Sure let’s give the government trillions more to spend...
They’re so good with our money!
When I was in the MDNG one time I had to run down to Richmond, they gave me a Govt. Credit card that was 1$ less than a million to use just in case I needed it.
I wasn’t tempted at all, just saying...
Well, he forgot that he can only do that is he’s bringing in a significant number of votes in key districts.
Don’t leave home without it.
10% to the big guy?
This is a classic example of the government trying (in theory) to do the right thing and getting bitten in the ass for it.
Many many years ago, procurement was so complicated and cumbersome and time consuming, the idea was just to provide credit cards for small dollar purchases to speed things up. Simple and makes sense.
Unfortunately, no one is doing audits on the back end to make sure this kind of activity isn’t taking place. Even when the government tries to do the right thing, its incapable of executing.
Eddie Ray got greedy. If he filched only 10k or so, they wouldn’t have cared.
This guy is an amateur compared to our Republican Representatives and Senators!
Had a Government CC for a short while when I was in. I was scared to use it for anything! Got rid of it as soon as I could.
Sure is hard to find a single photo of Eddie Ray Johnson Jr. Must be a protected species.
I know people who are afraid to stop for a coffee when they are driving a government car, then there’s this guy.
16 months in a federal camp in return for 1.1 million? Not a bad deal.
He shouldn’t be the only one going to jail. Multiple layers of supervision had to be asleep at the wheel for this to happen.
I’ve had a travel card for over 25 years (in and out of uniform) and a small purchase card and can’t even imagine how this happened.
He had to have cooperation from someone in leadership and the finance office.
Wonder how many people do get away with it bookie say a lot of them.
We had to cosign for Amex car for a new employee because he had a repo on his credit. He charged up a bunch of money and turned in the receipts then he turned in the bill to be paid. Double payment. His boss signed off on it. When he left the company, he ran up a huge bill that the company had to pay because they cosigned.
Yep.
Those are the two things I would buy too.
A Grand Piano and a Harley.
(I have a 93FXR and an 88Key Electric Piano, but I can make room for more.)
