WASHINGTON (AP) -- An aide to President Barack Obama is on leave from his White House job after the FBI raided his old District of Columbia government office Thursday, arresting a city employee and a technology consultant on corruption charges, a White House official said.
The charges were lodged against the two men at a federal court hearing as the FBI finished searching the city's technology office, which was led until recently by Obama's new computer chief, Vivek Kundra.
Kundra is on leave from his White House job until further details of the case become known, according to a White House official speaking on condition of anonymity because the official did not want to publicly discuss personnel matters.
At the court hearing, Yusuf Acar, the acting chief security officer in the city's technology office, was ordered held without bond pending a hearing Tuesday. Prosecutors said $70,000 in cash was found during a search of Acar's Washington home and that he posed a serious flight risk.
Technology consultant Sushil Bansal of Dunn Loring, Va., was released but was ordered not to conduct overseas financial transactions or leave the Washington metropolitan area. Bansal is due back in court on April 21, and prosecutors said they were hopeful that a plea agreement could be reached in his case.
Acar worked under Kundra, Obama's pick to coordinate federal computer systems. Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs would not say whether the White House knew the investigation was under way when it named Kundra last week, but called the case "a serious matter."
Mafara Hobson, a spokeswoman for Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty, said she was "very confident" Kundra is not a target of the investigation.
Bansal's lawyer, David Lamb declined to comment. It was not immediately clear who would represent Acar in the case.
Acar, a 40-year-old native of Turkey, had a $127,468-a-year position purchasing the city's computer equipment and lining up contract workers for numerous city agencies, according to court documents.
Authorities say Acar and Bansal, along with others, defrauded the government through a variety of schemes, including billing the city for items that were never delivered and "ghost" contract employees who did not work. The scheme involved Acar approving falsified bills and splitting the money with vendors including Bansal, who submitted them, court documents alleged.
Bansal, a native of India who turns 42 next week, is a former city employee and the founder and chief executive of Advanced Integrated Technologies Corp. The company has offices in Washington and India and did more than $13 million in business with the District of Columbia government in the past five years, according to court documents.
One contract involved providing computer support for the city's Department of Motor Vehicles. The company also was given a contract to upgrade the city's human resources computer records and sold virus detection software to the city.
In August Bansal was named entrepreneur of the year by the Association of Indians in America.
An FBI affidavit supporting the arrest warrants indicates that several other businesses and individuals were involved in the alleged schemes, but the other people are identified only by their initials.
The FBI worked with another employee in the city's technology office, who was in on the scheme and secretly recorded conversations with Acar and Bansal as part of the investigation.
In 2007, federal investigators uncovered a massive embezzlement scheme in the city's tax office.
Men and women dressed in suits and wearing latex gloves could be seen entering and leaving the glass-enclosed lobby of the Office of the Chief Technology Officer on Thursday afternoon.
Even as the raid was taking place, Kundra was giving a speech at FOSE, an annual government technology expo. Kundra said part of his focus is to change the way the government buys technologies from vendors. |

WASHINGTON (AP) -- An aide to President Barack Obama is on leave from his White House job after the FBI raided his old District of Columbia government office Thursday, arresting a city employee and a technology consultant on corruption charges, a White House official said. Guess what gets me here is the easy dismissal of any guilt by Kundra. This is his old office, of which these actions were underway while he held that office
The charges were lodged against the two men at a federal court hearing as the FBI finished searching the city's technology office, which was led until recently by Obama's new computer chief, Vivek Kundra.
Kundra is on leave from his White House job until further details of the case become known, according to a White House official speaking on condition of anonymity because the official did not want to publicly discuss personnel matters.

