Walp and Duran aren't letting it go, aided by Montano. There was always much more to this than appeared publicly, including the canning of some very competent and experienced LANL managers who did not deserve it, and not those named in the story.

Come on, there is absoutly nothing to this, never was. Other people where their as well.

University of phoenix or Walden University?
I know LANL is messed up managerially in a number of ways, but whacking people? Hiring assassins? Setting up crime scenes? Someone's been watching too many bad movies.
This is pathetic drivel.

Knowing Montano it was not very much because if it was he would go screaming all over the place how much he got and he is vindicated. Since he does not say a word about it the amount must put him in a bad light.
This is pathetic drivel.

I have no idea what this poster is saying. No such actions occurred or were alleged by anyone. But quite a few posters here obviously know what went on and are reporting it accurately.
Nothing went on, so why are we talking about this?

Oh he got alot! Enough to build a brand new cabin in Northern NM. Ask him about it.

Chuck's problem is that he has a HUGE inferiority complex. He had a tough time working at LANL with his accounting degree from a small college working amongst the highest educated folks in the country from prestigious accredited Universities.

I doubt it.

Can you say "non-disclosure agreement"?

Murder? Did someone say "Murder" here? -- I said "Murder" because you said "Murder"!

Can you say "total BS"

Like many events, the true nature of what happened may never be fully known. Once Director John Browne was removed, the real terror started at LANL with the arrival of former navy Adm. Pete Nanos.

Still a little off-normal there, bucko. Get a clue.
This does confirm what is being said about Doran and Walp in this thread. No ability to understand what the Lab does, nor any evidence of logical thinking. They recall several cases of petty theft at a complex $2 billion enterprise. From here, they make a logical leap that the entire two billion a year is wasted.
Sure, it's bad that among the 10,000+ workers there were a few bad apples. But there was no culture of corruption or embezzlement. The vast majority of the workers were honest, dedicated people, working to defend this nation. To assert that all of them were stealing billions of taxpayer dollars is not only false it is an outrageous slander.
"The lab’s operators knew that if the Department of Energy discovered the magnitude of the situation—and the fact that they had been looking the other way—they could lose their multi-billion dollar contract to run the facility."
More misunderstanding, mischaracterization and BS. The "operators" were University of California. Their fee for running LANL was a symbolic $8 million/year. If you figure in that UC provided very generous pension benefits to the lab employees without taking any contributions for many years, the taxpayers were getting an amazing deal.
Fast forward 15 years. The contract change did not fix the petty thefts (Beth Sellers anyone?). The new contractor fee is almost 10 times more. The free pension benefits from UC are gone. The workforce is demoralized and the best and brightest have been leaving in droves. Do Doran and Walp realize that they caused much more harm to this nation that the woman who embezzled $1,800?
Can they realize this?

I thought the parallel between these cops and Inspector Cluseau was actually right on. They came in, understood nothing, and in the process of "interrogations" caused utter devastation. And now they scream "murder".
What's so difficult?

A very poor position from which to see what "really happened." Some of us interacted with the principals on an almost-daily basis. There is no fear, just weariness and disgust for Walp, Duran, and Montano for still trying to get their 15 minutes of fame. I guess they think enough time has passed that their lies and misdeeds will not be recognized or remembered.
No one is afraid, I say bring it on since it would just make these clowns look bad again. I really doubt there will be one though.
