Being CIA along with being a SES makes me think that there is a democrat in the woodpile. SES's are often political appointees, I would bet that there is a deep state actor in here somewhere. Someone must have been running cover for him. The guy is obviously dirty but I would be willing to overlook a lot if he could named names and deeds implicating a Biden or Obama era Director.

I had a TS or TS/SCI clearance for 35 years there is no way something like education or previous employment discrepancies of that magnitude "slipped between the cracks" With my investigations they did everything but take a stool sample, come to think of it, it was part of the initial hiring physical.

I was thinking very similarly. This guy didn't get into the position he's in, with those type of charges without assistance from above but, also colleagues within. Sitting on 303 gold bars, 35 luxury watches and $2m in cash...this sounds like what a warlord in Central Asia or a Middle Eastern shot-caller would be sitting-on.

They found my high school girlfriend. Thank God we parted ways as friends.
They found a old supervisor. The business had been bought and sold twice, the old boss had moved once and changed jobs three times, and he had a fairly common name.
They "covered" an education lead at a college I never set physical foot on. It was a single distance course subsequently accepted and transcripted by the college I graduated from. I neglected to list it as a separate institution attended; they wanted to check to see that it was on the up & up.
There was a discrepancy about the month (not the year, the month) my membership in the Boy Scouts of America ended, ten years earlier. I said June (when I graduated High School) but it was actually September. They verified it.
I have family overseas. Yeah, they dove deep to make sure none of them were Soviet assets.
That was just the INITIAL SCI. The 5-years were equally brutal, but at least more recent leads.

"I was a test pilot" and "I graduated from the NPS" slipped through the cracks?
Yeah. No.

Wouldn’t it be something if they turned the screws on this charlatan until he started singing? Surely he isn’t the only guy doing this.

This is the kind of thing that I believe is a payback for dirty deeds performed in the past. In my mind his guy surely did some hands on nefarious acts that could land anyone in jail or ruined. Seems he would be somewhere in the chain of “handlers” that provoke or groom bad actors and this is the payback. A totally fictional resume for a do nothing “job”. The way the machine works.

Good for him! Big Grin

I'm starting to change my views on things. lmao

"I HOPE someone is embezzling it, at least that's helping someone!".. I say things like that at work and get funny looks. After 35 years working for the state, seeing the amazing waste, millions pissed away, I'd feel better about someone steeling the money, rather than it being the total waste it usually is. Wink

Yeah. No.

I was thinking the same thing, when I applied for my TS/CNWDI the talked with high school friends, my high school principal (we were a small school so he knew everyone) and others I cannot recall. They contacted my high school in a town of 3500 but could not verify his college education?

Hence my point about sweeping this under the rug.

Think about how many people would have to sign off on his clearance.

I remember when Paul Powell, Illinois Secretary of State, died in 1970. They found somewhere around three quarters of a million dollars in cash, in shoe boxes on his closet shelf.
