An IRS agent blew the whistle on him.

Why? Considering the taxes he must have been paying, you'd think they would let it go.

“Why? Considering the taxes he must have been paying, you’d think they would let it go. “

That, I can’t tell you. My boss told me all I know about it. The employee was turning in two fulltime W2’s. I remember being surprised as I thought the same, if they’re getting taxes, what do they care. Perhaps it was because he was working on DOD defense contracts and obviously, somebody was getting shortchanged. It was pure fraud. (Do agents get rewards for finding fraud?)

He did less damage by not showing up. Too bad more government workers aren’t so considerate.

Kern also said Beale was driven “to manipulate those around him through the fabrication of grandiose narratives … that are fueled by his insecurities.”

Typical of global warmers.

Look at Al Gore for example.

“The much bigger fraud is that the EPA is trying to convince us that AGW is real!”

Absolutely! In fact, this guy was relatively harmless in the big picture, actually downright helpful since he wasn’t actively involved in trying to perpetuate this multi-trillion dollar scam.

We’d be much better off if most “climatologists” were following his lead.

We have millions of people living just like this every day. SNAP, WIC, EBT, Obamaphones, public housing, Section 8, Farm subsidies, Green subsidies. Michelle Obama’s massive staff of throne sniffers. The mooch must have at least $1 million dollars in trashy boob belts purchased at tax payer expense. This guys only sin is he wasn’t an elected official.
