The founder of a national charter school network who once served as a White House adviser under President Barack Obama has pleaded guilty to a charge alleging he stole $218,000 from the network to get a lower interest rate on a multi-million-dollar Manhattan apartment.
Seth Andrew, 42, a founder of Democracy Prep, entered the plea in Manhattan federal court to wire fraud, admitting that he moved money in 2019 from the charter schools network to other bank accounts without authorization.

Interesting comments on the photos of the apartment. Small bedrooms, narrow kitchen. Brits don’t understand the market value of an address on Park. Location, location, location. Especially for an Obama arriviste...

And if a Trump advisor had taken a small pumpkin spice latte from a nonprofit, CNN and MSDNC and the rest of the RAT infested media whores would cover it 24/7. DM may be far left, but at least they report the miscreants of the left.

From the article, talking about mistakes.......
"He has, with courage, accepted responsibility for them."
You'll need plenty of courage in the general population recreational yard.

Another thieving black man in politics.
Hope he spends a long time in prison. ALL of that 20 years is about right.

I quickly read a Fox article a couple of hours on this scammer.....and here is the photo put in that story by Fox. They only other photo in the Fox story, is of Obama.

A closer reading ......shows that Fox is really weird. The photo, in a story about "Seth Andrew" pleading guilty, is illustrated by the above-linked photo......but closer reading shows that the caption says that the photo is Damian Williams.....whose name does not appear in the story text anywhere. ???????? No photo of "Seth Andrew" in the Fox story. So who is Damian Williams and why is photo?
But, several photos of a white guy.....Seth Andrew....in the DM story.
Here's the link to the Fox story. I wonder if Fox will correct it at some point? I scanned the DM intro, had already quickly read the Fox story on same topic.....and thought I had seen a photo of the scammer, as a black man. I wonder who in the heck this Damian Williams guy is?

Thus proving that a demonrat can never ever be trusted with money. They'll scam it for their own profit every time.

No problem. This will look good on Seth Andrew's CV. Al Franken stole funds from the Boys Club and that helped him get a seat in the US Senate.

Give him credit; at least he didn't steal the whole $2M. Cut the man some slack, dagnamit; he's got some growing to do to match his greedy, lying, stealing former boss and con artist.

About his ethnicity - - Seth Andrew is a standard issue, nice New York Jewish boy.
If he weren't a crook - - he could've run a discount electronics store. In fact - - if he were a crook - - he still could have run a discount electronics store.

He watched Smidgen do it with a $15 million estate purchased through book sales laundering, why would they care about a little ol' $2 million flat?

Our media will not mention that he was an Obama advisor, even if they are allowed to run the story. Daily Mail UK does serve a small purpose in life because it does not have most of our PC filters. I will not mention the lack of editorial filters.

Number 11….product of Liberals public schools. Read the Fox article instead of just looking at the photos. Damian Williams is a U.S. Federal attorney being quoted on what penalty could be involved.

The one common thing shared by all embezzlers is that they intended to pay it back. Some time.

Seth’s a white guy. 42. Obama in office 2009-2017, Seth was an education adviser. Probably knew how to play basketball…shoot hoops with Obie? Or something.

He just needs to take a page from NY's jr. senator. It goes like this, "I'm sorry, I promise to try and do better next time."
