Ryan sends us a link to the Washington Times which reports that 45-year-old Michelle Akridge, a Prairieville, Louisiana woman pleaded guilty to defrauding the Veterans Affairs Department of $77,000 over the last four years;
Green says Akridge failed to report that her mother had died and illegally withdrew the benefits for her personal use. At her re-arraignment hearing, Akridge also admitted she had collected the funds for four years.
This investigation is being conducted by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs Office of Inspector General. Assistant United States Attorney Jessica M.P. Thornhill is prosecuting the matter.
Good! But it’s only the beginning. There are thousands more out there, VAOIG. Need a list?

That’s one……
“Good! But it’s only the beginning. There are thousands more out there, VAOIG. Need a list?”
Starting with the many asswipes who claim POW status. Low-hanging fruit, that’d be a good start.
Or they could start with Joe Cryer and his 100% disability for killing 77 Libyans;

Killing 77 guys, now that’s a days work….
Great line from a great guy…keep after the turds Senior Chief…they sure seem to be popping up all over the planet, like some sick game of a whack-a-turd…
Holy Shit why does the Media not want a o cover story’s like this is beyond me,
while I was being medically retired from the army we had ass wipes claiming all kinds of crazy shit that never happened the army gave them the boot the VA gave them a gold mine
absolutely crazy !!!!!!’
They can start by only pulling OFFICIAL records as proof of service, rather than using self-uploaded documents of questionable origin.
Rat bastard robbing from veterans….geez…hardly anything I can think of worse except maybe stealing from kids or their grandmas…
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST… 😀
I’d love to be given free reign at the VAIG. The satisfaction of sending those asshats to jail would be worth the pay cut.
Dude, I’d do it for free!

Every SV bastard would get investigated… no exceptions. If they committed fraud, send their asses to a federal “pound them in the ass” prison, plus financial restitution for their crimes.
Dear government,
When you are capable of not paying benefits on behalf of a dead person for four fucking years, please take up the issue of keeping me safe from gun nuts. In the meantime, I think I’ll be just fine.
Thanks,

How about the VA employees that took over $400K for relocation expenses… Talk about low hanging fruit, I am certain that would qualify.
you do know that one of those women got transferred to Houston?
Did her girlfriend that she created a job vacancy get transferred with her?
No she went to Arizona.
please tell me it’s not Tucson
Who wants to bet the woman was also on food stamps, was living in section 8 housing, was on Medicaid, and SSI disability herself? Someone should call her on her Obama-phone and ask her.
damn should I have a Obama phone to call one ???
Well she is more than likely headed to prison and rightfully so. But what about the two big shots that ran the little relocation scam. They screwed the VA out of approximately 400,000.00 large and all they got was demoted and reassigned.
The VAOIG is turning into the ACLU.
Both used to be good organizations with a purpose of helping people, but now they are corrupt and incompetent and only take cases that are sensational in nature so that it appears they are “holding the line” on injustice.
Fucking clowns.
