"the only crime is getting caught"

[DrLeftover]

In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity.

- Dr. Hunter S. Thompson.

A Staten Island couple stole at least $2.5 million in federal funds meant for nutritious meals for preschoolers, prosecutors asserted in a criminal complaint unsealed on Friday.

Audits by the New York State Health Department and the federal Agriculture Department since 2005 revealed a pattern of false submissions to the Agriculture Department, including lying about how many children were getting the meals, the complaint charges.

Seems to me that New York State Health Department and the federal Agriculture Department are just a guilty and should also be brought up on criminal charges for aiding and abetting.
