Taib is FBI’s ‘landlord’ in Seattle
By Patrick Lee, Free Malaysia Today
The Seattle-based Abraham Lincoln Building, which houses the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) office, is purportedly owned by Sarawak Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud.
According to the Sarawak Report website, the building belongs to Wallysons Inc, a Washington-based corporation.
Wallysons Inc is also believed to be co-owned by Kota Samarahan MP Sulaiman Abdul Rahman Taib, the son of the Sarawak chief minister.
A search on the Washington Secretary of State Corporations Divison website revealed that Wallysons Inc’s president and chairman are Sean Murray -Taib’s son-in-law – and Sulaiman respectively.
Both of the addresses belonging to Murray and Sulaiman have pointed to a Canadian-based address in Ottawa.
According to minutes provided by the Seattle City Council, Wallysons Inc was also involved in the maintenance of a pedestrian skybridge over a 10-year term from 2002.
Other than that, little official information is available regarding the ownership of the building.
