Brickbat: Uncharitable Fraud

A civilian employee of the U.S. Army has been charged with stealing $100 million from the military. Prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Texas said Janet Yamanaka Mello, who worked as a civilian financial program manager at Fort Sam Houston, "regularly" submitted fraudulent paperwork for funding for Child Health and Youth Lifelong Development, an organization she controlled which she claimed "provided services to military members and their families." Prosecutors said she actually used that money to buy real estate, vehicles, and jewelry.

She could have just picked up that much lying on the ground on the way out of Afghanistan.
Which part of Ukraine was she in, and how is she related to a Biden?
She allegedly spent her ill-gotten gains on jewelry? If that turns out to be true, she sounds like she's catering to stereotypes.
A hundred million here. A hundred million there. Pretty soon, you're talking big money.

I think we can all agree that Josh Hawley telling Biden that he needs to give a nowhere smelter in MO an $8.5M loan to keep them afloat for ~5 yrs. is the real criminal here.
But isn't that the way it's supposed to work?
She neglected the 10% to the Big Guy.
Good work if you can get it.
