With a tip of the hat to D.C. Wire, here's a YouTube video featuring D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer employee Yusuf Acar, who was arrested this morning by federal agents, from a Citywide Job Fair last fall:
There's also been a second arrest reported in this case, which has been described as a federal bribery probe, though no exact charges are yet known. Also arrested this morning was Sushil Bansal, 41, of Fairfax County. Bansal is the founder of Advanced Integrated Technologies Corporation, an information technology consulting firm that has several contracts with D.C. government agencies, including the OCTO. You can check out Bansal's bio here, which identifies him as having previously been a "Project Manager in DC Government and implemented its financial system."

I think the AITC "Case Studies" page speaks for itself.
No jail can hold Doc OCTO! The power of the sun in the palm of my hand. Nothing will stand in our way! NOTHING!
Is the so-called "octo-mom" connected to OCTO?
He's referring to Doctor Octavious or Doctor Octopus of the Spiderman Universe.
If Vivid hasn't signed them both to do a porno, their publicists need to get on that one STAT. "OCTO Contractor Bribery Probe" will be the best thing to happen to adult entertainment since "Itsy Bitsy Gang Bang."
He also apparently developed the "people soft" system through which DC processes their paychecks.
..but Yes The OCTO Mom is involved. For every Government
Official removed from office, another egg is released into
her womb. Her clown car opens and Wa-La...the position is filled again.
PeopleSoft is off the shelf software so he wouldn't have developed it.
really? oh that makes me feel better. I'll admit i'm a software moron and when i was told that by a coworker i thought 'christ, now i need to go check all my paychecks'.
Actually, AITC offers "Oracle/PeopleSoft Support," configuration management, and other services. Commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) stuff is hardly "plug-and-play."
AITC was contracted to modernize DC government IT, and to design, install and test security systemwide. Press accounts so far haven't suggested that anything is wrong with the work, just with procurement, the way contracts were landed.
he's an Octo-douche.
