Civilian Army official charged in bribery case

It is a wonder that people like this think that they can get away with this stuff.

It is usually the contractor approaching the Fed.

Detailed in a 34-page criminal complaint by FBI Special Agent Jeffrey Pollack, Warner’s alleged misdeeds and efforts to avoid detection range from cunning to comical. He initially communicated his demand on a note tucked inside a restaurant menu and at one point patted down one of the executives for a recording device, according to the affidavit. But he missed it and was caught on video discussing bribe money, according to the affidavit.


Warner, a retired sergeant major in the Army who works as a civilian senior program manager and contracting officer’s representative at the Pentagon, first brought up the bribes in October 2014, when he asked the two executives to go to lunch at the Pentagon City mall, according to the affidavit. He was waiting for them there at 11:30 a.m. — wearing sunglasses and drinking a margarita — and insisted that both turn off their cellphones and communicate only by typing in a notes application on his phone, according to the affidavit.

People do get caught often. It doesn't always make the news.

I could see short-term corruption going unnoticed though. But people get greedy and want more.

Some senior naval officers were arrested two years for corruption in a contracting over-billing scheme.

The U.S. Navy is being rocked by a bribery scandal that federal investigators say has reached high into the officer corps and exposed a massive overbilling scheme run by an Asian defense contractor that provided prostitutes and other kickbacks.
