A former White House adviser to former President Obama pled guilty to wire fraud on Friday in connection to an alleged scheme to steal $218,000 from a school network that he helped create.
“Seth Andrew, a former White House advisor, admitted today to devising a scheme to steal from the very same schools he helped create," Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement. "Andrew now faces time in federal prison for abusing his position and robbing those he promised to help.”

Andrew pled guilty to one count of wire fraud, which is punishable by up to 20 years in prison, according to the statement. He will be sentenced on April 14.
When Andrew was arrested last April, prosecutors said he was using some of the stolen funds "to obtain a savings on a mortgage for a multimillion-dollar Manhattan apartment."
Commentary:
I’m amazed that he was actually indicted., much less convicted.
Andrew will do the minimum time in Club Fed and come out nicely tanned. Don't forget he's got friends in D.C.
Of course, his reasoning will be, 'He did it for the children'.
