Democrat Sen. John Sampson, 47, the New York State Senate leader and former leader of the Democratic caucus, has been indicted on charges of embezzlement, obstruction of justice, and making false statements to the FBI.
Sampson has been accused of embezzling $440,000 between 1998 and 2008. He used escrow accounts which were in his control when he negotiated foreclosures for the court to channel some of the funds into his attempt to be elected Brooklyn district attorney in 2005.

No, I beg to differ. It wasn't for any of that (else the entire corrupt state government hierarchy would be in orange jump suits.)
No, he was indicted for stupidity, i.e. being dumb enough to get caught.
