IRS Secretary Arrested for Racking Up $8,515 of Personal Items on Agency Credit Card

Posted 3 hours ago by Dave Jolly Filed under Crime, Government Spending, Morality

Once the cork popped on the sacred establishment known as the Internal Revenue Service, it seems that almost every day some new scandal or problem surfaces.

In the latest news rising out of the ashes of what once were the pristine halls of the IRS, a secretary has been arrested and charged with a felony for using an IRS issued credit card for personal items. Yetunde Oseni, 37 started working as a secretary in the Lanham, Maryland office of the IRS in 2000. In 2009, she was issued a Citibank MasterCard to be used for the purchasing of office supplies.

It appears that Oseni decided that she could use her IRS MasterCard to purchase personal items off the internet, mostly at Amazon.com. When asked for the receipts for her purchases, she tried to alter them so as to hide her personal spending. An investigation was launched and it was discovered that Oseni had purchased a minimum of $8,515 worth of items for her and her family. Among her purchases were:

Chocolate fondue fountain
Bollywood movies
Pampers
Omaha steaks
Harlequin romance novels
Apple Bottoms skinny jeans
Mango body wash
Ginsu knife set
2 plus size trench coats
Hello Kitty cosmetic set and Dream Diary Kit
MAC Haughty & Naughty lash mascara
Nostalgia Electrics RSM-702 Retro Series snow cone maker
3 lbs party candy
Toy piñata
Lansinoh lanolin nursing cream
4 prs Leveret children pajamas

Is this ne’er-do-well still employed by Uncle Sam? I know I’d have been fired if I ever tried some monkeyshines like this.
