VA Places Credit Card Felon In Charge of Major VA Purchasing Program


“Felons apply here”, should read the home page of the Department of Veteran Affairs.  For inmate  #11109-017, Braxton Linton, the VA has become a remarkable fit for a man charged with stealing $70,000 from his former employer.

Linton’s story began in 1998 when he was working as a night clerk in a dorm at the University of Florida and stole mail from freshman students, using their private information to apply for credit cards and racking up $70,000 in purchases.

After serving a 14-month sentence, Linton was released and is now a top level official with the VA.  He is responsible for “procuring (sic) all assistive devices and use government credit cards so often that they are called “prosthetics purchase cards.”

Linton is at least the second convicted felon working in management at the federal hospital in San Juan. The civil service employees union local there recently got an employee reinstated despite her involvement in an armed robbery by arguing that she can’t be discriminated against since the hospital’s human resources manager remains on the job despite being a convicted sex offender.

Corruption begets corruption and this administration has led the way in unethical behavior.
