This need to be done throughout the whole United States 😡😡
😂😂lf they did that then we wouldn't have police departments on all 50 states and the whole government would have to be shut down for corruption.

@@brendalynjones4576no its more those who tell police what to do.
@@freegeorgia4808 l know thats why l also said the whole government 👍💯
Right
That's a real walk of shame.
Stop expressing yourself and parents
@amigocarlos Word 😂😂😂
I was expecting fit HooWyte people. Wrong again.
Imagine the 387 supporters and you would express yourselves for life and likewise forefathers and mothers, and that's if they can. expression of a big Shame 😊

Nothing to do with that. If guilty, these people must be held accountable
@@olaolujegede6853True they should be, but it’s still everything to do with that‼️‼️‼️‼️
DA!😂😂😂😂
Giving a selection of the population benefits via public debt is unconstitutional to begin with. Every US corporation participated in fraud via receiving billions while US citizens got pennies comparatively. Meaning US citizens directly bailed out every entity that took outsized benefits.
@@olaolujegede6853 by that logic you should be holding your government accountable also
Wow everyone of them should be fired and charged. Lost of their retirement. Disgusting
Who’s shocked? Nah, me neither.
I'm not! Little billy wasn't killing his classmates today.

Only a drop in the bucket!! Billions have been unaccounted for.
That's exactly what they the feds said.
So I'm guessing that, and please correct me if I'm mistaken, we shouldn't be holding our breath waiting for full $restitution.
Hell yeah that shit went all around the country. Here in California these bums all of sudden were driving convertables.
Politicians probably stole 80% of it.
Absolutely
So many corrupt people in one department. Unbelievable 😡
This is several different departments. Homeless Services; U.S.P.S.; NYPD; MTA; NYCHA. It started with the workers from the department of homeless services and I guess the knew somebody who knew somebody from every other one of these agencies who wanted in on the grabs.
That's the norm in the shelter system.
They're just the ones who got caught...for now
Department of Homeless Services is known as one of the most corrupt agencies in all of New York City and it’s really pathetic.
They are all blacks. Probably Bragg is involved too
Using homeless people to get rich off a major disaster 😤
What an original idea, right? Not the first time, won't be the last!!! 😡
so they used the ids and made cases and probbly got debit unemployment payment cards the real people got nothing and didnt know about the id theft
That's a common practice.
Look like the same ole usual suspects, again🥴
@@flower4598wtf does that mean?
I remember ppl were complaining about not being able to file unemployment benefits because, someone had already filed a claim and drawn the checks. This was during the beginning of Covid during lockdowns. This is a disgrace. Throw the book at them!!!
The Agency only, should be held RESPONSIBLE, not the person who already got cheated !!
Good grief , 🙄🤷
you wish
they were released after an hour on $19.99 bond
with a courtdate in 2050
Make them pay those people back..GREED
Now where are the white and Hispanic people! I know they were stealing too!😊
Just goes to show you shouldn't depend on the government and "social security nets" is a large red flag!
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! TAKING ADVANTAGE OF HOMELESS PEOPLE!
Tell it to the millions of "Newcomers".
@@lilblackduc7312 tell it to the American administration. Governments fault not the ppl
They should have took advantage of it themselves they rather be homeless don’t say it like they helplesss
@@lilblackduc7312😂DAT!🎯PART!!!🤷🏾♂️
The homeless people had no idea what was going on
You better check and see how much foodstamps and other benefits they are receiving.
NJ needs to do its own investigation into Covid benefits, some of us didn’t receive all our benefits.
NO INSULT, YOUR PROBLEM? YOU ACTUALLY GO THROUGH LIFE, NOT DOIN' SHIT BUT "RECIEVING" SOMETHING
I think it's antisemitic to over-investigate frauds
@@Antonibericoyou are extremely clueless
I pray you get your benefits....❤
Who predicted this? Only most of us.
Predicted that city employees would scam the homeless?

