From the Daily News:The defense for a half-dozen criminal defendants in the CityTime scandal faces an uphill climb — through a mountain of documents.
Prosecutors in the massive multimillion-dollar ripoff revealed Thursday that they turned over more than 9 million pages during pre-trial discovery.
Word of the enormous amount of evidence came one day after Science Applications International Corp. — the crooked contractors in the seven-year scam — agreed to a $500 million payout to avoid prosecution.
About 5 million pages came from the Virginia-based business, a Fortune 500 company responsible for billions of dollars in defense contracts.
The six defendants in the case include SAIC projects manager Gerard Denault and city subcontractor Mark Mazer, the scheme’s purported mastermind.
Two other suspects remain on the run: husband and wife Reddy and Padma Allen, who fled to their native India. The couple owned TechnoDyne and are charged with providing multimillion-dollar kickbacks in the scheme.
From the Daily News:
Bloomberg has not yet explained how such a massive theft - the biggest stain on his administration - could occur for so long without any of his aides noticing.
Only one city official, former Payroll Administration director Joel Bondy, has lost his job because of CityTime.
Maybe when the criminal trial of the CityTime crooks finally begins, we'll learn what our own officials knew and didn't know.

How would Bloomberg and his upper echelons not know? His fingerprints has to be all over this.

this is what the Pakistani Medicaid scammers do, go back to their country of origin w/ money they stole from the US. These are doctors and pharmacists.
They open practices in Pakistan, India and Bengla Desh, laughing at the naive Americans.
