Oopsie - a bit of corruption at the top
From the
FBI:
Former Acting Director of Intelligence for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Pleads Guilty to Role in Fraud Scheme
James M. Woosley, 48, the former acting director of intelligence for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), pleaded guilty today to defrauding the government of more than $180,000 in a scheme involving fraudulent travel vouchers and time and attendance claims.
And it's not just the one bad apple:
Four others earlier pleaded guilty to charges related to the scheme: Ahmed Adil Abdallat, 64, a former ICE supervisory intelligence research specialist, pleaded guilty in October 2011; William J. Korn, 53, a former ICE intelligence research specialist, pleaded guilty in December 2011; Stephen E. Henderson, 61, a former contractor doing work for ICE, pleaded guilty in January 2012; and Lateisha M. Rollerson, 38, a former assistant to Woosley, pleaded guilty in March 2012. Abdallat pleaded guilty in the Western District of Texas, and the others pleaded guilty in the District of Columbia.
All told, the actions of the various defendants cost ICE more than $600,000.
More than half a million of our tax dollars squandered by these mokes. That is
our money they pissed away.

And the joke of it is that he will walk away with a slap on the wrist...
