White House crashers named in 16 civil suits

白宫不速之客在16项民事诉讼中被指名

 

Washington (CNN) -- The Virginia couple accused of crashing President Obama's first White House state dinner on Tuesday are named in at least 16 different civil suits in Fauquier County, sometimes as plaintiffs, sometimes as defendants.

 

A trawl through court records on Thursday revealed a more complete picture of Tareq and Michaele Salahi, who have left an extensive paper trail in federal bankruptcy and state court filings.

 

The couple was spotted rubbing elbows with the likes of Vice President Joe Biden and Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel at Tuesday's dinner, but the Secret Service says they were not invited.

 

A Secret Service checkpoint "did not follow proper procedures" to determine if the two were on the guest list, said Edwin M. Donovan, a Secret Service special agent, in a statement.

 

The incident represents a security breach for the White House at the Obama administration's biggest social event to date. More than 300 guests, including Cabinet members, diplomats and Hollywood celebrities, attended the dinner in honor of visiting Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

 

The couple did not respond to CNN requests for comment Thursday.

 

"At this time the Salahis will not make any formal comments regarding the rumors and media speculation surrounding the White House state dinner," their publicist, Mahogany Jones, said in a statement. "Their counsel, Paul W. Gardner Esq., states emphatically that the Salahis' did not 'crash' this event. We look forward to setting the record straight very soon."

 

Asked for comment on the Salahi's legal difficulties, Jones said in an e-mail, "We will begin doing press and media next week providing exclusive interviews and press junkets. If you would like to be considered in our media circuit we request that you hold your proposed published profile until then."

 

A page on Facebook, apparently maintained jointly by the Salahis, paints them as high rollers, listing their interests as polo, wine, and diplomatic relations, among others.

 

A separate Facebook fan page dedicated to Michaele that appears to be run by her says, "I was honored to be invited to attend the First State Dinner hosted by President Obama & the First Lady to honor India."

 

The page in her name is full of pictures showing her at social events around Washington.

 

But the two also spend quite a bit of time in court, records show.

 

One of the lawsuits against the Salahis was filed by Robb Levin of Fairfax, Virginia, who held his wedding at the Oasis Winery in August 2005.

 

"I have a judgment against them," he said by phone on Thursday. "The settlement was for $15,000, plus interest from June 2008. They haven't paid a penny."

 

Levin contracted with the winery to provide vendors, such as florists and catering, for the event. But, he said, he discovered the winery was adding a "significant profit" to what the vendors were charging them. "Vendors told me what they were charging. They were charging me two or three times as much," he said. When he tried to use his own vendors, he said, he was fined $1,000.

 

After he signed a contract to hold his wedding there, "They were very, very, very hard to get a hold of," he said.

 

"I remember [the contract] being very short and it just said to hold the date. When I went back, I found it said they could charge my credit card at will. At the time I signed it I don't remember all those pages being there. I don't remember a whole 8- or 12-page document," Levin said. "There were thousands of dollars charged to my card with no explanation."

 

He fought with the Salahis, dealing mostly with Michaele, throughout the run-up to his nuptials, he said.

 

"They wanted more money and I wasn't releasing it," he said. "They threatened me with lawyers. They threatened to cancel the wedding."

 

In the end, Levin said, he paid up to make sure the wedding went ahead, then sued the Salahis afterward to get his money back.

 

Tareq and Michaele, meanwhile, were engaged in a long court battle with his parents over the winery.

 

Court records show Tareq sued his mother, Corinne, and the case was dismissed.

 

Corinne sued Tareq and the case went to trial. The outcome is not clear from a Virginia courts Web site.

 

Tareq and Michaele won control of the winery in 2007, but it has run into debt since then.

 

Oasis Winery filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in February, according to U.S. Bankruptcy Court records in the Eastern District of Virginia. Tareq Salahi is listed as company president in the filing. Creditors listed include the IRS, Fauquier County, the state of Virginia, several banks and American Express Corp., among others. The company claims about $335,000 in assets and $965,000 in liabilities.

 

Among the debts listed are more than $60,000 in credit card debt and an "unknown" amount in federal back taxes.

"Debtor has not filed corporate taxes since tax year 2006," the filing says. "Has always previously had business loss, with refund flowing to shareholders."

