When interviewed the subject provided numerous false statements, but when he learned that one of the employers had admitted to employing him, provided me with a complete confession. By using a button hole sized video cam lens, I captured the "injured" screener lifting heavy speakers over his head, never showing on his face the anguish of pain. I video taped the subject actively working at his illegal employments. With this degree of evidence, including his confession, he received six years probation, removed from OWCP, and was terminated from his TSA position. During my tenure, I was the subject matter expert on OWCP fraud, and when requested by the Director, Internal Affairs, authored the first Standard Operating Procedure relating to this phenomenon.
