A former purchasing specialist for the U.S. Postal Service pleaded guilty yesterday to accepting nearly $800,000 in bribes from businesses that received preferential treatment on printing contracts.

Exactly why the USPS should be privatized. No government entity should interfere with the private sector. It breeds corruption.
You "Don't Think" at any given Time that the Private Sector Don't do this, YOUR TRULY MISTAKED! They are the one's whom are the inventors of the process!
Look @ the lobbist in the Congress & Senate-What would you call that????
Chicken Feed !!!! They take it from the Yea's & Nay's each and every day! Politicians Don't CARE whom or Company lines their pockets, as Long as it keeps coming.
BFTS is actually kind of entertaining- he's like a modern day version of the Serdar Argic (correct me if I misplet the name) bot. Way back in the olden time (the 80's and 90's that is), any time anyone mentioned the word "Armenia", or any derivative thereof, in a USENET forum, there would be an immediate response from "Serdar", explaining at great length how the Armenian genocide was a fraud. It didn't matter if your post was about Armenian food, or music, or anything else Armenian.
The sad thing is that Serdar Argic really was a "bot". BFTS on the other hand, appears to be a very lonely retired UPS employee, who apparently gets some kind of odd satisfaction from posting his little tirades here.
What the hell- you might be a lonely old coot some day, too.
So they caught a big one. The postal inspectors actually caught a big one. Not some 32 year window/dist clerk for a few thousand but a actual "L'Enfant terrible" with a big diamond ring finger in a huge house pie. Now all you can hope is that the inspectors do not mess up the case so the whole thing winds up as "fruit of the poisoned tree" and be tossed out of court. Even if the house and ring and watch go the way of the fed auction block and the guy gets convicted, who knows how much loot there really was and how much is in the Bank of the Grand Cayman. The only thing this guy regrets is that he did not quit, liquify assets,and clear american airspace before he got busted. Greed always make it easy for the inspectors because a thief never really knows when to quit. Now maybe the Inspectors can review Lance and do the Tour de France and a few hotel and meal bills. Seems that while there was no money for supplies or carriers hours, there was a lot of money for airfare and watching Lance bike around France while doing a bit of shopping here and there. Enough for this chant and rant. Now I hear DSL is dumping their German profit money here. It justs gets wierder every day. They are undercutting big brown and fed ex...using foreign capital. Does this count as insourcing?
I notice that there are few specifics as to what really occurred here. Is the article talking about printing contracts for a billion parcel notices or STAMP SHENANIGANS. It might be important to me, the scam artists, and my UPS fellow traveler buddy to know this detail. Can anyone legally disclose this?

Thank God there was only one crook in management.If they were all crooks we might get stuck with some lousy flat sorters.

Lock this clown up for a long time. Instead of going after a window clerk for a few cents over or short as the Postal Service usually does.
Who are the printers that pleaded guilty?
