Close associations with like-minded individuals develop a complex web of small businesses and charitable organizations. When the US government tries to infiltrate terror finances, powerful people get indicted on funneling money to Palestinian terrorist groups. The case of Allied Assets Advisors is one such case of board member Jamal Said. Sheikh [[Jamal Said]], was named in a 2007 racketeering trial of several alleged Hamas fundraisers, which ended in a mistrial. Jamal Said is a fiery cleric from south [[Chicago]] with ties to the [[Muslim Brotherhood]], Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), tied to the Muslim Student's Association (MSA), [[CAIR]] and several other Islamic networks. All are tied as unindicted co-conspirators in America's largest terror prosecution, U.S. v. Holy Land Foundation.

Another board member of Allied Assets Advisors was [[Mazen Asbahi]]. A Chicago area lawyer, former student leader within the Muslim Student's Association, with ties to all groups mentioned in the US v. Holy Land Foundation terror finance trial. In 2008, he briefly worked on [[Barack Obama]]'s campaign as 'liaison' to the Arab and Muslim community. After an article by the Wall Street Journal raised questions about his involvement with Jamal Said, he resigned claiming "I am stepping down. . . to avoid distracting from Barack Obama’s message of change.”
