I always thought Postal Investigators were sharp at what they do, how did this go on since 2010?

Our government is doing a very poor job at preventing this kind of fraud which encourages folks to take part in these activities. These workers were dumb to think that they could get away with this forever.

I believe it is the U.S. Department of Labor Office of Inspector General that should have caught it.

Everyone involved needs to be put on the spit and slowly cooked over a nice warm fire until EVERY dollar collected is paid back.........with interest.

Postal Inspectors do spot checks on those on OWCP, not usually checking on unemployment. States run the unemployment, therefore it should have been NJ doing the checking.

Lost respect for the law and they lose their self-respect also. Plus they just beat the system whenever they can. Our nation's people in Washington have no respect for the law and break it often but nothing is done. So stuff like this happens.
