CIA Staffers Fired For Vending Machine Theft

Buzzfeed reports that several CIA contractors were fired for stealing $3,314.40 in snacks from vending machines. The thefts took place starting in the fall of 2012 and continued through March 2013, according to a declassified Office of Inspector General report from October 2013. The theft involved unplugging a cable connecting the machines to an electronic payment system called FreedomPay, and then using "unfunded FreedomPay cards" to buy the snacks at no cost.