 

Also listed is a $65 parking ticket in Montgomery County, Maryland, nearly $3,000 in gasoline purchases to Exxon-Mobil and more than $95,000 in legal fees.

 

According to the February filing, Oasis made $1.7 million in 2007 but only $35,000 in 2008. The filing lists two pending lawsuits against Oasis, one for more than $300,000 for "catering services" and one judgment against the company.

 

Under "repossessions," the filing lists a 2004 Aston Martin, which it estimates was worth $150,000 when it was repossessed in October 2008. Some $85,000 was still owed, according to the filing. In addition, a boat valued at $90,000 was repossessed in June 2008, with $56,000 still owed, according to court documents.

 

The company also had closed a checking account, $3,800 in the red, about a year before the filing.

 

Oasis owes $224,000 "for rental of FedEx Redskins Suite and related hospitality services," according to court documents.

The Chapter 7 filing, under which a debtor's assets are sold to pay creditors, followed an apparent effort to save the winery earlier.

 

The business had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December 2008, with Salahi's mother, Corinne, listing herself as president.

 

A Chapter 11 bankruptcy is referred to as a "reorganization" bankruptcy, according to the federal judiciary's Web site.

In addition to federal bankruptcy, Tareq and Michaele may now face criminal charges.

 

The incident represents a security breach for the White House at the Obama administration's biggest social event to date. More than 300 guests, including Cabinet members, diplomats and Hollywood celebrities, attended the dinner.

 

If they lied to federal agents in order to get into the White House dinner, that is a federal crime, said Fran Townsend , CNN national security contributor.

 

The agents tasked with protecting the president "did not follow proper procedures," Secret Service agent Edwin Donovan said in a statement, but said the gatecrashers went through metal detectors "and other levels of security."

 

The Salahis are aspiring reality-TV stars who hoped to land roles in the forthcoming show, "The Real Housewives of D.C.," by the Bravo cable network, The Washington Post reported.

 

In a statement Thursday, Bravo said, "Michaele Salahi is under consideration as a cast member, as such [series producer] Half Yard Productions were filming the Salahis on that day. Half Yard was only aware that per the Salahis they had been invited [to the state dinner] as guests."

 

Video of the dinner showed the couple walking past journalists into the event.

 

The couple also appears to have posted pictures on Facebook purportedly showing them gaining access to high profile events during inauguration week, according to The Washington Post's Reliable Sources gossip column.

 

Pictures on the couple's joint Facebook account appear to show them in the first family's glass-enclosed viewing area after a concert at the Lincoln Memorial, according to the Post.

 

"Tareq & Michaele were honored to be invited to President Obama's private viewing box at the Lincoln Memorial," the Facebook posting from inauguration weekend reportedly reads. "Naturally this picture was taken after his departure."

 

Other pictures purportedly show them mingling with celebrities during inauguration weekend, including talk show host Oprah Winfrey at the Kennedy Center, according to the Post.

 

CNN's Richard Allen Greene, Shannan Butler and Ashley Hayes contributed to this report.

 

White House crashers named in 16 civil suits 

google自动翻译：白宫在16个不速之客命名民事诉讼

或如果翻译为“…被指名16项民事诉讼”那就成大笑话啦~

 按词法语法翻译该译为

“白宫不速之客在16项民事诉讼中被指名（或提名）”

比较合适

当然从题目上你可以理解为

按美国的法律被提名者

可能涉嫌与民事纠纷有关联或没有

怎样理解都可以

如果按读者思维习惯

那恐怕又要给谁定下什么罪名啦~

 

 

 不知道为什么

两位女主播报道时

均出现过一次用词打磕吧

不知道是不是太小心谨慎的缘故

CNN视频新闻直播一样说话要十分谨慎而且特别注意用词

一旦针对新闻人物的描述有误

或对其行为有不同看法

一激动说错了话

恐怕要被公众拿来当话柄或成为大家茶余饭后的谈资

新闻记者主持要不要带有情绪？或只作为第三者冷眼看世界？

至今很多主持和记者都纠缠不清，并纠结ing！

 他们真的是单身吗？让iPhone用户查询约会（对象）的结婚与离婚记录，或预期约会（对象）

 

Is your date a 'stud or dud?' Ask your phone

你的约会（对象）是一个“风流男人或者花花公子吗？”（请或可以）查询你的电话（手机）

 

(CNN) -- If that dreamy blind date seems too good to be true, or the guy at the bar with a martini and a pencil-thin moustache looks a little sketchy, the truth about them -- or at least some of it -- could be found on your phone.

