Court documents from the 2022 indictment of Arian Taherzadeh and Haider Ali.
  • In 2022, two DC men were arrested in an elaborate plot to impersonate federal officers.
  • The imposters bamboozled, and lavished gifts on, four Secret Services agents.
  • Here is an update on those four agents, two of whom are still in the Secret Service.

It was a crazy story: a pair of imposters spent two years convincingly cos-playing as federal cops, posing for pictures in tactical gear, stockpiling weapons and ammo, and tooling around Washington, DC in matching black SUVs with flashing emergency lights.
