The only part about this story that is surprising, is that they actually arrested these people.

Is there anything going on in New York that is NOT corrupt?!?!

[alpinestar]

This is how our entire country and government work

[tayzonday]

I dream that one day I, too, will call “under $10, 000” a “micro-purchase” 💪🤪

What's the difference with what they did as to what the congressmen are doing. Lobbyist. Bribery is kickbacks. Arrest all the congressmen.

[SpringRubber]

City pensions for those convicted must be revoked!

[Citizen-Kane_.]

70 is the largest by DOJ DC would multiply that by orders of magnitudes

[donKenner-ee]

They learned this from elected officials in Washington.

[Badjak]

Stealing everyone's tax money. Make an example of them.

It's disheartening to see such corruption within our government. We need strong leaders who prioritize the well-being of the people over personal gain.

[ee.es]

Wow. You dont say. End the whole public housing program. Its a disaster. Get people off the democrat plantation.

[The_Lord_has_it]

That's what happens when the big guy doesn't get his 10%.

[latebarz]

OF COURSE THIS GOES ON!!! Corruption is RAMPANT in NY

[vickycameron-xl]

DOJ should review all relationships with NYCHA. Right from the top who is complacent with delayed decisions and right down to every employee who does not perform their jobs in a timely manner!!! Ask the reputable contractors architects and engineers who have to work with these idiots that we hire on behalf of tax payers. Everyone up there knows they just shut they eyes to it.

[simduk]

Free lunch is so good … where was DOI ? DA? Latisha?

[evrBlst]

Thank the Lord, the corruption is being exposed and punished

[texastornado]

😂 imagine city and state officials playing the same game as our elected DC officials. Criminals prosecuting Criminals, thats what happens when you get greedy and don't pay the mob bosses

[MichaelJirochVisualArtist]

Pay to Play in NYC? Unheard of! Seriously DoJ, you’re just now doing something about it? Let me guess, the contractors forgot to pay off the DoJ.
