Former NYS Worker Pleads Guilty
A former New York State Department of Health worker has pleaded guilty to using the department’s postage meter to send items he auctioned on eBay, according to the state attorney general's office.
57-year-old Robert Pagini of Rensselaer admitted to using the department’s postage machine to pay the postage for the items that he was sending to his eBay customers from March of 2004 to January of this year. He also used the machine to pay for the postage on personal mail. All together the postage amounted to a theft from taxpayers of more than $16,000.
As part of the plea agreement, Pagini must pay full restitution and never again seek nor obtain employment with a government agency. Pagini was released without bail pending sentencing on August 27th.
