(CBS) It was the most sensational of all the suspect purchases made with government credit cards. A custom black Mustang, charged by Los Alamos National Laboratory employee Lillian Anaya. After a year-long investigation, the New Mexico lab exonerated her, and even claims she's the victim.
This whole place, the University of California included, is dirty up to it's eyeballs.
Somebody needs a good whuppin' here.

New Mexico bump
The pot calls the kettle what a joke even if it is true CBS has no room to cast doubt on anything let alone investigate
Ha ha ha ha
That's the trouble right there. This ought to be stopped.

Let's hold the indignation until the story's confirmed by a reputable news organization.
I don't suppose they've got an answer to the question "When the Mustang showed up, why didn't she say 'This isn't a transducer - where are my transducers? - send this back.'", do they?
All I need to know.
After seeing the contract beating the other whistle-blower in this Los Alamos case got, I think Mr. Doran should be under FBI protection 24/7. He is extremely brave.
Mustang Incident
Lab employee Lillian Anaya was suspected of attempting to purchase a Ford Mustang with parts, amounting to nearly $30,000.00, using a government credit card. Stanley Hettich, a Business Division administrator willfully failed to report this crime to OSI, indicating he had not reported any similar type situations to OSI in the last three years. Hettich suggested that the ESA Division had gone native, and the whole system of property purchase was out of control. Hettich blamed Mr. Richard Marquez and Mr. Joseph Salgado for this failing, because they ordered him to give Lab employees anything they wanted; customer satisfaction was the key.
Casino Credit Card Incident
Lab employee Mary Wood used a government credit card to purchase personal items, and secure cash at local casinos. Salgado directed that Wood should not be interviewed and she should just be fired. Tucker recommended that she not be interviewed because she would not confess and it would be a waste of time. Security Specialist Steven Doran, OSI, interviewed the subject at which time she confessed. Immediately after the confession Dickson ordered that all the reports be submitted to him and he would determine what would happen to the case.
Tool Incident
Lab employee Orlando Smith was suspected of improperly purchasing tools amounting to approximately $1.2 million in 12 months, from an unauthorized vendor, while misusing a government vehicle.
Forged Voucher Incident
Lab employee Clarissa Rodriguez forged a government voucher for $1,800.00.
The aforesaid investigations were initiated in accordance with professional investigatory processes, but were quickly tainted by persistent interference and obstruction by multiple Lab officials.

Sometimes these gov't credit card abuses aren't out-and-out fraud or theft, and that may be why the obvious outcomes haven't occurred.
In many of the cases, the "perps" aren't trying to actualy steal, they just use the gov't card to finance unauthorized purchases on better terms than they could get using their personal cards. In the end, the money is paid back and there is no monetary loss.
It's not right, against the rules, etc. Kind of similar to the congressional "free money" bank accounts. Abusive but not illegal.
She probably won't pull a Hubbell.
Is this one of Tony Anaya's relatives?
