Directors Stole $1.25 Million From Their Own Welfare ProgramThree Men Charged With Embezzling $1.25M from Philly Welfare Program

Three men allegedly embezzled $1.25 million from a welfare program called National Comprehensive Center for Fathers (NCCF) in Philadelphia. The men ran the program.
The program was intended to improve the lives of fathers for their children. The program does this by helping fathers find jobs.
As reported by The Blaze:
The three men who headed the program allegedly skimmed state and federal grant money to fund their “lavish lifestyles,” authorities claim.
“Lavish trips to Africa, Las Vegas, and Atlantic City, limousine rides, jewelry, dry cleaning, flowers, political contributions, down payments on townhouses, and buying cars for yourself should never be paid for by taxpayers’ dollars,” said Pennsylvania attorney general Kathleen Kane Wednesday.
Ironically, one of the charged men was the former DIRECTOR of the city’s Department of Public Welfare: 45-year-old Bryon Noon.
Good grief.
The other two are Lawrence Yancey, 61, and Anthony McNeil, 62.
What a shame this incident is. At least they were caught, and can now be punished for their crimes.
Funny though, how the “mainstream” media barely reported on this incident today. God forbid they present welfare programs in any sort of negative light…
