Ex-NYPD police officer Joseph Esposito pleaded guilty to being part of scamming Social Security, an article of the New York Times reported on August 27.
The 70-year-old ex-cop is accused of being one of the masterminds of a large-scale scam that resulted to over $27 million in disability funds lost from the government. Esposito pleaded guilty to charges of grand larceny in the Manhattan Supreme Court, under the terms of a cooperation agreement that he will testify against three other accused persons who had pleaded not guilty. Esposito’s sentence upon pleading guilty might result in seriously reduced penalties.
