Inglis, along with his superior, Alexander, arranged and issued NSA and Treasury Fund checks monthly to ouside help by mail to PO Boxes, using street names and LLCs as payees. Hired help, agents with family with real estate investment and brokering experience, then laundered it over more than a decade, using a real estate strategy: invested $50K to $150K at a time into profitable distressed commercial real estate, corporate properties and luxury homes for rent.
NSA Money would pay for the down payments, then a high end mortgage wold cover the rest. After tenants paid down the mortage sufficiently over a few years, said property was then liquidated at a profit and profits distributed to the help, to Inglis and Alexander, to his partners, and to his operating overhead personnel. He has used FBI personnel to protect the scam.
Estimates put the total amount of his theft and embezzlement of Department of Defense and other US Government money at well in excess of $500 Million, or more, with a very substantial market value on the real property procured to launder the money, between 5 and 10 times the original embezzlement.
When witnesses and whistle blowers surfaced, they were harmed, attempted murder and at least one was killed.
The scam has been hidden behind false claims of legitiimate intelligence expenditures but were not, were investments used to hide the laundering of money for their own self enrichment. Has been going on for a decade or longer. Presently believed to be under investigation. Perpetrator has had a lot of time to add other government personnel to his 'payroll' to protect the scheme.
