Background check fails as ex-convict lands HUD job, embezzles $800,000

Brian Thompson had a criminal record spanning more than two decades, but that didn’t stop him from getting an office job at the Department of Housing and Urban Development earning nearly $90,000 per year.

His extensive criminal history only came to light in recent days after federal prosecutors outlined convictions and charges of armed robbery, theft and larceny against Thompson, who now faces federal prison time for embezzling more than $800,000 from HUD during his short stint as a federal worker.

HUD has programs that are so poorly audited and open to corruption that the whole system needs to have a wide audit.

And it's a gov't organization that is filled with thieves, mostly minority ones.

These things happen when the Government hire people for reasons of race and gender instead of qualifications.

1:46 has it right, when you go hiring because of race instead of qualifications or intelligence, then this is what you get. Go ahead HUD keep on hiring them.

Why do we look to BIG BROTHER to protect us??? You would be the first to complain if something was done to invade your privacy but you expect it to spin on a dime for something you want???? You cannot have it both ways people!!! Someone knew who he was...but no one stood up. We are ALL accountable and should begin to ACT like it. Life is a choice.
