasserman-Schultz, Meeks and this friend of Meeks named Edul Ahmad, the guy with a lot of expensive cars :

Didn’t the original Awan Bros. narrative say they owed alot of real estate and a car dealership. apparently the car dealership had very little cars but was a money laundering operation.
