AADAC Officer a Gambling Addict

Here's a piece of Canadian political corruption with a twist. Senior AADAC employee, Lloyd Carr got busted for thieving $634,250 from company coffers via fraudulent contracts since 2004.

The best part of the whole thing that this addictions commission employee allegedly spent at least $150,000 of his loot on his gambling problem. Not to mention $91,000 as a downpayment on a house and $60,000 for a new car. On top of the irony already at work, this wunderkind of a criminal got the job by hiding a criminal record and lying about his credentials and education background.

Criminal and civil suits are no doubt pending. I doubt too much will really happen, though we'll have to wait and find out.
