We all have those moments when we think we won’t be able to make it. I certainly had those. I accept those thoughts and let them consume me. And they they become the challenge to myself. You can actually do more and be more than you thought you could be.

A former programs director for the General Services Administration admitted to using his position at Fort Monmouth to award payments from the government to himself and his family. The former employee did this by awarding projects to two contractors who in turn hired the employee’s personal business enterprise and his daughter as subcontractors. Over the course of three years, they received over $800,000 in fees from the government; the only catch, neither the employee’s personal business nor his daughter actually performed any services for the government at all. Aside from the obvious fraud to which the former employee, his wife, and his daughter pled guilty, federal law also prohibits federal employees from making decisions concerning matters in which they or their family members have a personal financial interest. Even if the former GSA employee and his daughter had actually rendered the services that they billed for, the former employee would still have been in violation of federal law by awarding the projects to the contractors in the first place because his own financial interests were involved. The former GSA employee and his family were ordered to pay over $800,000 in restitution, and they each received prison sentences ranging from 12 to 46 months.
