Ex-Postal fraud investigator allegedly stole more than $330K from elderly scam victims he was meant to protect
AOL
A former U.S. postal investigator who oversaw the fraud department has been charged with stealing more than $330,000 from packages mailed by victims and using the money for home renovations, vacations and escorts, according to the Justice Department.
Scott Kelley, 51, of Massachusetts, was charged in a 45-count indictment returned by a grand jury in Boston Friday with wire fraud, mail fraud, mail theft by a postal officer, theft of government money, money laundering, structuring to evade reporting requirements and filing false tax returns.
After allegedly stealing cash from packages, Kelley laundered it and used $15,400 to pay for sexual services from two escorts, sometimes on workdays; $30,188 for a new swimming pool patio and lighting; a granite countertop for his outdoor bar; and $4,300 on a Caribbean cruise.
