Matthew Christ, a Foreign Service officer, was arrested Monday on charges of masterminding a plot to sell U.S. visas in Lithuania, AP reports. His alleged payoff? More than $40,000 and--go figure--a vintage BMW motorcycle. Update: The State Department says, "Employees who commit visa malfeasance are a very small percentage of our work force. The overwhelming majority of State Department employees are dedicated public servants who work tirelessly to protect the visa process and serve the U.S. public interest." Well, that's good to know!
