From fake 2000 electoral rolls to fake 9/11 victims

Yesh M. Tembe


World Trade Center

Gadgets, Shrikhand, Brahms


Precision mattered to Yesh M. Tembe, an accountant working for the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, and it showed in his fondness for high- tech gadgets. On the Saturday before the terror attacks, he showed his nephew Cyrus Meherji a new, blue cellular phone -- although despite their excitement, the two could not figure out how to activate the voice mail.

Mr. Tembe, 59, a classical music aficionado, also cooked, specializing in an Indian sweet called shrikhand, made with sour cream. It was popular with Mr. Meherji's children, who often came with their parents to visit Mr. Tembe and his wife, Coomi, in Piscataway, N.J. "They'd go for that," Mr. Meherji said.

The two men used to meet every few weeks for lunch downtown near Mr. Tembe's office in the World Trade Center. They would sample the cuisine of different restaurants, sometimes Thai, Greek, Turkish or Indian. "New York was the right place for him," Mr. Meherji said. "We liked everything."

Profile published in THE NEW YORK TIMES on November 15, 2001.

Regarding this "man" some notes have to be made. I checked into his nephew Cyrus Meherji , mentioned in NYT. There exists exactly one person in the US carrying that name. I know his phone number, but I do not harass other people.

Also I have seen references to his wife Coomi.

And then, there is this strange document I found, which nearly prompted me to alert the FBI. (attached)

What is remarkable is, that this name, Tembe, appears in this document, claiming to be a reminder for people who have not cashed in their checks and that are not reachable under their known address.

I leave it to the reader to think about what is more likely, that the New York State Deferred Compensation Plan does not know that Mr Tembe died 8 years ago in the WTC, or that Mr Tembe managed to get on the Death List and still receives his pension until recently.
Or that is all Smoke and Mirrors.
