Three Health Department workers stole a total of $4,855 in gift cards, which they spent on cable bills, a staff pizza lunch, and home goods, prosecutors said.
City Health Department workers already making six-figure salaries allegedly ripped off thousands of dollars in gift cards purchased with taxpayer money and meant for HIV-prevention programs.
In 2017, then-director of finance administration Mahboob Bari Khan, 63, and fiscal analyst Lisa Burgess-Thomas, 58, handled ordering and distributing gift cards from Amazon, Visa, and Mastercard, which were intended for participants in HIV prevention programs, such as surveys and other research projects.
Khan, who earned $110,754 a year when he retired in 2022, ended up using $2,200 in stolen gift cards to cover his Time Warner Cable bills, in addition to making Amazon purchases and picking up the tab for a staff lunch at Lucky’s Pizzeria in Long Island City, according to the criminal complaints and city records.
