Mississippi welfare director arrested for largest embezzlement in state history
What happened:
The former director of Mississippi's Department of Human Services, John Davis, was arrested for embezzling millions of dollars from welfare funds. Some of the funds went to a former WWE wrestler who was allegedly being paid to give classes on drug abuse. In reality, the money was paying for the wrestler’s own posh drug rehab.
He never taught a class. According to the auditor's office, Davis and another DHS employee made fake invoices to pay Brett DiBiase — a former pro wrestler who later became a DHS employee — with money intended to help poor families. DiBiase is the son of well-known former pro wrestler Ted DiBiase.
Embezzled funds were also funneled to other co-conspirators through their businesses, using fake documents and forged signatures.

Government employees who help themselves. You can’t blame them they learned from their leaders. Are these the same ones who haven’t paid their taxes?
