still not going to forget Solyndra

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they are takeing effort to address this corruption. Hope they take the recovered money and buy some t-bills back as opposed to just dumping it back in the general fund.

The Energy Department's inspector general has launched more than 100 criminal investigations related to 2009 economic stimulus spending.
In written testimony prepared for delivery to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today, Inspector General Gregory Friedman said the investigations have involved "various schemes, including the submission of false information, claims for unallowable or unauthorized expenses, and other improper uses of Recovery Act funds."

So far, the investigations have led to five criminal prosecutions and brought in "over $2.3 million in monetary recoveries," Friedman said.​
