NY - Twenty Fatality Traffic Crash, Schoharie County, 6 Oct 2018

[MsFacetious]

I'm pretty sure this isn't the same person as the limo owner. The owner is noted by media as 62, the Shahed in the above article is early 20s.

It's Shahyer in the above article. I believe the poster feels these are his sons since all 3 names match.

I was initially confused because the driver has a twin. However, this is referring to the owners sons who are different than the driver.

So I'm not as confused now. I think.

Daily Mail has dug up (paid for) additional unflattering details about the owner.

Owner of limousine company involved in horror crash is a former FBI terror informant | Daily Mail Online

ETA: Allegations of a murder accusation in Pakistan that caused him to flee to US via a circuitous, backdoor, route. Allegations of various lawsuits against him, primarily for unpaid bills (including legal bills). Allegations of a wealthy father and trust fund. Photos of a luxurious mansion where he lived until recently, being now in Dubai.

Possibly his sons, but it seems the limo owner is now (and according to the DM, always was) a wealthy man and his sons wouldn't need to drive taxis. One son collects revenue from the seedy motel.

I expect the name is not uncommon.

I fully believe this is only the beginning of learning about the owner and who he really is and what all he is involved in.

It is going to reach much further and deeper than the owner putting unsafe vehicles and unauthorized limo drivers on the road resulting in 20 innocent lives lost.

Once the FBI starts digging they are going to find many more activity that may be criminal in nature. IMOO

Since it's been 15 years since he was an informant on 2 terrorists who knows what a new FBI investigation will reveal now about him?

It reminds me of when state patrol officers on the interstate stops someone for speeding and then windup having a huge drug bust. Many times it starts out as a simple traffic stop and then explodes into so much more.

They need to immediately shutdown all of his bank accounts and go through all of his financial activities.

Imo this investigation is going to expand far beyond his limo service before it's all over.

He was making money at his rundown hotel yet he can't even keep his limos in compliance??? Follow the money I say.

Jmo though

WTF? “Stop the guests killing each other”


From a previous link, Hussain put the motel on his wife’s name.

I can't even believe someone would say that publically even if true.

WTH.. kind of place is this where they are trying to kill each other???

Hussain wasn’t always wealthy. His family is. He is/was a con man and cheated his way to wealth. IMO


1994

Shahed Hussain, whose family owns a chain of restaurants in Pakistan, is arrested in Karachi on a murder charge—trumped up, he says, for political reasons. His father bribes an officer to secure his release, and Hussain flees to the United States.

1995–2000

Hussain works his way up from a $4 per hour job as a gas station attendant to owning a convenience store and a house in a middle-class suburb of Albany, New York.

2000–01

Fluent in multiple languages, including Urdu and Dutch, Hussain takes a job as a DMV translator. He starts a side business helping DMV test takers cheat for $300 to $500 each.

Agree! Maybe drugs are involved?

Agree! Maybe drugs are involved?

Someone more than willing to do his dirty work for him??

I have a feeling the FBI knows all about these people. It's weird how the FBI seems to always have had previous involvement in these cases with large death tolls.

I expect the name is not uncommon.

It says in this article that one of the sons is the operator of the limo company. I might be missing something as I admittedly skipped a bunch of pages of the thread. But imo it isn’t really a common name in a town of 4,300 people.

On Monday afternoon, Hussain's son, Nauman Hussain, who has operated the limo company, met with investigators from the State Police's major crimes unit,

Sadly, those little old timey motels, where families used to drive up to the door in their wood-panelled station wagon to sleep for a few hours during a long drive, are now often occupied by druggies, prostitutes, petty criminals and other unsavoury elements. It's very hard for decent people who don't have money to find equally decent places to stay.

IMO, these places eventually get bought by owners who see them as a potential real estate bonanza. They run them at minimal expense, take all the profit they can by not turning anyone away, and simply bide their time until they can cash in.

I'm afraid this is no surprise at all. Driver licencing fraud is a huge problem with some immigrant and ethnic communities in the UK. It's predominantly a Muslim problem and a Pakistani Muslim problem at that. It's quite common for one male to obtain a driving licence and to start driving a taxi, but then for various brothers and cousins to drive in shifts, producing the single licence if ever challenged.

It's also a problem, unfortunately, that many Muslims hold local secular law in contempt, observing only Sharia. At least, this is a problem in the UK and may or may not be the same in the US.

I do not know for sure -- but Cohen and his pal were doing a lot of this

The rise and fall of New York City's 'Taxi King' who reportedly agreed to cooperate with the government as a potential witness against longtime business partner Michael Cohen

the difference I would think would be Cohen is doing it on a huge scale he is begging prosecutors at this time to avoid prison sentences and the taxi guy is talking

The rise and fall of New York City's 'Taxi King' who reportedly agreed to cooperate with the government as a potential witness against longtime business partner Michael Cohen

so i think this might be kinda common with taxi stuff !

Sabotage suspected at motel, cottages in Wilton

yuk!!

 

[CARIIS]

Thank you NTSB for repeating the questions before answering them!!

ty so much! I love my NTSB

they are the only govt entity i know of that is real

they will tell us stuff in the next 72 hours

and then go away for like a year

and then their report comes out

it is incredible reading !

Have no idea how I figured out at like 13 to request their airline accident reports!

But they came in a manilla envelope (blue cover meant FINAL)

reading their accident reports is reading a true crime story

lets hope the FBI stays away-- they block everything! The New York medaillian market for taxi and transport stuff is like huge

The mafia guy of it is hanging out with Mueller -- its like really big money!!

I hope the passengers were videoing at the time of the crash and it's been uploaded to the cloud.
