Something about this still smells rotten to me. This VA analyst just happens to "accidentally" bring home a CD with all this personal data the same day a burglar breaks into his house and somehow finds this same CD? My bet is that he sold the CD and used the burglary as cover up.

BINGO!! Just HAPPENED to be burgled...yeak, right!! Arrest the person that ILLEGALLY brought home a FEDERAL GOVT. COMPUTER!!

I agree with you. One would have to be a moron not to see the 'coincidence'. A few coins are stolen to make it look like a random robbery but all they were after was the electronics (again to look random) and the discs. I am sure this was pre-arranged.

I especially like the way the supposed victum is being sold as a 'career employee' -- make that idiot (therefore unaccountable) gov't worker.

Where else could one obtain millions of SSN/BD, a percentage of which will be dead numbers (no pun intended) ready and waiting for the influx of illegals just waiting to use them.

A rotten set up for which no one will pay.

The only problem with that theory is, if the employee wanted to do something illegal like selling the disk to someone else, then why report it at all? All he had to do was put it on a disk, sell it to his source, and keep quiet.

I think this could have been a "legitimate" burglary, being as he reported it to the police to alert officials of what was at stake.
