According to a search warrant obtained by investigators and reviewed by Forbes, the equipment allegedly taken by the engineer cost nearly $90,000. It also added that when law enforcement agents searched his home, they found that he had “unauthorized administrator access” to radio communication technology used by the Air Education and Training Command (AETC), which is one of the nine major commands of the air force and in turn affected 17 defense department installations.
“It added that a colleague had reported him twice due to “insider threat indicators” as well as unauthorized possession of air force equipment, according to investigators”
Makes me wonder what the hell was going on over there. Guy clearly had a bit of a reputation so why was he allowed to just do whatever while people obviously suspected?

Is my favourite part. What the actual fuck.
Everyone should to read the article because you can’t really summarize all the shit he did. WTF.

Institutions often reach a point where exposure of incompetence is considered a larger threat than actual incompetence.
Large parts of our (and let’s be honest, most others too) military are way past that line, at least IMHO.
If he’s exposed it might cost someone a promotion, best to try to cover it up until leadership in his chain is promoted to a different post.
