Earlier data indicates Imran was quite the landowner and operator.
HAT TIP LUKE ROSIAK, DAILY CALLER
The Awans owned numerous homes that operated as rental properties.
Interviews w/ tenants revealed the Awans demanded cash or blank money orders as rental payments.
DEMOCRATS’ IT, IMRAN AWAN, FINDS TIME TO BROKER REAL ESTATE-—Virginia licensing documents show that Imran Awan became a licensed real estate broker during the time period he was earning $160,000 tax dollars from House Democrats. The licensing process requires certifying that the applicant was working “an average of at least 40 hours per week” as a real estate agent at the time. Brokers typically supervise real estate agents and handle large amounts of money.
HAT TIP PTSAL—— All of the Awan’s property record data, appraisals, home inspections, title reports, mortgage applications, escrow disbursement records, etc. are archived in the cloud. IMHO, many people KNEW and used nuanced language in their reports that avoided words that would trigger an audit. At the lowest level start w/ the appraisers because these licensed professions had to physically inspect these properties owned by the AWANS.
EXHIBIT B——The scam Imran Awan pulled at the Congressional Federal Credit Union
for which he is under indictment has the potential to open a can of worms.
<><> there is a paper trial——Imran’s loans should be well-documented.
<><> One document to be examined is the appraisal, particularly the FORM NUMBER of the appraisal.
<><>A home appraisal would be on one form, while an income property would be on another.
<><> Falsifications here starts to unravel the story.
<><>The appraiser is obligated to archive the file for five years. Many appraiser are archived on the cloud with national data services.
<><>The Awans apparently had a number of facilitators. Is there any commonality in the service providers associated with the multiple property purchases that are reportedly associated with the Awan clan? Real estate agent, title company, escrow, closing attorney, appraiser, home inspector, etc. So many of these folks have been on-site and seen something, IMHO.
<><> important to know that appraisers are regulated at the state-level.
Two sources said that in recent weeks, Imran has discussed providing third parties with money and having them travel to New York City to buy and return with a 1-kilogram gold bar. “He wants to hide his money,” one source said in relation to the gold.
(NOTE better check Imran’s toothpaste——one thief turned his money into diamonds and stuffed them in a toothpaste tube to get it out of the USA.)
That's very common. Many agents work full time on something else, e.g. sales, and do the real estate on the side. The money in real estate is tracked carefully, there's not going to any opportunities to launder or mishandle it.
OMG!!
