The Latest on Ethical Failures
Interested in reading the latest federal ethics horror stories? The Defense Department's Standards of Conduct Office has updated its "Encyclopedia of Ethical Failure." (I wrote about the encyclopedia earlier this year.)
You can download the new version (it's a Microsoft Word document) here, or just get the latest updates here.
Some of the new entries:
- Affair with Assistant Leads to Employee Removal
- One Happy Family Spends Time Together in Jail
- Stealing Isn’t the Only Way to Misuse a Government Issued Credit Card
- Federal Employee Stole Credit Card Numbers to Hire Prostitutes (more on that here)
- Boyfriends Can Be Very Expensive For Employees Who Steal Funds
- Law Enforcement Official Fired for Landing Government Helicopter at His Daughter’s School
- 29-Year Veteran of the VA Loses Job Over Dirty Emails
- Stopping at the Base Eatery Not an “Official Visit”

Government Executive Staff Correspondent Alyssa Rosenberg takes a look at news affecting the management and operations of the massive federal bureaucracy.
The sad thing about this is, it is not equal across the board. If these incidents were a SES employee they would just get a slap on the wrist.
JAJ Posted Tuesday, November 27, 2007 8:13 PMi think any officer or nco who steals funds from there subordinates should be in jail. if you dont have the morals to at least ask for finacial help how can you train or lead soldiers. and how many soldiers have you screwed over in your many years of service. and at what cost to taxpayers for recruitment training and replacement so you can continue to rip people off for chump change.
