Drexel discovered the alleged fraud in 2017 during an internal audit and alerted the government. This is an example of flagrant and audacious fraud, and a shameful misuse of public funds.’ said US Attorney William McSwain. ‘The agencies providing these grant funds expect them to be used towards advancements in energy and naval technology for public benefit, not for personal entertainment.

According to prosecutors, the professor submitted several improper charges against his federal grants for ‘goods and services’ billed at strip clubs, including Club Risque, Cheerleaders, and the Tacony Club, spanning from 2007 until 2017. Investigators also found he’d been misspending government issued funds in sports bars and on iTunes. In total, Nwankpa was found to have misspent a total of $189,062, which had been intended for energy, science, and naval research. When confronted by authorities, Nwankpa came clean, admitting to being the culprit behind the unauthorized expenses and resigned from his post. He also agreed to pay back $53,328 — less than a third of the overall bill he ran up. McSwain lauded Drexel for reporting the matter but expressed disappointment that Nwankpa's conduct ‘went unnoticed for so long.’

Drexel has agreed to pay $189,000 to resolve its potential civil liability in the case. The university said in a statement that it fully cooperated with the government investigation and since then it has improved its auditing controls. ‘Drexel takes allegations of unethical or unlawful business conduct on the part of any members of the university community very seriously and remains committed to being in full compliance with all billing regulations and requirements,’ the statement reads. Meanwhile, Nwankpa was barred from federal contracting for six months, prosecutors said, but he has not been charged with a crime. A message-seeking comment was left at a number for Nwankpa, who worked at Drexel for 27 years until his 2017 resignation. During that time, he was considered among the university’s top contractors of research grant funds, boasting in his faculty bio that he landed more than $10 million in research money across his career. An online profile for Nwankpa says he is now self-employed as an engineering consultant.

Such a shame. A thief is a thief any day. His salary at Drexel is probably higher than what he stole. Let’s try to be contented. If you are not content with your salary, leave and find a job elsewhere. See how he misappropriated very important research funds. Who did this to us? 1 Like |
