The former executive director of a former Head Start program in Jersey City Tuesday admitted that he diverted more than $250,000 from programs for underprivileged children and used the money for personal expenses, including a Maserati and a mink coat, prosecutors said.

Robert E. Mays, 38, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Susan D. Wigenton in federal court to one count of wire fraud.

According to court papers charging him, Mays in 2013 forged records and duped employees at the Jersey City Child Development Centers into believing that its board of directors had raised his salary 61 percent to $155,000 after acting as executive director for only two months.

61% salary increase is normal.

They were doing their job , he was caught wasn't he?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Didn’t even have to look.

That Maserati was for the children. For The Children!

The hat, however, was a form of rat.

Couldn’t he just fire the auditor?

[rockrr]

Was his name “Upgrayedd” (”for a double dose of this pimping”)?!

[Noumenon]

Didn’t even have to guess, did I?

Doctor: Don't worry, scrote. There are plenty of 'tards out there living really kick-ass lives. My first wife was 'tarded. She's a pilot now.

I couldn't find a picture of the mink coat. But here's the perp:

Gave a home to an orphaned Maserati. We should be ashamed for attacking this saint.

I’m still butthurt that Mike Judge could be referring to us when he wrote Idiocracy instead of the left...

[WKUHilltopper]

Well...he got a head start.

Just reparations, nothing to see here....

Your comment is completely and utterly irrelevant and belies your username. A thief is a thief, a liar is a liar and a bigot is a bigot regardless of gender, race or creed. I am tired of identity politics and identity ethics.

He’ll be happy to sign the expense report.

He will just need to see the hat.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Yawn.

[ConservativeWarrior]

It takes a special kind of person to steal from poor children.

[Delta 21]

I wonder if the Maserati had leopard skin seats?

...or a chandelier?

[SaveFerris]

;)

Why be executive director of a socialist program if you can’t get a Maserati and mink coat out of it? Really. Small minded conservatives are just so cruel. /s
