<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nWe wrote<\/a> about Senior Chief Clayton Pressley when he was imprisoned for stealing the identities of his subordinates to commit bank fraud last year. Mick sends us a link from Virginian-Pilot<\/a> which reports that he’s in hot water again;<\/p>\n The charges stem from alleged contract steering and product substitution from May 2014 to November 2014, according to court documents. Investigators said Pressley, then a senior chief petty officer, and his co-conspirators were selling Navy \u201cinert training aids\u201d that were never shipped but marked as delivered.<\/p>\n The fraud involved two Defense Logistics Agency prime vendors, identified in court documents as Firm D and Firm V, and a Tucson, Ariz.,-based business, identified as Firm G, that provided \u201clogistical support\u201d to the government.<\/p>\n The documents reference four members of the conspiracy, including Pressley. The others were not named, but the first was the CEO of Firm G, the second a sales representative at Firm D and the third a Navy officer who had authority to make purchases for his unit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The latest charges are that he steered $1.6 million in government contracts into his own firm’s accounts.<\/p>\n Pressley and his friends found a way to corrupt the system for personal gain, the documents said. The Navy officer would order inert training aids that were routinely damaged or destroyed from the two prime vendors. They, in turn, would contract with Firm G, thanks to three friendly sales representatives \u2013 one of whom was getting kickbacks.<\/p>\n The documents don\u2019t describe the training aids, but the term usually refers to replica weapons, bombs and explosives.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Pressley was the chief operating officer of “Firm G”. Well, at least they know where to find him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
