Why are we not talking more about this? I think it's worth celebrating that a person who could be spending time on his business is instead working towards improving the community.

According to reliable sources, Sheikhani's net worth currently stands in the billions. This staggering figure is a testament to his entrepreneurial prowess

I don't know anything about this guy at all but I don't think a puff piece on his personal website is the best independent source of anything, much less his net worth.

It looks like he mostly owns vape shops amongst some other ventures, none of which scream billionaire to me. Wikipedia states he is worth $82MM but I do not know where that number came from either.

Live in Sugar Land and had no idea...not that I really follow local politics much. He advertised like crazy during his campaign and was not surprised when he won.

Gas stations, fast food restaurants, construction companies, and vape shops. It looks like money laundering could be his primary business.

I read he was a cop before. Then he decided to run for constable. True servant of the community.

How does he run all those companies and philanthropic ventures while serving as constable?

We need a Buford T. Justice type who is focused on the law.

Interest-free loans for immigrants. Family businesses so the wealth stays contained. And tons of PPP money for their 30 LLCs all operated out of their house.

Saw an FB post where he donated all his salary to charity. Seems like a good dude.

I'd totally buy this Paki scumbag's master class in narcissism and money laundering.

The are some interesting Reddit threads about Ali if anyone cares about the growing "South Asian" corruption killing Fort Bend County.

We haven't seen anything yet.

Wait until the May election is over.

So does he OWN Exxon, Chevron, and Shell, or did he just found them?

Kratom...nasty stuff. My son got addicted to that.

Would be a pretty big market for a staffing agency for money laundering. You basically tell them how much you need to clean, and they find the franchise, staff it, and operate it for you. They get to put a franchise logo on their business portfolio, and you get hands-off money laundering.

Just read a few of those. Interesting reading, especially the one from karachi. "He makes all his money from haram."

One of them also linked me to his bio from the Hitchcock Police Department (and why on earth they ever had a bio page for a reserve deputy, I don't know): https://www.cityofhitchcock.org/departments_/police_department/officer.php


Quote:

In 2018, Mr. Sheikhani began to pursue a lifelong dream by enrolling in a Houston-area police academy, from which he graduated through the University of Houston police program one year later. Shortly thereafter, Officer Sheikhani was admitted as a Peace Officer for the Harris County Precinct 2 Constable Office, where he completed the FTO program
That makes a lot of sense now. Got his certificate and bought a reserve commission from good ol' Pct 2.
That Hitchcock bio is great, basically spells out his assignments and duties for the clan, but in glowing terms.

Now we know there's at least one Church's Chicken that is purely a money laundering operation. There are so many of the fast food places that HAVE to be laundering. You run the numbers on some of the brick and mortar joints, and the real estate value alone would choke a horse. No way they can pay the bills on $9 2 piece meals. Lotta fake invoices.

I'd like to see the sales for that old Eggroll Express on University Drive. Never saw a customer there once in 20 years. They probably reported 20,000 eggrolls/month for whatever gambling or drug operation they were cleaning.

Church's chicken sounds good for dinner.

But also,

that hookah place on Washington is the place I always think of for this. Luxor or whatever

Yeah, the 9 piece thigh box is solid. I mean, it'll make you feel worse than a shingles vaccine served inside a stack of Arby's sandwiches, but it starts out good.

One of his businesses is Bizarre Bazaar. Isn't that the front for the gun runners in the latest season of Reacher? Really makes you think.

LOL, this guy has an address that is very similar to mine. Amazon kept sending my packages to his house. I looked him up and thought better of knocking on the door to get my packages.
