MEXICAN STORE OWNER ACCIDENTLY REVEALS HIS SCAM OF NEW JERSEY…FEDS DISCOVER HUGE OPERATION
Conservative Daily Post ^ | Jan 27, 2017 | Michael Kohl

Posted on 01/27/2017 3:28:53 PM PST by COBOL2Java

A rabbit hole is a scary place. You never expect to find it, and when you do, it starts from the unlikeliest of places. Who knew that the globalist push for a worldwide Islamic Fundamentalist Caliphate started at a small market in Irvington New Jersey?

An Irvington man on Monday admitted in federal court to running a food stamps-for-cash scheme that cost the government more than $800,000 over two years. Miguel Antonio Azcona pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Mary L. Cooper in Trenton to a single count of theft of government funds, according to the office of U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman.

Prosecutors say Azcona, 38, allowed customers at his Newark convenience store, New Community Supermarket on Springfield Avenue, to trade Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program benefits for cash. Store employees would retain a portion of the transaction’s value for Azcona’s benefit, according to prosecutors.

A single count means he’ll be out starting another scam in 18 months.

I’m sorry, but we are going to have to start hanging thieves.

There are too many of them and they aren’t afraid of prison.

I detest thieves, goes double for identity thieves.

Unless some real punishment gets meted out to where most get the point, nothing will change.

Are you serious? Like this is a big deal? It has been happening forever and is very widespread. Until the government understands this is just the tip of an iceberg that they accidently stumbled into it will continue. I use to work for the Stageof Florida Dept of Children and Families (the food stamp man as I was often called) and the level of fraud has not changed. The hopes that EBT cards would help were quickly extinguished as criminals always find a way to change the benefit to cash to get their next fix. Until massive investigations take place with well publicized fines and jail time for both the bussiness and the reciptient occur it will continue. More tax payer money down the drain and into the veins of Americans with much of the money winding up south up the border.

MUSLIM MONEY-GRABBING AMERICAN-STYLE

Here’s how the “peace-loving Muslims” cash-in American-style. This scheme is very common in the US Muslim community.......this one got caught b/c he murdered two Christians.

REFERENCE A federal criminal complaint detailed a Texas Muslims schemes to bilk the US govt: Claiming he couldn’t work, he scammed US taxpayer disability assistance funds w/ complaints of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue symptoms, affective disorders, and so on.

He maintained several addresses on the Texas property to facilitate various schemes and used various names.

He was collecting tax dollars for a son supposedly living overseas.

At the same time he was secreting real estate, jewels, vehicles and cash in US and foreign bank accounts.


Texas Muslim-—Serial Killer of Christians-—on Disability and Food Stamps, had Diamonds and 200 Credit Cards Hidden on Texas property

Front Page Magazine | 6/20/2014 | Daniel Greenfield / FR Posted by Dqban22

This sort of thing is surprisingly common among Muslims -very few seem to have jobs but they drive around in luxury cars and are well-dressed and fed. The only reason this case came to light is because the Texas Muslim refugee committed two murders in Texas, one of which he actually got away with.

The murder of Christian believer, Gelareh Bagherzadeh, was reported earlier. Gelareh Bagherzadeh was an Iranian Christian who came to this country only to be murdered by a Muslim because she encouraged his daughter to marry the man she loved.

The Texas Muslim claimed he was too disabled to work. But he wasn’t too disabled to kill.

BACKSTORY The Texan, a strict Muslim, was furious when his Jordanian-American daughter married a man without his permission. The Muslim, Ali Mahwood-Awad Irsan, blamed his daughters husband, relatives say. They say he also faulted one of her closest friends, 30-year-old Gelareh Bagherzadeh, a Christian convert who widely denounced Islam.

<><> First Christian-believer Bagherzadeh was killed, gunned down outside her parents Texas Galleria townhouse complex in January 2012.

<><> Eleven months later, Irsan’s son-in-law died after being shot multiple times in northwest Texas, in the Harris County apartment he shared with his wife.

The Texas Muslim thought he could get away with murdering because he had already gotten away with so many other things in Texas.

Federal authorities executed a search warrant at Irsan’s sprawling, 5-acre property 40 miles north of Houston, where they allegedly found cash, diamonds, pearls, weapons and phony passports hidden in attic rafters, in secret compartments throughout a cluster of trailers and outbuildings and even inside the buried drum of a clothes dryer at the Conroe, Texas property.

The Muslim Irsan, his wife Shmou Ali Alrawabdeh, and another daughter were subsequently arrested on a variety of federal fraud charges and are in federal custody.

