Maybe this is why they dont have time to work on my claims. I bet this isnt the only one doing it.

Heres a question, surely there had to be many signatures above this rater who signed off on over 600.00 dollars of retro payment,? this makes me wonder if she was the only one involved??

There are a lot of Snakes in the system, and they will all be caught very soon. Thanks for the info bud

[63SIERRA]

I aint buying that nobody else there knew what was going on, over a half million dollars doesnt walk out of the regional offices that easy. Hopefully the investigation is ongoing.

Anyone know where we can find transcripts of the court case? I would think it is public information?

Theres veterans living under bridges, and in thier cars, while this cockroach WAS living a lavish lifestyle in a 300,000 dollar house, taking exotic vacations, going on shopping sprees, ect.. No telling how much she didnt steal in 7 years.

This is horrible and irresponsible...................

[Notorious Kelly]

I'm sure this is all just a simple misunderstanding..........

[rpowell01]

So, what is going to happen or what has happened to those veterans who received all that backpay? She lied to them and they gave her a fee amount. Do these veterans she lied to have to pay all that money back? This story is not finished IMHO.

Yep, after all she did apologize to her family for all the stress of waiting for their booty.

[broncovet]

THIS is why its so hard for legit Veterans to win their rightful benefits:

"Galloway (VA employee) also used her job to submit and backdate a forged VA application for benefits for a family member, records show. She opened a post office box as part of her scheme so she could intercept VA correspondence to the family member.

Galloway also fraudulently rated a claim for another veteran and received $154,000 from the veteran the day after the veteran received his retroactive VA payment of $386,753, according to the records."

When fraud like this happens at WACO, you can be just about certain it happens in other regional offices. Change the names, dates, and RO, and you will have scams like this repeated over and over. This is why they deny and delay real Vets benefits.

[BlastDaddy]

I call bullshit. She could not do this alone. I am sure someone had a hand in it with her. It makes me so mad to see this. She and who ever helped her has slowed down the process of other claims including my two year old appeal.

Oh so mad.

[63SIERRA]

Ive been pissed off since I read it too. just sickening. Im going to try and get a transcript and do some digging.

[63SIERRA]

Yep, after all she did apologize to her family for all the stress of waiting for their booty.

Yes im sure she will be writing apology letters to all the veterans during her stay at club fed.. maybe we should send her some stationary and a nice pen?

Many times when the GUBMINT gets DUPED,, they try real hard to sweep it under the rug, after bringing one sacrificial Lamb to the offering of attonement alter.

I would bet a crispy 100 dollar bill, that shortly after the roach is released from club fed, she will have a cush federal job somewhere.

I agree and surely it affects veterans claims because they are likely denying vets comp, so that the final yearly number of monies that gets awarded is not elevated.. Surely there is a bean count that has to jive. How many claims did this woman wrongfully deny, in order to make the 600.000 she stole fly below the radar?

[ArNG11]

Woke up to read about this. Totally disgusting. What happened to all those hang em and fry em judges. This is just making me sick. A crying shame. What's worse is that money that got swindled most likely left a Veteran broke or to loose their house and God forbid what else.

Notice this, from the article:

Galloway, the VA employee, stole

ONE for retroactive VA payment of $386,753

and

another retro of : $261,683 retroactive payment

For a total of $ 648,436 Stolen from Veterans.

How much restitution? fined $1,000 and ordered to pay $154,400 in restitution

This means Vets are still "out" almost a half million dollars, that the crook gets to keep.

Her 46 months in jail time means she gets to keep 494,036 , which means she "earns"

$10,700 per month for each month of jail time. Crime does pay at the VA.