@@buckeye-pe6dfwhat! Both your mothers were the ring leaders. And they were able to walk out the back entrance.
Blacks. Who would have thought.
And so what's the punishment. NY releases everybody to do crime again.
They haven't been convicted just an arrest. It's fraud not a violent crime.
They have to be convicted of their crimes first. Although this being NYC, if they're found guilty I doubt very much the punishment will fit the crime.
Bail for Everyone in this case 👏👏
Probation and maybe ankle monitor
@@ToxcynArcade While they continue at their jobs.
Theft is at an all time high. Very very sad! Let’s hope there is real justice.
Not likely!!! 🤔
You got the fox
guarding the
chicken coop.
Good luck with
that.
When you conspire with that many people, someone will eventually get caught by telling someone about the crime, inviting others to join, and continuing to do it, thinking it can go on forever. And the longer a crime continues, the greater the chance of being caught. And you eventually will
👌
What is the common denominator? Government employees? In my age I have to say I have lost patience with cheaters, liars and thieves.
No, they have a lot more in common than just being govt employees.
@@theotheleo6830 black
Democrat voting government workers.
@@theotheleo6830 Yeah, the color of their skin! I'll say it!
Notice, it's the same people who blame "greedy corporations " for all the problems. All the while they steal the people's money.
I’m sure this happened all across America. It is disgusting to think about how much taxpayer money is stolen or wasted.
it did. millions of dollars lost to fraud. Biden admin don't care
Facts
The government is in charge of it it’s no surprise. The government produces nothing that is productive.
Embarrassing to the culture 😮
But it wasn't just our people. They always paint us as public enemy #1
culture is threat for democracy!
🎯
What culture. What culture has been created?
@@kemiaw2709 CHILD GO AWAY YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT AND SOLD IT 27 OTHER PEOPLE YOU JUST HAD TO COME HERE AND BE NEGATIVE 🙄
Shameless.
shame is threat for democracy!
Wow they all have the same complexion, interesting. I wonder what subculture they are raised in to comment fraud as a goverment worker.
I can't believe they got Bond 🤯
This problem goes deeper than anybody could ever imagine
Of course it does but these are the faces they will present to the public. They we're shaping for pennies when you take into account what the real criminals are getting away with
They had good paying jobs to begin with. Criminals to boot!
I never understood why people with good paying jobs with benefits commit these crimes. I mean.... why do they want more? There are people thay would kill to have their positions and be happy with just that. Some people are so greedy.
Exactly
Mmm nahh ain’t like they was making 6 figures a year. They probably made about $10,000 more per year than a teacher or warehouse worker. Y’all just think they get paid good money.
They probably think it’s reparations payments due to them .
they probably had temporary jobs. They probably were not permanent jobs. This happens a lot. insurance companies too. When you need help right away you go to the temp agencies and hire people. At my job they were stealing checks left and right, then they left when the contract ended..they had to backtrack to find their behinds.
No White, Asian or Latina???
No Sir.they r all the same people same culture
This is so sickening, can't trust nobody 😢, embarrassing
Once the government is corrupt as hell, who's watching the watchers?
Other corrupted people that haven’t gotten caught
I noticed that, I thought my TV was broken 😂 it's that same old criminal culture
We are watching! TRump is going to prison, how bout that!
Nobody call out the obvious? 🦍
Really but this is the norm!
There's an old saying. "The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree." I presume more government employees have done wrong along with the government politicians.
It's Apple.
Oh like hanging fruit
Of course, my friend!
I don't understand why if you have a good job. The person wants to ruine their lives.
they must verify where the ppp funds were used as a case recently millions stolen so they will be caught this was different stealing just caught a lady who faked papers and ids to steal covid funds and many others like the building bribes case
The system is falling apart. Employees entrusted with peoples information are cashing others checks. Sad.
My identity was stolen during the pandemic! Someone file unemployment under my name collecting over $5000 in unemployment funds 😡 Still working on it! Very frustrating and pissed!!!
OMG! SAME HERE, MY JOB EMAILED ME, LIKE, YOU ARE EMPLOYED WITH US FOR 5 YRS......SOMEONE USED MY SOCIAL FOR FREAKING UNEMPLOYMENT AND HERE I AM SLAVING, COULDNT GET IT MYSELF BUT THEY ALLOWED SOMEONE ELSE TO USE MY SHIT! STILL TRYING TO GET MY NAME BACK!!!
Going to get worse because if illegals work at SS administration or legal immigrants, they can sell or give out information.
Damn! There really isn’t no honor among thieves, the government and it’s employees That’s crazy
How low of the lowest to steal from people who has nothing? They’re all
Give them 20 years in prison
you steal a shoe you might facing a year jail
they might get a month suspended
A 20 year vacation? Free room and board. Three meals a day. That's real punishment.
I love seeing them try to hide their faces, as if we couldn't find out their names from PUBLIC RECORDS!
They weren't hired because they are smart , they have something else in common that got them " hiring privileges".
@@user-hw5td5xm9b Most politicians arent hiredcause theyre smart, who could you be referrong to
It is prison time, maximum sentence please!
These DEI hirings are absolutely not holding up the basic professional ethics.
Is there anything not crooked about NYC?
When are you arresting the mayor?
AND THE GOVERNOR. AND 💤😴 SLEEPY JOE. SEND THEM TO RIKERS ISLAND IN THE VENEZUELAN CARTELS CELL BLOCKS. BIDEN WILL BE WEARING A WIG AND MR. ADAMS LIPSTICK 💄. NOT AS BAD IDEA FIGURING ALL THE MONEY 💰 THEY HAVE STOLEN 👹👎💯 TREASONOUS MOTHER FUC..

And that communist Govenor.
man i HATE comminust !!!@@nunya2954
For what? Y’all still mad your rapist is gonna go to jail
Absolutely shameful
Create an outside audit agency to start auditing city, county state and federal employees and agencies. This is just the tip of the iceberg of the rampant fraud regarding employees.
Frightening. I work in healthcare and a coworker's i.d. was stolen and the crook was filing for unemployment.
This happen when companies are forced to hire based on skin color.

