One of my first posts about A&O and Adley Abdulwahab (“Wahab”) attached this Illinois Notice of Hearing . Paragraph 24 states that an A&O private offering memorandum listed Wahab’s credentials as managing member of A&O as including a 1996 degree in economics from LSU. On a hunch, I investigated this claim and received the following response:

Mr. Thomas,

We have checked our files and cannot find any record for a student using the name Adley Abdulwahab or Adley Wahab. If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Robert K. Doolos

Apparently, Wahab and A&O are dishonest.

But what about the claim that Wahab worked for BHC Marketing? My sources tell me that Wahab did work for BHC, which is where he met Brent Oncale, but that BHC fired Wahab because he could not get licensed as a result of a prior forgery conviction.

Sources also tell me that before working at BHC Wahab and a partner operated a joint venture involving a gas station casino where gift cards were used instead of money. Wahab’s forgery conviction led to the end of this venture.

Before the gas station casino Wahab worked for Taco Bell. My source tell me that Wahab never attended any college.
