Climate change expert sentenced to 32 months, says lying was a 'rush'

quote:
The EPA’s highest-paid employee and a leading expert on climate change was sentenced to 32 months in federal prison Wednesday for lying to his bosses and saying he was a CIA spy working in Pakistan so he could avoid doing his real job.

John C. Beale’s crimes were “inexplicable” and “unbelievably egregious," said Judge Ellen Huvelle in imposing the sentence in a Washington. D.C. federal court. Beale has also agreed to pay $1.3 million in restitution and forfeiture to the government.

Beale said he was ashamed of his lies about working for the CIA, a ruse that, according to court records, began in 2000 and continued until early this year.

“Why did I do this? Greed – simple greed – and I’m ashamed of that greed,” Beale told the court. He also said it was possible that he got a “rush” and a “sense of excitement" by telling people he was worked for the CIA. “It was something like an addiction,” he said.

Beale pled guilty in September to bilking the government out of nearly $1 million in salary and other benefits over a decade. He perpetrated his fraud largely by failing to show up at the EPA for months at a time, including one 18-month stretch starting in June 2011 when he did “absolutely no work,” as his lawyer acknowledged in a sentencing memo filed last week.

When Huvelle asked Beale what he was doing when he claimed he was working for the CIA, he said, "I spent time exercising. I spent a lot of time working on my house."

He also said he used the time "trying to find ways to fine tune the capitalist system" to discourage companies from damaging the environment. "I spent a lot of time reading on that," said Beale.

Prosecutor Jim Smith said Beale's crimes made him a "poster child for what is wrong with government."


Why not Hillary and Barry?

Hooray for Government Unions that protect the "Poor Fellow".

He is probably a investor in Goldman Sachs, how else would a government employee pay a 1+ million dollar fine.

Where is thy sting! lets see he was hired by the Obama cronies to work on climate change since its more dangerous than ISIS so he became the cia to protect the left. Then because he was not good at golf he worked on his house instead of working. Sound like some one else you know that would play golf while an American was getting his head cut off. There is your sting cheating tax payers like the man said for pure simple greed. But you liberal thinkers are ok with burning and looting while destroying a business that refuse to bake a cake for their beliefs. Maybe you should take off to Washington I sure Obama must be getting tired of patting himself on the back he might need a massage and a jar of (been gay). STING.
