Ex-Labor Department employee admits bootleg movie operation

Yep, and 24 month's probation with no prison time. Boy, they really

stuck it to him. He made out like a bandit, but he has all that cake to eat..

Affirmative action-"we don't need no steeking qualifications". Now old hitlery is wanting in on it.

What's the normal penalty for bootlegging movies?

I am not condoning him, it sounds like he got light punishment.

It's about more than the bootlegging of dvds. It's where he did it, what he used to do it, and then the light penalty. Shows that no one is paying attention or cares and these people feel free to run their illegal activities from work using government equipment to do it. **** yes he got off too light.

Typically, they would determine the date of his first illegal act and cut off his pension as of that date.  He should be forced to give all illegal profits to the government and placed on larger black list that keeps him from being re-hired by the federal government.  if only placed on smaller list, he would be banned from Department of Labor only. If not on any list, he could apply for a position after probation.

He's black. Obama won't let anything happen to him.

Good Ole American Greed - Small Scale....

Should have read: Ricky Ricardo Taylor -- a three-decade Labor veteran who was a supervisor within the Labor Dept.....Failed to Grease some other Palms within the Dept.? Did he get turned in by his Bootlegging Dept. Customers seeking cheaper DVD movies, and/or who wanted some or more of the Bootleg Pie $$'s...

The Problem: Moonlighting via Copyright Law Infringements, using government property..Creating Extra Income & Paying NO TAXES!!....

Small Penalty to pay... Better than selling watermellons on side of the road in D.C. with-out a Business or Peddlers License..
