Kundra Takes Leave of Absence

Until his appointment by President Barack Obama as CIO less than two weeks ago, Kundra was chief technology officer for the District of Columbia. But yesterday, Kundra's former ninth-floor office in a downtown government building was a crime scene. A police officer was stationed in the office lobby while investigators searched through records.
A White House official confirmed today that Kundra took a leave of absence from his new CIO job shortly after federal investigators arrested two men in the D.C. government office on bribery charges. The official would not elaborate on the reasons for the leave; there were no indications yesterday that Kundra was involved in any wrongdoing.

Not a lot can be read into the leave of absence. A guilty man might not take one; an innocent man might take one, to let things get sorted out so he can return without suspicion.

For how long did Acar work under Kundra? Did they have a past history? Did Kundra recommend or hire Acar?

That seems pretty relevant. But I haven't seen the answer yet.

Some Background: Seems like Kundra was doing business with AITC for a long time.

The business had a preference in being hired due to being a "small, local disadvantaged" company. Yay for government discrimination in choosing small, local, disadvantaged and worthy companies with which to do business.

Thanks to AHFF Geoff.

2 For anyone who wants to take the time to peruse it, the corruption ran deeper than just one individual in Kundra's office, as reported in the FBI Affidavit:

At a minimum all of this happening right under Kundra's nose reflects very poorly on his management skills...and should disqualify him from continuing in his new post.

10 Scary background:

Let's begin with the contractor, Advanced Integrated Technologies Corp. (AITC). Its CEO, Sushil Bansal, was arrested in connection with the case.

AITC received a lot of work from the District of Columbia. The only "case studies" and press releases on the company's Web site concern IT projects for the District. Court documents show that since 2004, the company has done more than $13 million in business with the District. One contract, which began in July 2008 and is listed on the D.C. government Web site, was for "services" that are "not to exceed $10,000,000." Kundra was appointed in 2007.

AITC is listed by the District as being "small, local disadvantaged" on the contract, which means it's qualified to receive preferred procurement and contracting opportunities. But while AITC may be based in D.C., the company touts its offshore operations in India. Does that still count as local? What made AITC's capabilities stand out in this competitive market?

Did AITC send District IT work offshore? If that's the case, will Kundra, as federal CIO, encourage U.S. agencies -- and by extension, commercial businesses -- to send IT work offshore?

The management abilities of Yusuf Acar, the acting chief IT security officer who was arrested, are open to question, too. Was something missed in the background checks? Hello, auditors?

Kundra wants to move IT in new directions and onto new platforms, and he's established himself as a visionary. But this bribery case will bring to the forefront questions about his capabilities as a manager.

13 There are at least 2-3 other employees referred to in the FBI Affidavit by their initials that were actively involved in this corruption, in addition to an informant who was working with the FBI. I can only imagine that the others have not been named/charged yet because they are still investigating. The Affidavit makes pretty clear that they moved on Acar now because he was monitoring email traffic with investigators (pg 29-30) and was deemed a flight risk.

So there is more to come on this I'm sure...

14 HYSTERICAL detail from NY Daily News:

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.

16 Wes - the official FBI language is that Kundra is not a "target" of the investigation.

No word on "subject"

Sounds a lot like the Fitz re Emanuel and Valerie et al right after the Blago arrest.

17 There is no surprise here. Almost every govt project (and some large corporate projects as well) that is contracted out to their fav consultatnts, results in kickbacks to the sponsors. The consultants bill the govt for a lot more money than what they should, and split it with the sponsor (or patron!). Win-win for both! Of course the tax payers (govt) loses, but who cares.

20 Another interesting tidbit - even though he qualified as a disadvantaged, local minority business to get preferential treatment in DC, the arrested businessman CEO was an h1b visa holder. Surely committing felony bribery should be a reason to question one's immigration status? Of course the DC court released him on his own recognizance

Acar, a native of Turkey,who earned $127,000 a year, and Bansal, who is not a US citizen but a H-1B visa holder, were arraigned in DC Federal Court on March 12 afternoon, and Acar was held in jail without bail as he was a flight risk--since he had been heard on the wiretaps saying that he intended to flee to his homeland since he felt the conspiracy would be uncovered.

