Big outfit, lots of 'graduates' floating around Big Biz halls. Prestige, all the best country- and city-clubs, exceptionally high fees for service........just what you'd expect when spending Government money!
Too bad they don't know how to vet their contract employees, right?
The Internal Revenue Service recently awarded a lucrative contract to help modernize its computer databases to the same Washington firm, Booz Allen Hamilton, that employed the man who pleaded guilty last week to stealing and leaking thousands of private tax returns of wealthy Americans, including former President Trump, according to records reviewed by RealClearInvestigations.Cool!! If at first you can't vet your people, not to worry!! The IRS will take care of you.
The massive IRS theft is the third major breach of confidential and classified government information by Booz Allen contractors over the last decade -- including Edward Snowden's 2013 leak exposing the National Security Agency's worldwide anti-terror surveillance program.
Cyber-thief Charles "Chaz" Littlejohn was working on an IRS contract for Booz Allen in 2018 when he stole more than two decades of Trump's personal tax records from IRS computers. He later leaked them to the New York Times, which published negative stories on Trump's long-sought returns several weeks before the 2020 election, which Trump narrowly lost in a handful of battleground states.
After the election, Littlejohn leaked a trove of sensitive IRS data on Elon Musk, Michael Bloomberg and other billionaires -- including major conservative donors -- to ProPublica. The left-leaning news site used them to write a series, "The Secret IRS Files," about how the rich use loopholes and tricks to avoid paying taxes. Congressional Democrats cited the series in their push for higher taxes on the wealthy....
Maybe Booz, Allen should hire a competent HR executive--say, from Korn, Ferry or Russell Reynolds? For that matter I know a couple of junkyard-dog reference checkers.....
