National Air Cargo makes $28 million no-jail plea deal with U.S. government

Orchard Park firm to pay fines and restitution, as owner avoids jail time, insists he did nothing wrong
By Michael Beebe and Dan Herbeck

Christopher J. Alf’s company was accused of cheating the government out of millions of dollars by falsely billing his best customer, the U.S. Defense Department.

But when Alf’s company, National Air Cargo of Orchard Park, is sentenced in the case, perhaps as soon as Thursday in U.S. District Court, neither Alf nor anyone in his company will go to jail.

Instead, National Air Cargo has agreed to pay fines and restitution totaling $28 million.

The company pleaded guilty in October to a single count of falsifying records to say that a military shipment arrived on time when it was late.

Alf will continue to make a fortune off a war half a world away.

And he will split time between his palatial $10.4 million home in Boca Raton, Fla., and his summer home — a $2 million lakefront mansion on Old Lake Shore Road in Hamburg.

Alf is one of the Americans who have been made wealthy by an Iraq War whose costs are now approaching $3 trillion.

3. It's incredible what actually outrages people here.
This fuck can bilk the US taxpayers for tens of millions of dollars and get away with it scot free.

But what does everyone get their panties in a bunch over???

An alleged comment made by a French actress... you people fucking amaze me.
