KVOA.com: Maricopa Man Guilty In Bogus Mad Cow Testing Case

PHOENIX -- A Maricopa man has pleaded guilty in a case that involved bogus testing for mad cow disease.

Roland Emerson Farabee, 55, had a federal government contract to collect samples from high-risk animals and submit them to the U.S. Department of Agriculture for testing. He was also supposed to keep the carcasses in a freezer until the tests were done.

But Farabee delivered tests from healthy animals and didn't keep the carcasses. He and his company, Farm Fresh Meats, Inc., pleaded guilty this week to theft of government funds, wire fraud and mail fraud. The scam cost the government $390,000.

Farabee was paid $150 for each specimen he submitted.

Math - $390,000 / 150 = 2900 head. :shock:

Couldn't help notice the posts in reference to R. Farabee farm fresh meats..

quite a few, if not most of these downer's where inserted into the human food chain for year (S) ... And it only attests to the class of expensive inspections being done. And how they are scrutenized by (all) knowing officials.
Roland was turned in by someone whom he had dealings with ...otherwise the food chain would still be using the downers as it had been doing in the past. May not be all bad but
we've been braying to import countries about how clean our beef products are. Let's hope they can remain believers thru the clouds.