Bansal is due back in court on April 21, and prosecutors said they were hopeful that a plea agreement could be reached in his case.
Acar worked under Kundra, Obama's pick to coordinate federal computer systems. Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs would not say whether the White House knew the investigation was under way when it named Kundra last week, but called the case "a serious matter." Ummm, did anyone else notice that Kundra was chosen to coordinate FEDERAL computer systems with national security interests obviously involved? How about back doors, recording/keystroke devices, hidden downloading devices, etc?
Mafara Hobson, a spokeswoman for Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty, said she was "very confident" Kundra is not a target of the investigation.
Bansal's lawyer, David Lamb declined to comment. It was not immediately clear who would represent Acar in the case.
Acar, a 40-year-old native of Turkey, had a $127,468-a-year position purchasing the city's computer equipment and lining up contract workers for numerous city agencies, according to court documents. Lining up contractors to work on these computers, transferring and accessing data on not only government data, but also any data said government has on individual citizens (SS #s, DL #s, Birth Certificates, professional licensing info, personal data information, etc)...which could be backed up and sold to any number of others at a price to steal their identities
Authorities say Acar and Bansal, along with others, defrauded the government through a variety of schemes, including billing the city for items that were never delivered and "ghost" contract employees who did not work. The scheme involved Acar approving falsified bills and splitting the money with vendors including Bansal, who submitted them, court documents alleged.

The company has offices in Washington and India and did more than $13 million in business with the District of Columbia government in the past five years, according to court documents. Former city employee where and with what sort of access to what sort of info? Was it with the Dept of Motor Vehicles, or with the Dept of Vital Records? What position and what did he have access to, and what info did he use to his own advantage? Yeah, hard questions that NEED to be asked and have answers given imho.
One contract involved providing computer support for the city's Department of Motor Vehicles. The company also was given a contract to upgrade the city's human resources computer records and sold virus detection software to the city. I dont exactly know what info is on the DMV's computers, but I can only guess it's SS#s, DL #s, vehicle registration information, and whatever else...also, a city's HR records could very well contain information that could be valuable in the wrong hands...esp if someone utilizes Direct Deposit, has IRA's, as well as SS #, DL #, etc. And we all know that many virus detection programs contain back doors to vital information.
In August Bansal was named entrepreneur of the year by the Association of Indians in America.
An FBI affidavit supporting the arrest warrants indicates that several other businesses and individuals were involved in the alleged schemes, but the other people are identified only by their initials. I have a very uneasy feeling we are only getting a slight glimpse into what is going to turn into a truly ugly affair, but one that needs to happen in every corner of corporate America and governmental America.

BS. You sure did make "allusions to Obama's complicity" by the manner in which you posted your thread title.
Kundra's last day as DC's CTO was on March 4, 2009. Thus, your thread title is completely (and I believe intentionally) misleading. Did you borrow the idea for the thread title from Michelle Malkin or Matt Drudge by any chance?
For the record....
Obama official not a target in FBI raid: DC mayor
By Andy Sullivan
Reuters
Thursday, March 12, 2009; 5:13 PM
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The FBI raided the former office of Obama administration official Vivek Kundra and arrested two people in a corruption probe on Thursday, but Kundra is not a target of the investigation, a spokeswoman for Washington's mayor said.
The FBI searched the offices of the District of Columbia's chief technology officer, a post formerly held by Kundra, as part of an investigation into employee corruption there, spokeswoman Mafara Hobson said.
President Barack Obama named Kundra, 34, last week to be the federal government's chief information officer, responsible for overseeing government computer systems.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs called the investigation a "serious matter" and declined further comment.
Yusuf Acar, who works in the city's technology office, and another man, Sushil Bansal, were arrested on bribery and other charges, according to court documents.
Acar describes himself as the information office's chief security officer in a video posted on its website.
Bansal is a former Washington government employee who heads Advanced Integrated Technologies Corp., a technology firm that has won contracts from the city's technology office.
He won the Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2008 from an association of Indian-Americans. The company could not immediately be reached for comment.
According to court documents, Acar was accused of conspiring to commit bribery, fraud, money laundering and conflict-of-interest violations while Bansal was accused of conspiring to commit bribery and money laundering.
According to the documents, they allegedly took part in a variety of schemes, including billing for so-called "ghost employees," that involved stealing money from the government of the District of Columbia.

The office that was raided was the acting chief security officer's not the CTO's. So they raided a building where Vivek Kundra once worked doesn't make the same snappy title does it....
