Kenneth Elliott admitted that he stole nearly $43,000 from Fort Worth, Texas Metro Housing Partnership funds some of which were used to purchase a Bayliner boat. For that he was sentenced to prison and restitution.
Now – you know and he must have known that – every choice has a consequence. You do reap what you sow and Elliott’s sentence to federal prison plus restitution is that reaping taking place.
According to the US Attorney’s news release:
As president of Metro Housing Partnership, Elliott ran its day-to-day operations and was responsible for the disbursement of Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds that it received. Between April 1, 2002, and March 31, 2003, Metro Housing Partnership received more than $10,000 in federal grants from HUD.
Every choice has a consequence. As a white collar crime and business ethics speaker, I speak from first hand experience about the truth about consequences. Reality is – no one escapes the consequences of their choices. While Elliott avoided the consequences for a time – he did not avoid the consequences all together. Prison is no fun and will prove to be a dramatic change from his prior activities. You do reap what you sow.
If anyone reading has any background on Elliot feel free to comment as I study the behaviors and backgrounds of those convicted of white collar crime.
