2 men posing as DHS employees never paid for apartments they used to entice SS agents

New reporting from TPM and a recently concluded lawsuit in D.C. reveal that the men’s company allegedly never paid rent on the apartments the feds raided last week. Ever. That resulted in a lawsuit by the landlord against the men, which itself offers new details about what the men were up to.

TPM has learned that a company associated with the men wrangled over payment for the units with the landlord almost immediately after the apartments were leased, with no rent allegedly being paid on any of the five apartments after their leases were signed.
...
Their alleged scheme — the goal of which is still unclear — involved gifting free rentals of the apartments to Secret Service agents, according to prosecutors.
...
According to a lawsuit filed against United States Special Police by the landlord in July 2021, the pair had failed to pay $92,697.80 in accumulated rent across the five units.

While this means the operation didn't need as much money as it first seemed (which could mean you don't need a country or rich fuck behind it), it also means they were taking a huge risk they'd be found out, if a court got round to checking if they company was legit. Bizarre.

1. Sounds like a honey trap for Secret Service Agents.

I wonder if there was a plan to kidnap Harris and hold her hostage? This looks incredibly dangerous for the POTUS and VP.
