A District of Columbia employee and a technology consultant have been hit with corruption charges after a raid on the former office of a city official who now works for President Barack Obama.

The charges were formalized in a federal court hearing as the FBI finished searching the city's technology office, which was led until recently by Obama's new computer chief, Vivek Kundra.

Ysuf Acar, a city technology worker, was ordered held without bond pending a hearing Tuesday. Prosecutors said $70,000 in cash was found during a search of Acar's home.

Technology consultant Sushil Bansal was released but was ordered not to engage in overseas financial transactions. Bansal is due back in court on April 21.

Acar worked under Kundra, Obama's pick to coordinate federal computer systems.

1. Dear Mr. President.

I have a background in IT. I don't have any hidden piles of cash, nor do I have a record. I need a job. Can I have his?

3. If I had any sway, you'd be hired! And isn't this

the DC mayor's office? I think that's where this guy was hired from anyway.

4. Thanks for that.

I guess I'll go see if I can make some money bowling. Every now and then I get lucky.
