Lots of “military” kids have a pretty hard row to hoe, from constantly moving to who knows where/new schools, to parents off on deployments possibly to be killed, to living near the poverty line for many, to having to deal with the whole social baggage of the other brats and the parents’ status in the hierarchy of rank.
I imagine the program this woman looted was intended to bring these kids some respite from all that, through positive opportunities to find themselves and enjoy life. But nooooo, this selfish bitch was allowed to steal that from them, to the tune of $100 million, while also grifting down another $130,000 a year salary, likely doing nothing to earn it. Meanwhile the other scumbags paid to monitor the grants utterly failed for years.
Strip them all of every asset they ever thought about having, sentence them to life at hard labor, then sell their organs for transplants when they die.

I took two or three tiny fake coins from an on-display tiny slot machine, probably no bigger than a foot, or so tall, when I was nine or ten. Apparently, it was meant for businessmen who liked a toy on their desk.
My dad later saw me with them, and asked where I got them. I told him, and he told me I had stolen them.
I’ve never forgotten that. I had no way to get them back, and the store was 45 minutes away.
Many people live as if they won’t be held accountable by God. Catches up to one sooner or later. The nerve of this thieving conniving woman ripping off the US taxpayers funds for her lavish wants.
“Now, Mello has nearly 80 vehicles and 31 properties across five states up for forfeiture...”
That’s just crazy. After around $50 million...I’d be looking for a country with non-extradition with the USA. To splurge like that and do it in the USA...she should be hung for stupidity.
She was from Guam so that might have been a better place to hide stuff.
I don’t think we can even imagine how much this goes on in the government on a smaller scale, especially with the DIE scam.
One of the most disheartening and disgusting things that Republicans in DC did in the recent past was when 10 R senators voted with the Democrats against having accountability for the money going to Ukraine. Republicans could’ve stopped that but they let it go through and of course the Dem senators + Kamala passed it.
Sheesh
Millionaire? She is a thief, not a millionaire. You don’t say we arrested the millionaires who robbed the Brinks truck.
That explains a LOT.
Being stationed there for 2 years in the 1970s, I found some of the "officials" there to be very corrupt.
A great amount of US tax dollars goes to Guam.
Only in spirit. I dare say you’re much better looking than me. ;)
“I don’t want to hear one more word about Ukrainian corruption.”
She probably has investments in the Ukraine and got part of that money too.

Get a rope!
Here is part of the missing $4T from the Pentagon.
So a little Guamanian and or Pinoy working in Family services struck it rich.
Couldn't all that money tip the island over? (Rep. Hank Johnson)
Nice internal controls they have there.
They never know when to stop do they?
Just one $4 million home and one “supercar” and maybe the GAO wouldn’t have noticed among the sea of wasteful government programs, but noooo, can’t just steal a little.
