A DOJ Press Release reports that "[a] former deputy manager and treasurer for Lockheed Martin Corporation’s political action committee has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and making false statements to the Federal Election Commission." The press release notes that the individual’s  "duties included, among other things, preparing contribution checks for distribution to federal and state candidates, keeping track of disbursements and receipts within the computer system of the Lockheed Martin Employees’ Political Action Committee (Lockheed PAC), and making periodic required filings with the FEC on Lockheed PAC’s behalf."  Unfortunately, the DOJ press release states that this individual "developed a scheme whereby he took Lockheed PAC checks totaling approximately $160,000, and wrote the checks to himself instead of to federal political candidates or campaigns."
