Life in Rahm’s Chicago. Welcome back, Amer



ahmad
My drawing from July, 2014.
The poster boy for Rahm’s City Hall corruption, Amer Ahmad, is coming home.
Not home to Chicago, where he was hired by Mayor Rahm’s Chief Financial Officer, Lois Scott.
Home to Ohio where he is accused of steering $3.2 million in securities and brokerage work to a high school classmate who then kicked back $500,000 to Ahmad.
His flight back to Ohio was free.
Ahmad was extradited from Pakistan and flown to Columbus, Ohio, where he will appear for a hearing before U.S. District Court Judge Michael H. Watson at 10 a.m. Friday.
Ahmad was a fugitive in Pakistan ever since he fled the States following his conviction for bribery and conspiracy and sentenced to 15 years in prison.
His crimes had all taken place prior to Lois Scott bringing him to Chicago.
Scott was known as Rahm’s financial guru.
