Another one…
A former Obama official of the Department of Defense’s Office of Inspector General on Friday was sentenced to 7.5 years in prison for accepting bribes and defrauding the US government.
According to charging documents, Matthew LumHo, 47, began soliciting and accepting bribes from co-conspirator William S. Wilson in 2012.
LumHo oversaw a federal contract designed to allow federal agencies to order telecommunications services and equipment from two approved national telecommunications companies, the DOJ said in a press release.
LumHo began funneling orders through his co-conspirator Wilson’s intermediary telecommunications company.
Wilson received all the business without any competition and disguised the bribes my making them as payroll payments to one of LumHo’s relatives – to a bank account controlled by LumHo – for a job that didn’t even exist.
