More on the Thomas Kontogiannis front.

We noted this last summer. But in addition to having cut a deal with prosecutors to plea guilty to misdemeanor fraud charges in a New York public school bid-rigging scandal back in 2002, the FBI arrested Kontogiannis and an employee at the US Embassy in Athens a decade earlier for accepting bribes to provide phony US visas.

Kontogiannis got 5 years probation in the visa fraud case and then managed to avoid prison again in the bid-rigging case.
