A US Air Force pharmacist and his husband are accused of stealing over $3 million from the Department of War to fund their lavish lifestyle that included purchasing a BMW, a Porsche and a mansion in Arizona.

Staff Sgt. Richard Stefon Ramroop, 35, and Manuel George Madrid, 32, were hit with a 12-count indictment for their alleged scheme to steal from the government between January 2022 and December 2025, the Department of Justice announced Thursday.

Ramroop is suspected of using taxpayer funds to purchase thousands of medical devices through his position in the pharmacy at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona.

After securing the equipment, the couple resold the devices and kept the profits for themselves, costing the Department of War over $3 million, Arizona US Attorney Timothy Courchaine.

Bank accounts connected to Ramroop and Madrid received over $11 million in wire transfers, Automated Clearing House (ACH) deposits and other credits from companies for the devices.

The couple used the funds to purchase a million-dollar home in Tucson in February 2024, along with several luxury cars.

Ramroop and Madrid purchased their large estate in the Tucson Mountains Neighborhood in January 2024 for $1.1 million.

The 5,622 square-foot desert abode features four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms on 4.9 acres with a double stair grand entrance and five-car garage, according to an online listing.

Madrid was named the sole owner in May 2025 and sold the property for $1.1 million that same month.

The alleged fraudsters also bought a 2024 Porsche Cayenne Sport Utility Vehicle worth $141,443.34 and a new BMW i7 Sport Utility Vehicle for $195,397.59.

Other cars part of their vast collection included a 2025 Ford F-150 Raptor, 2025 Mini Cooper S Convertible, 2025 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2026 BMW X7 Alpina XB7, and a 2026 Cadillac Escalade Sport Platinum.

Sodomites used to be considered a threat to US forces because of their amorality. Today they’re celebrated and exalted

I am amazed by stories like these, both from private businesses and from government.

Don’t these people have supervisors?
Is there no oversight, or auditing done?

OK, putting aside all the moral evils these guys committed- If the numbers are accurate in this story ( and they rarely are) they took $3 million worth of equipment, marked it up to $11 million and then sold all of it.

That’s impressive. Evil, but impressive..

This sickness needs to be erased from the minds of men, forever.

It takes a huge amount of brains to be a pharmacist. Yet this guy is an idiot. Had he stolen the money, lived within what his means were supposed to be then resigned from the USAF, he could live large and anonymously with none the wiser.

Proving yet again that the reprobate mindset is basically stupid.

Selection bias, you only hear about the ones that get caught. For a lot of these people, their ego convinces them they are too smart to get caught, that it could never happen to them. Case in the DFW area of a physician who ran a home health care company, that just billed Medicare without providing services. $325 million before he was investigated.

They are not pharmacists. From the article the one guy is a Staff Sgt (E-5). AF pharmacists are commissioned officers. They are probably pharmacists technicians.

Staff Sgt is not a Pharmacist. Pharmacist tech probably.

Someone else had to sign off on the requisitions. The entire chain of comman, up to GO level, needs to be investigated and charged/dismissed.

Hegseth should not tolerate this.
