File under: Govt of Iran

#1 Everything I see, tends to points to Siamak Namazi working for, or with, the Iranian Government, or to help Iranian Businesses set up in the world .. right up to his arrest.

1st up.
Siamak Namazi, is an Iranian citizen who then added the U.S. citizen part in 1993.

2nd.
His father, former upper level Shah of Iran elite circle type.
Came to the US in 1983, a few years prior to Islamic Revolutionary Coup.

3rd.
AFTER getting his US Citizenship, he has even flown back to IRAN in the mid 90's to served out his Iranian compulsory military service. Note: Wasn't the US Military having Iranian issues the 1990's?

4th.
From 1994 to 1996, he worked as a duty officer with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning in Tehran.

5th.
In 1998, Namazi founded Future Alliance International, a Washington, D.C.–based consulting company focused on the risks of doing business in Iran.

6th.
Namazi later worked as managing director at his family’s consulting firm, Atieh Bahar Consulting, which sought to assist Iranian businesses with developing ties with foreign firms seeking to operate in Iran.

There was more last week but it seems the Internet search engines sure have adjusted the "finds" since.

#2 Oh my. That is exceedingly interesting, Spising Elmomoque2230. But why would he have been arrested? Left hand not knowing what the right is doing, pretend arrest to manipulate the Americans, Mullah factions fighting among themselves with him as the pawn?
