... which is exactly why we want these irksome govt regulators off of our backs. If the poor over-worked manager had been given a bigger tax cut, he wouldn't have had to resort to such unfortunate compensatory measures.

Thank goodness for diversity. Yet another example of criminals from other cultures infiltratIng our country to commit crimes in order to send money back to their homeland.

Mrs. Mittens - I'm with you - let's help Mr. Waqar "celebrate diversity" by either cutting off his hand or stoning him to death. Funny how these people are all for Sharia law until they get caught doing something - then they want to lenient Kamala Harris "no punishment for criminals" American justice system.

they got caught!

Doesn't say how they caught them.

Wonder how many more scams like this there are out there?

Interesting-It says:

They were ordered to pay $1,803,667 in restitution to Kaiser and $133,044 to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, Haag said.

But Kaiser only paid $1.8 million- so it appears the IRS wants to tax the same money that the thieves have to give back?

I've heard it said: Don't Steal- The gov't hates competition!

Great idea Mr. Teller, Sharia law, see how he would support it if it applied to him............That's why they come to America they know they can pull this crap and get a mild sentence if any.............

Ummmmm - did anyone realize 2 of the 3 individuals did NOT come to America but did it from Windsor, Ontario, CANADA?

Geez, did Cholo crawl out of the woodwook? We haven't heard from him in a while, and his absence was very-much appreciated by all.

"these people"? "Sharia law"?

I don't see anything in this article about "sharia law". Who are "these people"? What are you talking about?

Reason why I have never and never will trust/welcome "these" people. The are the worse criminals and "cons"

I work at Kaiser and know of him. Years ago, I hear his name mentioned when projects he was working on came up. I never worked on any of his projects but I saw him around the office. What fascinated me with this guy was how his name was pronounced. I would hear "Awesome" this and "Awesome" that in the office. I never knew how it was spelled until now. I was shocked when the news of the fraud first broke(years ago). Sad how greed can make people do these things.

i agree with armpit...it's ALL ABOUT GREED! i guess they enjoyed believing for a minute that they wouldn't get caught...BUSTED!

Posted by Cholo, a resident of Livermore, on Aug 29, 2012 at 7:02 pm

If pete doesn't approve of the folks that out-slicked kaiser, then go back to where your ancestors came from...now give it a good flush!
