Back in 2015, the brothers pled guilty in Virginia to a scheme involving wire fraud and computers. Muneeb was sentenced to three years in prison, while Sohaib got two.

I'm not gonna say there were signs that these two weren't the most law abiding of citizens to begin with, buuuuut...

I briefly worked with a government client that would bring in prison laborers to collect trash. From the IT building of the tax agency.

But don't worry, they were just white collar criminals. You know, people who only went to jail for stealing... financial data... The very thing that was accessible in that building.

Genius.

Company only paid for a 7 year background check, so you mis them getting out of prison 8 years ago.
