  • He was ordered to pay nearly $16 million in restitution and a nearly $2 million fine

  • Federal prosecutors described Zuberi, who reports to prison May 25, as a 'mercenary' political donor who gave to anyone he thought could help him

"I hope prison isn't too scary,
Imaad, but that's bellum."
"Hell, someday I'll tell 'em
On tall stacks of vellum --
And way oversell 'em! --
The Not-So-Rich Years of Zuberi."

Obviously he should have been more selective and generous in his giving.

"Its Zebart OR Rust"

'Its Zuberi or Rust"

Your in for/to Rust, Mr. Zuberi.

Congratulations, You win the prize.
