An owner of a defunct company accused of bilking the Defense Department out of more than $20 million — including charging nearly $1 million to ship two 19-cent washers — pleaded guilty Aug. 16 to federal wire fraud and money laundering....

....From 1997 to 2006, Corley and Wooten exploited an automated shipping payment system designed to speed shipments bound for U.S. forces overseas by submitting huge bills to ship inexpensive items, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors said among the fraudulent charges were ones for $998,798 to ship two 19-cent lock washers, $492,097 to ship an $11 threaded plug and $499,569 to ship 10 cotter pins worth $1.99 each.

WOW! That is truly thinking BIG! I'll bet that Dickwahd is already working on getting them a pardon from his little Boy King.

EXTRA: More good details here. Gotta love the way she blames her dead twin sister.
