Former Bush Aide Embezzled $579K
A former aide to then-President George W. Bush used money he stole from a government-funded nonprofit to pay student loans and credit card debt and to purchase a car, a truck, a piano and artwork, according to documents filed this month at the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
Felipe E. Sixto, 29, who was an associate director at the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, also spent $50,000 on groceries and restaurants, paid $142,000 to family members, and used $82,000 for a mortgage payment and another $19,000 for medical bills, the documents show. The detailed spending was listed in a 26-page memorandum seeking leniency filed by Kathleen E. Voelker, a Washington lawyer representing Sixto. She said that Sixto had made restitution to the Center for a Free Cuba, or CFC, a nonprofit that promotes democracy in Cuba.
In December, Sixto pleaded guilty to stealing $579,247 in U.S. Agency for International Development funds from the CFC. He is scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday. Prosecutors, in a court filing, said that Sixto engaged in the theft while serving as CFC's chief of staff and continued carrying out his scheme after he joined the White House in July 2007. As part of his scheme, the government said, Sixto set up a bank account, incorporated a company in Maryland, and used the alias, "Walter Lee.''
Sixto, the government said, used the stolen funds "to live a lifestyle that was beyond his means.'' His conduct, prosecutors said, "had a tremendous and lasting impact on CFC.'' Shortly after CFC reported the loss of money to AID, the nonprofit's government funding was suspended. Some CFC employees were forced to work without pay while others were terminated, the government said. AID reinstated the nonprofit, which has filed a new application for funding.

I recently got my healthcare administration degree.I continued my studies with a masters health administration like most of my colleagues did and my graduating projecy will focus on George W Bush and his actions to distroy his country.He can;t even be compared with Hitler or Stallin because they did their best to take their nation forward whereas Bush has done nothing than create a regres for his people.And his actions still have a tremendous effect nowadays.

That's so sad that they caught only this one and not the even bigger ones...
And probably he'll end up just spending 6 months in jail and after that he will spend all the money he embezzled...

I love to watch free movies online and I love surfing some of the webs largest video sites like Hulu and Youtube but there has to be one website I hate and that's Myspace Movies, why? You might ask, well you only need to head over there and take a look to see why. It's no wonder Myspace has lost over 30 million users in the last year alone when you look at the content they publish.
The movies are mostly fake, made by fake people and published by fake ass publishing companies. Take for example the Carman Elecktra video that has been floating around on Myspace Movies for the last few weeks, how fake is this? Just some crappy marketing ploy and Myspace are dumb enough to pick it up and show this stuff to their users.
Just what type of people are using Myspace Movies anyway? By the looks of their content it must be around 25 million teenage boys jacking off to fake videos of superficial people, it's so sad.

It's obvious that the corruption in the Bush government was not limited to the small fishes... but the big fishes will never be caught...

Why wasn't this found out before? I mean, half million missing is rather conspicuous, but shouldn't say the first 100 thousand not accounted for have raised a red flag?