Honesty isn't high on the priority list for government jobs... minority races and sexualities preferences are.

Hard to believe, another catch and release program by the Amazing D.A. of New York City
*Manhattan. There’s 5 DAs in NYC. Unfortunately, Bragg controls Manhattan, where this arrest happened.
This needs to be done throughout the whole usa
Lost their pension and freedom smh.
There are so many scammers today. Everyone is scamming vs working!
This is why companies don't want to hire certain people.
Indeed. It's bad that it's come to this, but the proof is in the pudding.😞
If you wanna make it about certain people, certain people steal in billions and you know who they are
Not to mention that fifty one percent population who like to do dirty deeds in schools
U mean black people? Lol
Explain
is it me or they always look for shady ways to get money?
Accurate
Wait til you see how much the white/Asian/Hispanic’s took. You have NO IDEA!
1:00 “Total of 18 government workers.”
Bragg will reduce the charges to a misdemeanor and time served. Bragg is worthless!
DA do most to de-crimilzing and release, but also making the money off on the criminals too by get their $$ from the State money. Mayor and N.Y governor give the $$ to DAs. Full in circle.
That's America as it's always been, my friend.

Please arrest the people who also didn’t pay rent but were working the whole time and could afford to pay rent.
Absolutly!!!!!!!
Exactly. They are partly the reason why rents are through the roof now.
The foreclosures and student loans too, that led to the increase currently
Absolutely!!!!
Betrayal of public trust and shame!
There's a saying in spanish: "A thief that steals from a thief, deserves a hundred years of pardon". 😂
Great!!USCIS employees need to be investigate too.these employees charges $3500 per person (under the table) in NY,Nj and $3000 in FL for the parole progams.
Great job detectives. Corruption seems to be popular with NY employees. These same detectives should come to Oakland Ca. and do the same thing.
Corruption in Government runs rapid in NYC including the elections.
NYPD were also arrested during this. They were also in on it.
Sickening. Just sickens and angers me that local government employees would do a cruel, inhumane thing like stealing money from all those people affected by the pandemic, and for what? For what? 🤬
Why not. Our politicians cash in big time feeding at the government ninny. Their mission critical is enriching themselves, family, friends, donors on the tax payer dime. Government workers know the drill. Just don’t get caught. SMH
Amen brother !
When they hire anyone this is what you get. They will be out in a couple weeks
All of them had cakes lmfaooo
They did say once Covid settled down they will be going after people more aggressively.
I wonder how and if they are going to get the one who did the loan for small business's. People were lying saying they had small business's at home and getting all that money.
Don't count on it.
Black history month on parade .
Funny when the corruption with this entire thing was at th upper levels of our society regulatory agencies, media, medical establishment and government.
They trot out a few people to deflect you simpletons and it always works.
Regular folk stay confused. You been hoodwinked for 100+ yrs, ever since you fought a rich man's war you had no interest in.

All from the same community ! Shocker
👏
%13 is 40 million+ of the population. Two million v. crimes are committed yearly in a population total of 336 million. One million of those v. crimes are done by the %13 and equals to a total of 800,000. You want to show your racist perspective again by blaming 40 million people for the actions of 800k, which is two percent? Instead figure out how poverty functions for the elite and realize those 800k are the poorest by income in the nation.
the jogging community 😂
Who do you blame for pentagon audits being off by billons or billionaire tax fraud ? Sport ball owners getting subsidies for their stadiums ? I’m white just in case you want to go there
It is a shocker. Most of the time the people arrested for crimes committed by government officials, corporate and business fraud etc don't usually look like these people.
Why why you cannot get away with it you guys should know that already unbelievable
Send them to PRISON!!!
Working the system is the American dream for many.
Integrity is none existent in these people. As a lead server tech for a branch of the SSA, I had access to tons of PHI and PII. I even had access after hours installing virtual servers and software updates in one local and 3 large remote regions of the state. Before a lot of the information went digital, it existed on paper files and folders. Not once did I have an urge to take advantage of the situation, I felt honored that I was trusted to be around so much personal information, without surveillance. No amount of potential money was worth losing that...I guess you have to have integrity to feel that way.
We are living in the end times, up is down and vice-versa, evil is rampant and the heart of most will grow cold , Jesus Christ is our only hope.
Did you notice their skin color😂
They better do prison time this is disgusting make them pay back every dime work in prison till paid off 🤮
Betrayal by public workers? Well shit thats everyday with our government.
Thank you Judge for not allowing bail!!!
The judge set bail, it is allowed
@@Resilientlyblessed Sadly, how many will actually stay around to be prosecuted? Not many I'm thinking.
how did they cash the checks or get direct deposits not in their names someone on the inside helped them maybe or they got debit cards probably and pins

stole 1.2 million but none of them bought anything that brings value
I volunteered at a homeless shelter, and this happens almost at most of the shelter in New York. They still social, so they can take advantage of the elderly and the homeless especially veterans 😢😢😢 It was to depressing
