SDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 26 – Thomas Caputo was
charged with using false
overtime to rip off the
Metropolitan Transit
Authority, and thus, the
taxpayers.
On August 26 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Paul A. Engelmayer held a
change of plea proceeding.
Inner City Press covered it.
Caputo was, for a time, the
highest-paid employee of the
MTA.
In 2018 he
racked up $461,000, claiming
3,864 hours of overtime. His
guilty plea was on a Thursday
in late August. He remains
free on bond.
His sentencing is
set for December 9 at 10:30
am.
The case is US v.
Caputo, 20-cr-645 (Engelmayer)
