Yep. Here's an example: an elected official from Michigan, admittedly one of the dumber of the fifty United States:
Former Alcona County Treasurer Sentenced to 9-14 Years in Nigerian Scam Case
Embezzlement allegations against [Thomas A.] Katona were brought to the attention of the Attorney General's Office in mid-November 2006 while Katona was still serving as the Alcona County Treasurer. It was discovered by bank personnel that Katona had wired approximately $150,000 of Alcona County funds to banks in Taiwan and England. An audit by the Michigan Department of Treasury in December 2006 discovered a shortage of $1,236,700 in the county funds for the calendar year of 2006. This was approximately 25% of the county budget.LOL!
Maybe he can get a job in this administration?
