#5 Big deal. The EPA stole several billion dollars from the US economy through stupid and unneeded regulations.

#6 Could be a bit more to this than meets the eye. The article says Mr. Beale worked for the "Office of Air and Radiation". A bit of Google work indicates someone by that name worked in the 'Office of Policy and Review' (OPAR). In any event, it would appear his duties were at a level well above clerical assistant.

#7 Abit of Google work indicates someone by that name worked in the 'Office of Policy and Review' (OPAR).

Likely just another Richard Windsor .

#8 I'm surprised the Department of InJustice is prosecuting - are they jealous? Did someone higher up on the food chain get pissed that his theft leaves less for her to steal?

(Not that we're naming any names or anything....)

#9 had stolen agency funds through salary,

Sounds like a "LOOK SQUIRREL" moment.
What are they hiding?

#10 per the article, he has been stealing for 13 years

and, even more interestingly, he did it without messing with contracts and grants

frankly, I don't understand how this is possible without assistance from other employees

#11 According to the criminal filing, Beale had stolen agency funds through salary, benefits, and certain bonuses that Beale "had not earned by providing employment services to the EPA."

I agree with Redneck Jim and lord garth. This is a very queer accusation, since the man couldn't have accomplished that without the connivance of at least the two immediate managers above him plus someone in human resources.
