14th Annual CAIR Gala: Dinner, Fraud, Racketeering Summons Served

Council on American-Islamic Relations:
Anyone CAIR for an After-Dinner Summons?

---

Racketeering? Fraud? Sound's like CAIR's been having a grand ole time over the past few years.

The guy speaking at the time of the serving of the summons is MN congressman Keith Ellison. This is the press release by SANE (Society of Americans for National Existence), a multi faith, anti-terror advocacy group (video follows):

Four clients of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) have filed a federal civil complaint alleging criminal fraud and racketeering against CAIR, a self-described public interest civil rights law firm. The lawsuit also names CAIR's national leadership as individual defendants...

The defendants were served with the complaint and summons to appear while attending the CAIR 14th Annual Dinner Sunday night in Arlington, Virginia. Congressman Ellison (D-Minn) was a guest speaker at this affair.

The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleges that Morris Days, the “Resident Attorney” and “Manager for Civil Rights” at the now defunct CAIR MD/VA chapter in Herndon, Virginia, was in fact not an attorney and that he failed to provide legal services for clients who came to CAIR for assistance and who had paid for CAIR legal services.

While attorney David Yerushalmi represents the four plaintiffs in this particular lawsuit, two of whom are African American Muslims, the complaint alleges that according to CAIR internal documents, there were hundreds of victims of the CAIR-Days fraud scheme.

According to the complaint, CAIR failed to conduct a background check on Days prior to hiring him and when they did discover his massive fraud, they immediately set about to cover it up. CAIR officials purposefully concealed the truth about Days from their clients, law enforcement, the Virginia and D.C. state bar associations, and the media. When CAIR did get irate calls from clients about Days’ failure to provide competent legal services, CAIR fraudulently deceived their clients about Days’ relationship to CAIR, suggesting he was never actually employed by CAIR, and even concealed the fact that CAIR had fired him for criminal fraud.

Coroner's Investigator Charged with Living It Up on Dead Man's Credit Card

Bad Luck Seems to Follow Some People




Talk about bad luck: David Workman has had it in spades lately.

A former investigator for the Jefferson County (OH) Coroner's Office, Workman was arrested on June 20, after he stole a credit card.

From a dead man at the county morgue.

He might have gotten away with it IF he hadn't tried using the dead man's card to pay for over $400 of services at a strip club in Weirton, WV.

Apparently, the staff at the strip club knew Workman so well, that they knew his first name and became suspicious when he presented the card and signed the dead man's name to pay his bill.

After Workman's July 2 appearance in Hancock County (WV) Magistrate Court, Workman shook his head and called the charges a "bum rap." Caught on video tape after his arrest, Workman was reported saying that the theft of the credit card was "not intentional," and called his use of the dead man's credit card, "purely an accident".

He did not respond to a reporter's question about whether signing the dead man's name to the bill was an accident.

Workman was fired after his arrest in June, after being employed by the coroner's office for seven years.

This is a lot of bad luck.

But wait--there's more.

While awaiting trial on the credit card charges, Workman was arrested on August 20, in Steubenville OH, in a prostitution sting that resulted in 10 people arrested for soliciting.

No reports on how Workman attempted to pay the undercover officer posing as a prostitute.

Workman was then scheduled to appear in the Steubenville Municipal Court on the prostitution charges the next day in Steubenville, but he was also scheduled to appear in a Hancock County court the same day to stand trial for the credit card charges.

No reports at this time on how the scheduling conflict was worked out.

Several years ago, Workman was involved in another incident.

According to police reports, in September 2005, a driver called Saline Township (OH) police claiming Workman impersonated a police officer. The complaint accused Workman of using a flashing light on his car to pull a vehicle over on County Road 50. Workman was accused of approaching the driver with a gun and his coroner’s badge.

Workman was never charged in that case.

And some people complain that their lives are "boring".
