LexisNexis ID Breach Worse Than Thought
NEW YORK — A man has been charged with possessing an illegal cache of about 1,000 counterfeit law enforcement badges, authorities said Tuesday.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested Sergio Khorosh on Monday at his Bronx home after he accepted delivery of about 100 fake U.S. Marshals Service (search) shields. The delivery was being monitored by the agents, who had first intercepted the badges last month in a shipment from Taiwan to San Francisco.
During a search of Khorosh's home, agents discovered about 1,000 more badges, some resembling those of the FBI (search), Drug Enforcement Administration (search) and New York Police Department (search), court papers said. Also found were six firearms, including semiautomatic pistols.
Authorities were investigating whether Khorosh was supplying police impersonators.
"We think this goes way beyond collectors," said Martin D. Ficke, special agent in charge for ICE's New York office.
Khorosh faces charges of illegal transport of counterfeit badges and weapons possession. He was ordered held on $50,000 bail.
This is interesting. When Consulate matricula cards are being pushed down our throats from the Mexican Government. Fake and fraudulante ones being purchased off the street by anyone who has a couple hundred dollars. We seem to be consentrating on only those from the Middle East and Europe. I am willing to bet my next paycheck on the fact that we would find a massive amount of fake I.D. cards being pressed upon the street by Mexican Consulates and the Mexican Government being sold on the streets openly then from the Middle East. Sure there are those who think the only way they will ever get to America is through illegal entry. However State sponsered invasion of our soveriegn territory by foriegn governments (ie: Mexico) isnt that an act of WAR?
Untill President Bush decides to get tough on immigration problems this country will be under invasion from south of the boarder by those who really do not seek a better life but by those who seek to sponge off of us.
