And he was a Global Warming Expert also. I really doubt my boss would accept "I was recruited by the CIA" as an excuse for running off on trips. I saw on one article that his wife is politically conneted to some extent and works for the Govt. How much did she know about this stuff?
On Wednesday the Environmental Protection Agency's highest-paid employee and a leading expert on climate change will be sentenced after pleading guilty in September to pretending to be a CIA spy working in Pakistan, Michael Isikoff of NBC New reports.
Prosecutors argue that John C. Beale, who defrauded the U.S. government out of nearly $900,000 since 2000, committed a "crime of massive proportion" and deserves to go to prison for at least 30 months.
From NBC:
Beale took 33 airplane trips between 2003 and 2011, costing the government $266,190. On 70 percent of those, he traveled first class and stayed at high end hotels, charging more than twice the government’s allowed per diem limit.
I am really thinking the bosses need to be fired also for lack of proper oversight.

My only thought is this guy must have had some political connections. Otherwise, I don't see how this got past the first year, must less 12.
Either way, it is still not as big a fraud as Globular Warming itself.

I must use this plan. I've felt overworked the last 11 months, and need to take a good 12yr vacation. I'll just say the NSA needed me.
