Wait is he fired for his wife’s crime?

$1.5M fraud

Holy crap, from the title I thought she just made a cage vaccine ID for herself.

He didn’t get fired, he was consigned to desk duty. To my mind if the guys wife was involved in a $1.5m fraud it’s reasonable to question whether he had any involvement or just knew about it (that much money coming into the household and you don’t know?) and desk duty while you find out seems reasonable.

When you are a newspaper that writes everything toward the point of view of cops from Long Island, desk duty is a public square castration. I thought the Constitution forbade cruel and unusual punishment! They shoulda just docked him 2 vacation days like any other cop who beats to death a misdemeanor suspect

Jesus... Fire this guy and take away his pension. It's not fucking hard to deal with the corrupt shit in this city.

He is just arrogant pos. The plane he flew to draw that picture is wasting tax payer dollar with fuel costs.

I'm not completely certain that I remember the story correctly. But the city had told employees that they had to get vaccinated in order to keep their jobs. A lot of people, including many police officers, paid this guy's wife for cards that said they had been vaccinated when they hadn't.
I don't have any knowledge that this is what happened, but at the time, I thought that it seemed possible or likely that he, as a member of the NYPD, was bringing in the customers, and she, as a health care professional, was generating the cards.

Didn’t she have access to the COVID vaccine database and actually entered the fake info into the system?

She owns a healthcare facility
> Julie De Vuono, owner of Wild Child Pediatric Healthcare in Amityville, was charged with forgery and offering a false instrument for filing, a felony. after she allegedly used her Long Island medical center to make $1.5 million by selling fake vaccine cards.

Woah I just assumed a cake printed paper...she put it on the system too?

If I remember correctly, yes.

Yes—she did, just as doctors offices and pharmacies did.

Thorough investigations also need to be done on the individuals who got vaccinated there. I'm willing to bet good money plenty of his buddies on the NYPD and nearby forces went there for fake cards. Fire and charge any of the officers that won't get a "booster" (probably first actual dose for many) from a highly monitored facility. They are just as complicit in the fraud and anyone of them who actually got the vaccines shouldn't have any issue with it.
InterscholasticPea t1_j1q0zbs wrote
How do you prove that the individual knows? It’s a legitimate healthercare facility, not some Joe’s Deli. Anyone who got a fake card could just claimed they got jabbed there.
ccai t1_j1q2999 wrote
Anyone who genuinely thought they got the vaccine will likely want to be replaced the shot they weren't given. Boosters are a thing and according to actual science do work.
Anyone, especially any LEOs who faked it and is unwilling to get the shot again is likely a complicit piece of crap who committed fraud who should be fired and prosecuted. You can't 100% prove they didn't get it at the time of receiving the card, but if they aren't willing to get the vaccine again on record is pretty much guaranteed to have faked it in the first place and need to be purged out.

That’s the point.

What database?
thatgirlinny t1_j1ob061 wrote
That’s exactly the story, and he as one of the public service employees who probably had a fake vaccine card, got to keep his job.

She hasn't even been convicted yet. It's fair enough to say that a police officer shouldn't be married to a felon, but so far it's just a charge.
Turbulent_Link1738 t1_j1n8d03 wrote
Well she wasn’t a felon when they got married. It’s unfair to fire him not for not divorcing her.
sunflowercompass t1_j1nh9ek wrote
Funny how the bail reform opponents are all suddenly "innocent before proven guilty" when it's the right people being charged.
Turbulent_Link1738 t1_j1njl97 wrote
Nah she’s still going to prison. But I wouldn’t be surprised if she withheld knowledge of the money. People hide some crazy shit from their spouses
ccai t1_j1ng8fr wrote
He is supposed to uphold the law, I highly doubt he didn't know she was committing fraud on a large scale. If he's willing to overlook that, there's plenty he's willing to overlook as well and therefore failing to do his job - uphold the damn law.

No, he essentially was regulated to desk duty since January (when wife was arrested) until he retired in August. He can’t associate with felons. If she is convicted either he and her better move out. But being regulated to desk duty in the as the process plays out seems fair. Though clearly he disagrees.

But working for the biggest crime syndicate in New York was fine?

i am sorry for being that guy but the word you are looking for is relegated. to relegate is to consign or dismiss to an inferior rank or position. to regulate is to control or supervise by means of rules.

I don’t think he’s fired. Just assigned to desk duty. still getting paid. It takes a lot for NYPD to lose their job
