Huvelle said Beale\u2019s deception had \u201cmade a mockery of working for the federal government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beale, 65, admitted in September that he had skipped out on work for years by telling a series of supervisors, including top officials in EPA\u2019s Office of Air and Radiation, that he was doing top-secret work for the CIA. He was paid for a total of 2 \u00bd years of work he did not perform since early 2000 and received about $500,000 in bonuses he did not deserve, according to his plea agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Assistant U.S. Attorney James E. Smith said Beale ripped off the government in \u201cnotorious, historic fashion\u201d and had become the poster child for problems with the federal government workforce.<\/p>\n<p>He lied about contracting malaria to obtain a reserved parking space that cost the EPA $8,000 over three years. He took trips to visit his family in Los Angeles for which he charged the government more than $57,000.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>32 months? Seriously? But, he has to pay the money back, if he lives that long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yep, the EPA employee who told his employers that he was a CIA agent and got &hellip; <a title=\"John C.
