Scott Bloch - Alleged Improper Deletion of Emails On Office Computers

Alleged Improper Deletion of Emails On Office Computers

Scott Bloch was under investigation for the alleged improper deletion of emails on office computers.

It is alleged that Scott Bloch erased the files on his office personal computer in 2007, and that the FBI tried to determine whether the emails were deleted improperly. The inspector general of the Office of Personnel Management examined the case at the urging of the White House. The Wall Street Journal reported in November 2007 that Bloch called the tech support service Geeks on Call for help deleting computer files instead of using his agency's own in-house computer technicians. Bloch confirmed that he contacted Geeks on Call, but insisted that it was to remove a computer virus.

    be humble and wear your dress and your smile, and don’t talk
    back ...
