Retirement Benefits of Dead Mother Stolen by a Philly Man

federal salaries retirement benefitsThere have been many cases in the past few years when people have claimed to be someone they were not and ended up making a lot of money by skimming from the government. Recently a man from Philadelphia was found guilty of committing a really heinous and derogatory crime. What he was trying to do was this: Get his hands on the retirement benefits that would have been given to his mother; to add to the insult, his mother was dead. This charging was announced by Zane David, who is the US attorney.

Philly guy tries to steal retirement benefits of mother:

The person, Anthony Cooper is 67 years old and is now being charged with the “Theft of government retirement funds” for apparently skimming off around 70 thousand in retirement benefits. The startling fact about this matter is that he didn’t get the money for a month or two, he continued to skim for a long time; specifically from February 1991 and up till December 2011.

In this regard, Anthony is set to face prison time that could amount to as much as 10 years. This may include around 3 years of release under supervision, if he is actually found worthy of conviction.

The case was investigated by the Inspector general of the social security administration. The prosecutor for the case is Christopher #. Parisi who is the U.S Attorney’s special assistant as well.

Cases like these really make a person think about the state the country is currently in. The government and the investigating team should be lauded for the efforts that they had to put in order to ensure that the culprit was first found and then prosecuted in the court like he deserves. Here’s hoping that such culprits get caught a little faster in the future and not after they have enjoyed undeserved government funds.
