Three former Georgia Tech employees were charged with committing and conspiring to commit mail and wire fraud, the Department of Justice said.
James G. Maloney, James J. Acree and James D. Fraley were all charged in connection with fraudulent use of a Procurement Card (P-card) and fraudulent consulting activity, U.S. Attorney John A. Horn said.
“The defendants in this case were successful members of the scientific and research communities who allegedly allowed their judgment to be clouded by greed,” Horn said.
Fraley, 38, of Acworth served as the senior research technologist at Georgia Tech until October 2013.
