Two Former USPS Employees Indicted for Stealing $80 Million in Treasury Checks
14th June 2025
Missing your tax return check and living near Philadelphia? We might have an idea of what’s gone wrong…
That’s because two former employees of the U.S. Postal Service in Philadelphia have been indicted for their roles in a scheme involving the theft of over $80 million in U.S. Treasury checks, the Department of Justice announced Wednesday.
According to federal prosecutors, Tauheed Tucker, 23, and Saahir Irby, 27, both previously employed as mail processing clerks at the USPS Philadelphia Processing and Distribution Center, are accused of stealing thousands of envelopes containing Treasury checks, according to NBC Philadelphia.
‘Tauheed’? ‘Saahir’? I guess we know what ethnic identity they espouse. I always have to laugh at black people adopting Arabic or otherwise Muslim-adjacent names, as if that were more ‘authentically’ African in some sense, given the prominent place Arabs and other Muslims played in the African slave trade. They might with equal logic name themselves after Jefferson Davis or John C. Calhoun.
I guess the Postal Orifice doesn’t do criminal background checks on potential employees. (That would destroy their ‘diversity’.) Scott Adams used to tell the story of why he quit mailing his cartoons to his publisher via the Postal Orifice: People in the local post office would invariably steal them during transit.
