“they stole millions of dollars from teachers”
So they stole from other union members......guess there’s no honor among thieves
Channeling Jimmy Hoffa
And justice?
HA!
A year (or two) in the slams doesn't seem like much when millions were stolen.
Was the money recovered? Hell, I’ll do a year in stir if I can keep a couple million.
“””Was the money recovered? Hell, I’ll do a year in stir if I can keep a couple million.”””
It does sound tempting.
Stole ‘MILLIONS’ and receive 1 year or 27 months prison time. Anyone else thing the sentencing is a slap on the wrist?
The pair pleaded guilty to conspiracy, wire fraud, and money laundering, admitting they "sold back" over 22,000 hours of non-existent vacation time to the union, effectively stealing $1.3 million each from member dues. To evade detection between 2013 and 2022, Brady and George signed each other's checks and submitted falsified financial reports to the Florida Public Employee Relations Commission (PERC).Do NONE of these organizations have auditors? No needed checks?Chief U.S. District Judge Marcia Morales Howard ordered the defendants to pay a combined $2.6 million in restitution, though Brady has already reportedly repaid over $1.3 million following her 2025 guilty plea.
The FBI raid on DTU offices in 2023 exposed the internal corruption, sparking a national debate on the lack of oversight within public sector unions and leading to calls for stricter auditing laws.
At least the FBI did SOMETHING good during Biden.
Their jail time is WAY too light.
At least they are diverse!
They will probably serve 90 days and get released on “good behavior”
...... Hey, do it again!! ..../sarc
Will the teachers sue them to get their money back ? LOL
Grok:
Regarding recovery:
Brady had already repaid $1,328,695 (the amount she personally received) to the federal government in December 2025, prior to sentencing.
George had paid back about $160,000 toward her share.
Both are jointly responsible for the full $2.6 million in restitution to the union.
The court ordered ongoing payments after prison (e.g., Brady at $750/month, George at $150/month) to address the remaining balance.

public sector unions - worst idea ever.
You think Trump will just release a couple of probably Trump hating teachers from federal prison after 3 months?
Not going to happen!
Explains a lot...
What does?
“””The court ordered ongoing payments after prison (e.g., Brady at $750/month, George at $150/month) to address the remaining balance.”””
Why does the white chick have to pay five times as much? Sounds racist. And the black chick only has to pay 150 a month? So she will pay it back in approximately 7,000 years?
