A Stony Brook University professor was indicted for stealing upward of $200,000 in cancer research funds, authorities said Thursday.
"Professor Girnun's alleged theft of federal and state grant funds earmarked for cancer research can be explained in two words: pure greed," United States Attorney Donoghue said in a statement."He will now be held to account in a federal courtroom." The charges stem from incidents that occurred around 2013 and 2017, when Girnun allegedly formed two"shell companies" that"purportedly provided research items and equipment for the defendant's cancer-related research projects," according to the attorney's office.
Girnun's lawyer, Steven A. Metcalf, told Newsday they were"shocked" by the charges. Girnun appeared in court Thursday and pleaded not guilty.FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge William F. Sweeney Jr. called the professor's actions"despicable."
'If convicted, Girnun faces up to 20 years in prison, authorities said.' And, he deserves every one of them and, more.
Where do you think most of that money goes anyway? Definitely not cures because that would put a tremendous amount of people out of work. Think that shat justice system actually wants to solve crime? This whole country is a joke. Trump is exactly the kind of president we deserve
