Abramoff was a ubiquitous lobbyist in Washington from the 1980’s-2000’s. “Lobbyist” of course being an Old English manner of pronouncing “serial briber and defrauder”. In 2006, Abramoff pled guilty to fraud, conspiracy and tax evasion after cheating a casino out of an estimated $85 million. Soon after he was sentenced to 70 months after a fake transfer to qualify for a $60 million loan. On top of it, Abramoff got caught for bribing representatives, including then-Republican Ohio Representative Bob Ney, who was convicted of accepting Abramoff’s bribes. It seems like anyone with “off” in their name is probably going to steal your money.
