It was 10 years ago this month that Hillary Clinton made a campaign stop in Beaumont, Texas on her way to the 2016 presidential nomination. Only 6 people arrived to greet her at the airport. She held a secretive 2-hour fund raiser at a private home, scooped up $400K, and then took off. Beaumont is a small town 90 miles east of Houston. What Beaumont democrat could be so influential? Meet Pakistani “business” man, Muhammed Tahir Javed. Sit tight for the wild story. 

Javed Faces DOJ Heat Over COVID Funds

Federal agents dig deep into Tahir Javed. Reports tie him to a massive probe. It involves up to $35 million in shady COVID-19 relief schemes. Think PPP loans gone wrong. Associates allegedly faked applications, grabbed cash, and laundered it. Meanwhile, his Riceland Healthcare network faces questions. Did they misuse funds for fake services? However, no formal indictment hits Javed directly yet. Still, the spotlight burns hot.

Old Felony Theft Haunts Tahir Javed

Javed’s past isn’t clean. Back in 1994, Texas courts nailed him for felony theft. He got five years deferred probation after a 1990 offense. Theft by receiving – that’s the charge. He finished it quietly. Yet this conviction popped up later. It cost him a big gig in Pakistan. He served briefly as an advisor to their caretaker prime minister. Officials sacked him fast once the record surfaced. Imagine being so corrupt that the government of Pakistan rejects you. But that didn’t stop Hillary from taking his cash.

Healthcare Fraud Claims Dog Tahir Javed Empire

Riceland Healthcare draws fire too. A 2018 False Claims Act suit accused the group of billing Medicare and Medicaid falsely. Whistleblowers said claims got inflated or invented. Kickbacks allegedly played a role. The case ended in 2023 without big wins. Yet parallel probes linger. They link to those COVID relief scams. Javed’s family runs dozens of Texas companies. Many share addresses. Suspicious? You bet.

Murder Allegation in Pakistan Shocks Many

Now the real shocker. In 2008, a young man named Wahab Anwar died in Pakistan. He worked at Javed’s Lahore home. Reports claim Javed shot him because he suspected an affair between Anwar and his wife. He passed days later. Police investigated. But Javed settled via local laws. He paid blood money and arranged a family marriage. That cleared things legally there. Javed denies it all. Still, Pakistani authorities review the case again. Ties to his U.S. troubles fuel the fire.

Tahir Javed’s Rise and Rocky Road

Javed came to America and built big. Healthcare, investments – you name it. He even ran for office here. His son tried too. Politics in Pakistan pulled him in briefly. Yet scandals keep chasing. From old theft to new probes, questions pile up. How does one man dodge so much? So, what happens when ambition meets accountability – does justice finally catch up, or does the system let it slide again?
