What Happens In Vegas… Gets Federal Official Indicted

A federal grand jury has indicted a former official who headed the federal General Services Administration unit that came under fire for holding a lavish Las Vegas conference in 2010.

The San Francisco grand jury charged Jeffrey Neely, 59, on Thursday with filing false expense reports claiming he was traveling on official business, using a false document and lying to the GSA's inspector general.

The red flag here was the. Fact that the conference was in Vegas. I live there. There is no such thing as a non-lavish event in Vegas. The place is specifically engineered to be as lavish as possible. Maybe the GSA could just ban events and replace them with a fucking conference call. If I'm paying taxes for lavish events in Vegas, I had better be invited.

Why else would people spend thousands on conferences discussing exciting things like finance.

Especially when it's entirely possible to discuss finance in a video conference.
