[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was the guy who didn’t have to show up for his job at EPA for years because he convinced them that he was working for the CIA. He even got $500,000 in retention bonuses. They paid for his parking space because he claimed he contracted malaria while in Viet Nam (he did not and was not). He also billed hundreds of thousands for travel. He only got caught because he threw a lavish retirement party and someone noticed that he was still on the payroll afterward.

Wow I hope someone has an update on this guy. He's probably out of prison, on to some other scam, and still collecting his EPA retirement! [/quote]

This story is unbelievable. I do not understand how no one questioned his lack of work, travel, expenses etc for so long.  I do not understand. [/quote]

There was a guy running a wine farm while clocked in at the FBI…so no not that unbelievable. Men get away with everything.

Agree. Had a fed employee who was supposedly teleworking but could never be reached. He was part of the org's "good ole boy" club. Left the DC area to buy a farm but was supposedly still teleworking every day.  He did absolutely nothing; had no projects assigned. Finally he even stopped calling in for meetings. When we finally reached him one day he was actually angry and defiant because we interrupted him taking care of his farm animals. Next thing we knew, good ole boys system kicked in and we were getting reprimanded for bothering him![/quote]
