Former Acting Department of Homeland Security Inspector General Charles Edwards was indicted last week on 16-counts of fraud, theft of government property, identity theft and more.
"A federal grand jury in the District of Columbia returned a 16-count indictment against a former Acting Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and a former subordinate for their alleged theft of proprietary software and confidential databases from the U.S. government as part of a scheme to defraud the U.S. government," the Department of Justice released in a statement.
Edwards left the DHS Office of the Inspector General in 2013, but used his relationships at the Department for his own personal and financial gain.
"According to the allegations in the indictment, from October 2014 to April 2017, Edwards, Venkata, and others executed a scheme to defraud the U.S. government by stealing confidential and proprietary software from DHS Office of Inspector General (OIG), along with sensitive government databases containing personal identifying information (PII) of DHS and USPS employees, so that Edwards’s company, Delta Business Solutions, could later sell an enhanced version of DHS-OIG’s software to the Office of Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Agriculture at a profit," DOJ says. "Although Edwards had left DHS-OIG in December 2013, he continued to leverage his relationship with Venkata and other DHS-OIG employees to steal the software and the sensitive government databases."
Murali Yamazula Venkata, who worked for Edwards at DHS, has been charged with destroying government documents in addition to fraud.
Looks to be an Obama appointee.
Wow.
The entire Obama Administration and bureaucracy was corrupt as the day is long.
Not a smidgen of scandal. It couldn’t be. It was the mighty infallible Deer Leader 0bambi, mmm mmm mmm.
This provides another metric of how long justice can take. Crime between October 2014 and April 2017, finally indicted in 2020. This is the only reason I can remain patient with Durham, who has been at it for less than a year now.
Good point.
This news is 3 days old. But it is good to see that people here are getting it.
Not even a smidgen
Murali Yamazula Venkata, who worked for Edwards at DHS, has been charged with destroying government documents in addition to fraud.
Edwards worked for the federal government for 20 years and resigned his post at DHS in December 2013, just three days before a hearing before the Senate where he was due to answer questions,
Two words: Obama Administration.
If this had been a Trump appointee there would have been wall to wall coverage by the MSM.
Kenyanesian Usurpation.
The Kenyan from Indonesia is not a natural born citizen.
I’m sorry, but we are going to have to start hanging thieves.
There are too many of them and they aren’t afraid of having to go to prison.
The investigation into this guy goes back at least six years, and he was allowed to keep his federal job for another three years:
Not a smidgen, nope
Try a Boatload, well never know all the outright theft and other schemes that took place during the reign of the Fraud.
Durham had better wrap this up soon. All of his foreign witnesses will refuse to cooperate and blame the virus quarantines.
Obama, no scandals with his folks eh?
soetoro ran the fed gov like Kwame Kilpatrick ran Detroit.
Sure nothing important was happening in 2016 anyway right? </s>
