A former Drug Enforcement Administration manager this week pleaded guilty in federal court to wire fraud for using dozens of credit cards under the guise of fictitious DEA employees.

Keenya M. Banks, 42, of Upper Marlboro, Md., admitted to submitting 32 fake credit-card applications and using the payment cards to withdraw nearly $114,000 from ATMs in Maryland and Northern Virginia. The balances remain unpaid and delinquent, according to court documents.

As part of her plea agreement, the defendant agreed to forfeit the money from her scheme and pay full restitution. The court has scheduled a sentencing hearing for June 29.

Where were the accounting/management controls to oversee this manager? How in the world did she manage to get 32 bogus credit cards before being caught? What triggered her being caught?

This story needs more research.

Gee, sending guns to Mexican drug dealers, having employees party with drug kingpins, and now credit card fraud by people the Attorney General is supposed to be overseeing.

Can't the people Obama appoints get anything right?

Well .... Obama can't really appoint anyone .... because Obama is an undocumented worker.

You may have heard ..... a police investigation, with world class document experts, tells us that this asshole in the White House is using forged, fake documents.

Obama Birth Certificate Confirmed Forgery According To Top Experts
No attempt to even hide the forgery by those who fabricated the fraudulent document

The birth certificate in question is actually a purported copy of Barack Obama’s original birth certificate which is currently held by Hawaii’s Department of Health. This copy was posted in April of 2011 on the official whitehouse.gov website where it still appears today.

Just in case the facts contained in the subtitle are not entirely clear, the allegations concerning the fraudulent and forged birth certificate have been re-stated by competent experts as follows. The first excerpt is from an article that was recently published on a major alternative news platform.

He said Douglas Vogt, an author and the owner and operator of a scanning business who also has an accounting background, invested over two years in an investigation of the authenticity of document.

Vogt, along with veteran typesetter Paul Ivey, conducted “exhaustive research of the document provided to the White House Press Corps on April 27, 2011 – not the online PDF, a critical distinction that must be understood,” Hagmann said.

“Using their combined experience of 80 years in this realm, they conducted extensive examinations of the ‘copy’ that was used as the basis for the PDF document. They acquired the same type of equipment that was used back in the late 1950s and early 1960s in an attempt to recreate the document presented as an ‘authenticated copy’ proving the legitimacy of Barack Obama. Instead, they found 20 points of forgery on that document and detail each point of forgery in the affidavit,” wrote Hagmann.

“Even more interesting, Mr. Vogt claims to have identified the ‘signature’ of the perpetrator, or the woman who created the forged document, hidden within the document itself. Her identity, in addition to the identity of other conspirators and their precise methods are contained in a sealed document supplementing the public affidavit.”[1]

What follows is a second excerpt from the same article quoting a second graphics expert which is equally as compelling.

More recently, Grace Vuoto of the World Tribune reported that among the experts challenging the birth certificate is certified document analyst Reed Hayes, who has served as an expert for Perkins Coie, the law firm that has been defending Obama in eligibility cases.

“We have obtained an affidavit from a certified document analyzer, Reed Hayes, that states the document is a 100 percent forgery, no doubt about it,” Zullo told the World Tribune.

“Mr. Obama’s operatives cannot discredit [Hayes],” the investigator told the news outlet. “Mr. Hayes has been used as the firm’s reliable expert. The very firm the president is using to defend him on the birth certificate case has used Mr. Hayes in their cases.”

The Tribune reported Hayes agreed to take a look at the documentation and called almost immediately.

“There is something wrong with this,” Hayes said.

Hayes produced a 40-page report in which he says “based on my observations and findings, it is clear that the Certificate of Live Birth I examined is not a scan of an original paper birth certificate, but a digitally manufactured document created by utilizing material from various sources.”

“In over 20 years of examining documentation of various types, I have never seen a document that is so seriously questionable in so many respects. In my opinion, the birth certificate is entirely fabricated,” he says in the report.[1]

Not surprising. The DEA agents that threw a party on the Columbian drug kingpins' dime weren't fired, they got a slap on the wrist.

What I find interesting is that there are people reading this article right now who are doing the same thing and thinking that they will never get caught.