Bansal was released on his own recognizance. Both were asked to surrender their passports, and Acar had a preliminary hearing on March 17 and Bansal ordered to appear in court on April 21. He was also ordered not to engage in any overseas financial transactions.

22 Kundra is toast, at best he's a complete incompetent.
I find it hard to believe that with that many Indians involved there wasn't some sensitive info being passed to the home country, probably through AITC.

25 I will actually be very surprised if Kundra is directly implicated in any of this. However, accountability and transparency was a major focus for him at the DC OCTO...and undoubtably he touted his accomplishments in this area to get the White House gig. Meanwhile a key direct report and others in his group were brazenly committing fraud...right under his nose...and in spite of the controls he instituted. And to those who might claim that he was not actively engaged in contract staffing issues, take a look at this video of Kundra from just last year:

27 Wes - agreed.

The truth is the only two options re Kundra are:

1. He's completely fucking incompetent as an executive/manager as evidenced by the massive fraud scheme occurring "right under his nose" Keep in mind about a million times more money in contracts will be under Kundra's purview as a Federale
(egads)

OR

2. He's in on it or looked the other way.

Neither allows him to continue.

Rediff India Abroad:

Sources, continued to maintain that there was no indication as of now that Kundra was involved in any way in the alleged conspiracy or was aware of it, but other sources said that FBI agents had visited his DC condo building to speak to him, but had gone away after being told Kundra was not in.

39 This is about the most common scam there is in government. For the last twenty years D.C. has been having these arise all over the city. In fact the D.C. council changed the rules on the size of contract they must approved to like 100K from 1 million as all the department heads under the last few mayors were giving their friends 999K worth of contracts. You are also right that the desire to use D.C. and minority owned businesses has helped this problem as there are only so many qualified to do the job. There is just too much temptation in the budget.

81 Certainly watches are Replica Watches used to help people record rolex Watches time, but rolex watches nowadays its functions have enlarged. Replica watches are now tag heuer Watches not only objects that tag heuer watches can tell you what time it is, they are also a status symbol.

In that situation, the watch is just showing its luxurious function cartier watches. It is normal and cartier watches perhaps also happens to you. .If asked that among the watches of various brands, which one can suit your taste? There is no doubt that most people will choose Rolex. Whichever social class you are in, it is naturally Rolex was known breitling Watches and cherished breitling watches for a long time. However, the elements do not usually enter the market alone, always come with the price tag up to the hand. For this reason, many people, especially men, their dreams of luxury Rolex watches are buried in omega Watches his heart omega watches. What should I do? Rolex watches are simply stunning worn by the rich and famous, right? No, this world is not the world's richest men, is the world of each. All are equal before the search of luxury and be men's watches respected. Within men's watches, the law, when consumers are in the market, women's watches they should women's watches receive the same treatment. This is the real reason why replica Rolex watches are ladies watches ladies watches more welcome than Rolex. Because in this world are not difficult to understand that the rich are much less than people with low income, you agree with me? You are forced to nod and say with certainty that is the reality. These low-income people do not have enough money to save every month. They can not afford such luxury Rolex watches

Others suppose that there is a single Oyster watch. But as a matter of fact, the name Oyster does not actually meant for a rolex Watches particular watch you can buy rolex watches or even to a series but to a type of case that available in some of the Rolex ranges. History The Oyster case was first released in 1926. The objective was to protect the workings of the watch from dust and moisture. Early watches were far from waterproof. The Oyster tag heuer Watchescase was an tag heuer watches innovative design to eliminate these problems. It had a new double locking crown that screwed into place. It has been compared to the hatch on a submarine. Like a submarine, the Oyster case was waterproof. In 1927 Mercedes Gleitze swam the English breitling Watches Channel breitling watches . Before she set off she was presented with a Rolex Oyster. When she arrived, the watch was still working perfectly. The resulting publicity gave the new case a massive boost. Why is it called Oyster? Legend has it that Hans cartier Watches Wilsdorf cartier watches, who invented the Oyster, chose the name because the new case reminded him of the difficulty he had experienced prising open oysters at dinner. Since then the Oyster has further, particularly advanced. Many Oyster watches today are omega Watches perpetual-self-winding, in other omega watches words, it does not require to expose the mechanism to the outside world in order to wind it.
