A high-ranking official at the U.S. State Department has pleaded guilty to stealing more than $650,000 in taxpayer money — and the media is barely covering it.
Levita Almuete Ferrer, 64, of Montgomery Village, Maryland — also known by her alias Levita Brezovic — admitted in federal court today to looting $657,347.50 from the State Department over a two-year span while working as a Senior Budget Analyst in the Office of the Chief of Protocol.
According to the DOJ, Ferrer wielded her signature authority like a blank checkbook, issuing 63 fraudulent checks between March 2022 and April 2024 — 60 to herself,

I looked high and low, but I couldn't find a picture of that government employee. You are on your own here.

Budget analyst spots what she sees as open cookie jar and, as a person of color, believes she is entitled. Her scheme seemed clever until it wasn't.

That's about the same as "Boyfriend Pay" for southern metropolitan district attorneys (minus, of course, vacation fees).

A Linkedin page with the same name has a picture of a female wearing a military mess dress with several rows of medals and a gold rating pin on top (Navy?).

How many more Levitas are still lurking throughout the multitude of federal bureaucracies? The pickings are just too easy.

This thief will likely chose to retire, but she should be stripped of her annuity or have 2 years stripped from her years of service.

Sounds like there were no safeguards in place to catch a government employee writing checks to herself.

Her bio includes a medical department in the federal government, not the Navy. #11, I think the point others are making is that it has become so old, so predictable that DEI and the assault on Western traditions and Caucasians has led to the rise of unqualified and often destructive psychopathic hires simply because they are not white. The unfortunate rise of tribalism cuts both ways.

Yes, Poster 12. A requirement for two signatures on checks is a must. And what about the bank where this thief deposited the bogus checks? Didn’t any bank employees observe a pattern?

Did DOJE catch this, or had it been in litigation for years?

I'm betting this is tip of the iceberg stuff right here. And to answer number 11, seems EVERY one of these black females in government are prone to either abuse the power of their position or seal with their authority. Sorry if that offends one's sensibilities, facts don't lie.

Found her on Clintonfoundationtimeline.com, rather pleasant looking Hispanic woman. #11, it matters because almost all of the recent criminals in our government except the Bidens and Clinton have been people of color. i.e DEI hires. She wrote 63 checks to herself from government accounts. Not saying that whites are all honest, but relatively speaking, the ratio is higher for others.

It matters #11 because a person got fired last year for embezzlement from the government agency I worked for. You guessed it she was a Black female 20-year employee. She made it known that she like most federal employees "of color" that she loved Obama, Biden, Harris and hated the fact that PDJT existed. I guess being in charge of the financial department was just too much for her. She's proof that DEI is not a positive thing especially in the workplace.

" Sounds like there were no safeguards in place to catch a government employee writing checks to herself."
And yet, when I was on TDY for and Army school, I bought a $5 paperback book with my Government Travel Card to read on the flight. The first call I got when I got off the plane was a stern warning from the Finance Office about unauthorized purchases. When I pointed out that it was part of my per-diem, I was told if I wanted to make those kind of purchases, to use the card's ATM function and draw cash. When I tried to point out that it was the same money, just they couldn't see what it was spent on, they said it doesn't matter. You can't use the card for that kind of "frivolous" purchase! So if I bought a $25 airport hamburger, it would have been OK? Yes. From then on I used my own AMEX card, and filed for full daily per-diem when I got home.

Re #11. It doesn't normally matter whose race but an entitlement attitude has been fostered and pushed by the left and Dem party for years. They have been told that they are oppressed and a little back-door reparations is no big deal. There are plenty of white thieves. One of my fellow competitors bookkeepers managed to get over $200,000 before she was discovered and did time for it. She is white. Unfortunately, It's all too common to see this in people entrusted with handling money. The honest black people are probably angered that one of their own has done something like this. The statistics on black crime are undeniable and tragic. The result of liberal excuses has brought us to this and it doesn't help good, hardworking black people.

#6 When I graduated high school in 1971 many of the girls I graduated with(born in 1952-
1953) had names like Seleta, Oneta, Donita, Reneta, Selena, Bonita, several Ritas and Nitas. We joked the 1953 baby book names for girl all ended in eta/ita! And we were all white! I've kind of jumped to a conclusion and I might be wrong, but just clearing up any connotation of names having racial names.
