NYC homeless shelter director who stole $2M in city funds and splurged at Tiffany's AVOIDS jail - while number of vagrants in Big Apple hits Great Depression-era levels

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]

Ethel Denise Perry, 66, ran a 100-person homeless shelter in the Bronx and on Friday pleaded guilty to tax evasion and theft of millions of dollars

Letitia James, the New York attorney general, said Perry evaded taxes for years and stole more than $2 million to support her luxury lifestyle

Perry's company, Millennium Care, received more than $10 million in funding from the New York City Department of Homeless Services

Between 2013 and 2016, Perry 'used Millennium Care as her own personal piggy bank and illegally took more than $2 million,' James said

Perry spent the money on shopping sprees at Tiffany's, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale's, Ferragamo, Neiman Marcus and Manolo Blahnik

Cash also went on cars, gym membership and other personal expenses, and she hired her brother and nephew to work for the company

Perry's guilty plea comes amid increasing scrutiny of the companies contracted to support the city's homeless population, with nine of the 62 groups that run shelters now on an internal city 'watch list'

Homelessness in New York City has reached the highest levels since the Great Depression of the 1930s, according to the Coalition for the Homeless

#1 How did this not get jail time? We seem to be quickly sinking to third world corruption levels across a wide swath of our public institutions. The infestation of our culture by people who don’t deserve its bounty will end the basic trust that underpins everything. I see it happening all around me in what people now expect and tolerate. A sad reflection on a day devoted to thanksgiving for our exceptional national, the last,best hope of mankind!

#2 Jail is for people who give Never-Trumpers and Notional Review writers a tummy ache by taking unguided tours of the capitol.

#3 #1 How did this not get jail time?

Democrats, Corruptocrats, their paramilitary wing and assorted pet constituencies are ABOVE the law.

Deplorables, Proud Boys, 6-Janners and their ilk are BELOW the law.

Above, below.
Кто, кого.

Any questions?

#4 apparently, her lawyer made a deal where she would pay back a lot of the funds in return for no jail time

#5 As I suspected, the consequences are mitigated by the special rules the NY AG uses selectively.
Care to guess what those rules include?