 

Designers at a pair of companies say their new applications for smartphones can tell you in real time whether someone is married or divorced, has a criminal record, has filed for bankruptcy or has any number of potential red flags in their past.

.....智能手机的新应用可以实时告诉某人是否结婚，离婚，有无犯罪记录，是否已申请破产，或有潜在的红旗在他们过去的数量中。....

Using Google to search for information on a prospective romantic partner is standard practice for many single people in the digital age. But these new apps, combined with the growth of smartphones and wireless networks, now allow for quick background checks on the go, potentially before a date is even over.

 

The lighthearted iPhone apps Stud or Dud? and Are They Really Single? -- from online information broker PeopleFinders -- have far-reaching potential for convenient snooping, and not just on potential dates. Their makers say that in today's society it's increasingly important to check out people's backstories.

 

"There are more and more strangers in people's lives," said Bryce Lane, president of the PeopleFinders Network. "There's this digital awakening where people are in online communities -- they're meeting people they don't have information on.

 

"We think that's a problem. Yes, there are a lot of opportunities to meet great new people, but a lot of people are misrepresenting who they are."

 

Meanwhile, another data company, Intelius, is offering a similar app called DateCheck for the Android and BlackBerry, with other platforms in the works.

 

Marketed with the slogan, "Look up before you hook up," the application has such features as a Sleaze Detector, which checks for criminal offenses, and $$$, which uses property ownership records to gauge someone's financial assets.

 

DateCheck offers some less-serious information, too. Its Interests feature trolls for information on educational background, social networking activities and professional history while Compatibility compares the subject's horoscope and astrological sign with the user's.

 

With Stud or Dud? the user punches in as much information as they have on their subject. Results can range from past addresses, real estate ownership and business and professional licenses to bankruptcies, evictions, criminal records and what the company calls "possible relationships."

 

Are They Really Single? scans marriage and divorce records.

 

Accurate searches also require a date of birth, which may be tricky to extract tactfully from someone on a first or second date.

Lane said all information comes from public records that are available to anyone. But PeopleFinders, which has been collecting data for more than 20 years from sources all over the United States, pulls it all together into one database.

 

"We're hoping they're fun apps and they're helping you learn about the people that you come into contact with," Lane said. "They're easy to use and we're pretty hopeful that they're going to be popular."

 

Both PeopleFinders apps will only return results on people 18 or older.

 

Advocates of online privacy say they see some problems.

 

Paul Stephens, a director at consumer group Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, said the main danger lies in thinking you've dug up dirt on someone when you've actually found someone else.

 

"If you only have limited information about the individual, it's going to be culling from various sources that may or may not [find] the person you're trying to investigate," said Stephens. "You need to take the information with a grain of salt."

 

While the iPhone apps are aimed at dating, the information is bound to be used in other ways, he said.

 

"In the case of a person not dating somebody, it's not that big a deal," said Stephens. "But we've had cases where somebody might not get a job because of an inaccuracy [from online information brokers], so it does become a big deal."

 

He said his group, based in San Diego, California, would like to see more organizations regulated by the same federal laws that monitor fair and accurate credit reporting.

 

Lane, whose PeopleFinders Web site offers detailed background checks on people for a fee, said he's providing a public service by making legally available information more accessible.

 

"We feel very strongly that it's educational, it's informative, it's actually helping the public," he said. "It's what you don't know about people that could potentially hurt you."

 

He said the applications clearly show when results include multiple people and tell users that the more detail they provide, the more likely they will get an exact match.

 

Lane said anyone who asks can be removed from the company's database, but he suggested that most of those who do have something to hide.

 

"Criminals ... of course they don't want this information out there," he said.

 

In a column on technology Web site Gizmodo, editor Rosa Golijan described the PeopleFinders apps as fun and joked that it was depressing to find out how many of her ex-boyfriends were "duds."

 

She also noted at least one apparent glitch, when Are They Really Single? told her that a former high school sweetheart might be married to his grandmother. (In fairness, the app did say it was unlikely.)

 

Golijan dismissed privacy concerns, saying most of the info on the apps could be found "from a few clever Google searches."

"I don't think there's reason to panic about privacy due to this app," she said. "The same information and searches have been available for a long time."
