Bankruptcy clerk’s lavish spending sparks scrutiny
George Ray, a clerk for the federal courts in the Syracuse area, faced bankruptcy while living lavishly on a $112,000 salary and $15,000 in bonuses. American Express claims Ray charged about $7,000 in luxury items knowing he would file for bankruptcy, including travel lodging and car rentals, with disputes over a December $4,800 payment and a January Avis rental. Ray says expenses were mischarged business costs or personal errors and that he has since been promoted to a key position in Washington D.C.
