An attorney with the Internal Revenue Service’s professional standards office in Washington has been charged with conspiring to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine, U.S. prosecutors said.
Jack Vitayanon, 41, an IRS attorney since 2012 allegedly participated in a meth ring with others in Arizona and on Long Island between about September 2014 and January, according to a criminal complaint unsealed in Brooklyn federal court Wednesday.
Public records show Vitayanon living in the U Street corridor. In the criminal complaint, prosecutors noted that during one alleged transaction, Vitayanon directed a buyer to make a cash deposit of $1,650 to Vitayanon’s bank account to cover the cost of one ounce of meth including shipping via FedEx and “my Ubers.”

Good detective work there.

...."smidgen" of corruption?
Debevoise was named one of best places to work for LGBT equality by Human Rights Campaign (2015).
He was just getting ready for the April rush.
Conspiracy to Distribute 500g or more of meth is carries a penalty of no less than 10 years. Have fun with that.
Would have been SOP at the DEA.
Tax season is coming. A lot of accountants will need to stay up late.
So he was probably making at least $150k a year at one job, and supplementing it with a few thousand a year from the law school, and he still was dealing dope.
You are too generous. A drug dealer looking to make some quick, easy money.