A federal criminal complaint detailing the discoveries recounts a saga of nearly 20 years in which the 57-year-old naturalized citizen from Jordan, and his family, allegedly scammed taxpayer disability assistance funds claiming “fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue symptoms,” and “affective disorders” while secreting real estate, vehicles and cash in US and foreign bank accounts.

The complaint also alleges the Muslim Irsan:

<><> was receiving taxpayer funds for a son not living in the US,

<><> maintained several addresses on the property to facilitate various schemes, and,

<><> once disabled a safety feature on a saw then purposefully cut himself to receive a $75,000 settlement.

The Muslim Ali was certainly industrious and entrepreneurial, just not quite in the way amnesty advocates like to claim.

Also found on the property was a makeshift gun range, which witnesses said “five or six Muslim families” frequently visited to fire AK-47s and information about Irsan’s attempts to get a silencer. Nothing to do with Islam I’m sure.

The rest of the scam ...... While there have been no allegations of terrorist ties regarding the Muslim familys alleged (a) foreign bank accounts, and, (b) suspicious wire transactions, Irsan’s strict adherence to radical Islam may have been a motive in the alleged murders.

Authorities are also re-examining a 1999 case in which Irsan was not indicted after claiming self-defense in the shooting of son-in-law Amjad Alidam, who was married to Nasemah Rachelle Irsan.

Prosecutors also revealed, in connection to the social security fraud and credit card charges against Irsan, that they found more than 200 credit cards with various names and multiple variations of his own name throughout the home.

Arresting officers say they also found more than 40 similar credit cards in his wallet the morning he was arrested. His daughter also alleges, among multiple other schemes detailed in court documents, that Ali Irsan purposely disabled the safety device on a Ryobi rotary saw and purposely cut his own foot. Prosecutors say he used that injury to receive a $75,000 settlement from the manufacturer.

From the article:

---

"As authorities investigated a cartel-linked drug group, they developed a source with links to the market. The source told the detective that he was regularly wiring money to a Mexican cartel via the market, working to pay off a $67,000 debt. He told investigators the market was a front, paying discounted rates for food stamp cards.

SNIP

It was as authorities began to look into the wire transfers that things got interesting. They all seemed to trace back to one or two accounts in Mexico City. Cooperating with Mexican Authorities, it soon became apparent exactly what the laundered money was being used to finance.

“Among the jihadists that travel back and forth through the porous southern border is a Kuwaiti named Shaykh Mahmood Omar Khabir, an ISIS operative who lives in the Mexican state of Chihuahua not far from El Paso, Texas,” authorities reported. “Khabir trained hundreds of Al Qaeda fighters in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Yemen and has lived in Mexico for more than a year,” according to information provided to Judicial Watch by a source identified only as “a high-ranking Homeland security official in a border state.”

According to the intelligence, Khabir now provides training to thousands of jihadis – mostly from Syria and Yemen – at a base in near Ciudad Juarez, which is located just across the border from El Paso, Texas. “Staking out U.S. targets is not difficult, and Khabir actually brags in an Italian newspaper article published last week that the border region is so open that he ‘could get in with a handful of men, and kill thousands of people in Texas or in Arizona in the space of a few hours.’”

This is why welfare systems are always so destructive. There is always massive amount of corruption when government hands out goodies. Always.

Well, apparently some didn't bother to click on the article to read further. Here's an excerpt:

There's other more interesting things in there, but you'll have to click...

How many more stores in Irvington, NJ are practicing this scam? Then again, how many in the entire US? It’s a boatload of money being lost.

And maybe as part of Trump’s negotiations with Mexico we can obtain the authority to attack Jihad camps there with no prior notice to Mex authorities.

Almost 1 million dollars for just ONE person defrauding the government. Can you imagine how much money is actually wasted or stolen?

Most "Authentic" Mexican food is not "Mexican" food.

Miguel Antonio Azcona pleaded guilty to a single count of theft of government funds.....running a food stamps-for-cash scheme that cost the government more than $800,000 over two years. Law enforcement officials estimate $20,000 a month in food stamps was moving through the market. Authorities say the market charged fake sales to the cards to get money out of the recipients’ state accounts. DHS officials have not yet calculated the losses of the long-running fraud

Foreign Affairs Secretary Claudia Ruiz, Mexico’s top diplomat, told the Italian newspaper the Obama administration and media are “culpably neglecting this phenomenon.” “[T]his new wave of fundamentalism could have nasty surprises in store for the United States,” Ruiz warned. “So long as the money flows freely to the Cartel to finance such operations, they region will become a new breeding ground for a North American Caliphate.”
