Introduction Ralph Mariano, former senior systems engineer with the United States Navy’s Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), pleaded guilty to conspiracy and to defrauding the U.S government of up to $20 million. He spent millions of taxpayer dollars in every imaginable way, money intended to protect the people of our nation. Using all the people involved in this case, Mariano directed them and other manipulators to bill the Navy for work that was never performed. One may think that in a case like this, dealing with the government, it would be impossible to pull off a scheme such as this one.

Former Attorney General John Mitchell, who at the time was the head of the Nixon re-election campaign, denied any involvement with the Watergate break-in or knowledge of the five burglars. On August 1, a $25,000 cashiers check earmarked for the Nixon re-election campaign, was found in the bank account of one of the Watergate burglars. Further investigation would reveal accounts showing that still more thousands had passed through their bank and credit card accounts, supporting their travel, living expenses, and purchases, in the months leading up to their arrests.
But nothing from the cables linked the Rosenbergs to it; Julius was arrested on suspicion of espionage when he was named by Sergeant David Greenglass, Ethel’s brother. Julius was the first to be arrested, Ethel was arrested one month after her husband. The FBI was at first very unsuccessful in getting any information from Julius Rosenberg so hoping to persuade Julius into talking they made Ethel’s case capital. This was a very controversial because it was obvious that not enough evidence had been found that would lead the FBI to believe that Ethel was involved enough to receive the death sentence.. While in jail both Ethel and Julius wrote letters that were widely published and that let the public know what they were going through.
