He served 10 years in prison for burglary, conspiracy, extortion and other crimes related to the case. Tabish was paroled in 2010. Governor Doug Burgum announced the project, calling it the largest such data center of its type in the world. Burgum’s office says they are familiar with the criminal background of Tabish.
