Favre the Welfare King faces no legal trouble, of course!
Brett Favre must return $828K in welfare funds to Mississippi or face civil lawsuit, state auditor says
Brett Favre must return $828K in welfare funds to Mississippi or face civil lawsuit, state auditor says (msn.com)
Favre isn't facing any criminal charges for his involvement, but if he doesn't repay the money within 30 days he will face a civil lawsuit, as will Favre Enterprises. White announced that Mississippi Department of Human Services former executive director John Davis isn't so lucky, as he is currently awaiting trial on embezzlement charges related to the scheme.
Favre has maintained that he was unaware the funds were given illegally when he accepted them.
In May 2020, an auditor announced that Favre had returned some of the funds, which is why he owes $828,000 and not the original $1.1 million. Favre received $500,000 in December 2017 and $600,000 in June 2018.
Of course not. This pissed me off because people that needed assistance were denied because of him.
Hell of a quarterback, doesn't seem to be that great of a person
Favre scam for over 1 million and we complain when some one who actually needs welfare uses it and buys something we deem expensive. Also, Mississippi is literally the poorest State in the Country and uses more of our Federal funds, programs from our taxes then they put in. Oh well, Favre is the Mississippi icon, go figure! We continue to side with rich people without a care of how they generated their wealth. We assume all rich people are hard workers and poor people don't work.
I will now jump down off my soapbox....aww I twisted my ankle :)

Mississippi needs a recount, at their own expense. I would be willing to bet, bigly, that there are more election legal issues in southern red states, than blue states.
Favre wasn't the only one in Mississippi that did this: it was so poorly managed by the state. Utter incompetency but that happens often with these money giveaways and welfare.

I will be very interested in any time she gets or others involved. White collar crime seems to pay off in many cases.
Accountant pleads guilty in Mississippi human services fraud
.jpeg)
Court records show 65-year-old Anne McGrew of Jackson pleaded guilty Monday and agreed to testify against others indicted in the case.
McGrew, Nancy New and Zach New were among six people indicted in early 2020 in what state Auditor Shad White called “a sprawling conspiracy” of alleged misspending.
McGrew is going to testify against these good folks who operated a private school and also funneled money into a for profit using federal funds.
Favre and the other pictures are the new faces of Welfare King and Queens in our poorest State that uses the most Federal Tax money we all pay into.
Update:
Favre "the Wefare King" has paid back the $$$$ for what he was paid for no-show appearances but still owes $228,000 interest and penalties. Very wealthy people have been gaming the system for millions while we point to the "queens" who use their card to buy cigarettes or god forbid a steak.
Favre isn’t facing criminal chargers for his actions, but Mississippi Department of Human Services director John Davis and others have been charged in one of the largest embezzlement cases in Mississippi.
I was also reading of the others involved in our poorest States largest embezzlement case. Their is also a famous wrestler/turned preacher father and son who owe even more then Favre. I don't think they have the money to pay back and get off with no criminal charges so we might hear more about them. The main embezzlers from what I could gather were a couple who started a charter school (of course salaried) using the State Welfare funds and then also started a for profit company who low-and-behold the charter school "needed" their services, so a nice double-dip.
Who says white collar crimes doesn't pay :)
Mississippi isn't just the poorest ... they're also routinely dead last in education.
Charter schools ... that's an entire network ripe with fraud, which is why Devos pushed it so hard to divert funds away from public schools. Also exactly why he was given her Secretary of Education post with zero background in education.
Exhibit # 67,932 of wealthy white people gaming the system while simultaneously screwing over minorities and the poor, then walking away scot free.
The same people who scream against socialism are the same who desperately need its social programs and services. I say give them what they want, I'll happily divert federal funds away from dumbasses who continue to vote against it.

Questioning the election is literally violence.

Oh and of course the lowest person in the scheme is so far the only being prosecuted - the accountant - as she should be but what about criminal chargers for the others????

Questioning the election is literally violence.If questioning was all there was to it. Since you and Jimmy have authority malfeasance would be your simple indiscretion. But since I have payed annually for promotion of this site. You and the goatboy Jimmy have opened yourselves to some exposure to misfeasance;
Misfeasance is
the wrongful and injurious exercise of lawful authority — that is, the
doing of an act which might lawfully be done, but is done in an improper
manner.
You two have made for some interesting legal discussions with my fellow retirees looking for some kickass gutter fun.

another update if anyone is interested in the Welfare scandal:"Mr. Favre was not the only prominent figure whom Mr. White had threatened to sue for outstanding debts connected to the welfare scheme. Heart of David Ministry, a Christian ministry that is controlled by the former W.W.E. wrestler Ted DiBiase Sr., who is known as the Million Dollar Man, must repay $722,299, Mr. White said earlier this month. One of Mr. DiBiase’s sons, Ted DiBiase Jr., who is also a former professional wrestler, must repay $3.9 million, Mr. White said. Another son, Brett DiBiase, who is also a former professional wrestler and was charged in connection with the fraud scheme last year, must pay $225,950, Mr. White said.In December, Brett DiBiase pleaded guilty to making fraudulent statements, prosecutors said. As part of a sentencing agreement, prosecutors said that they would recommend that Brett DiBiase receive a five-year suspended sentence if he cooperates in the prosecution of other defendants indicted in the welfare scheme and pays full restitution in the amount of $48,000."So all Favre and the famous minister/Wrestler have to do is repay all the money they bilked with penalties. Favre over 1 million and the minister 3.9 million!!! That is not the minister of defense we are talking about :) But other then repay they are off the hook. The minister's son was also in on the scheme for $226K and will have to repay that + $48K restitution/penance but will not be sentenced for anything either, well isn't that wonderful.
Funny, in these white collar crime scandals they end up only prosecuting the lowest man/women on the totem pole and then the millionaires all walk away with an Ooopps, that was a close call!
Hey did you see that welfare queen buy a pack of cigarettes today :) A pack of cigarettes is $6.34 cents in Miss. So between Favre and the Minister they stole (5.2 million) or 836,000 pack of cigarettes using our Federal tax money. A gallon of milk is half that so about 1.7 million gallons of milk for our poorest children in our poorest State.
