Former NYPD Union boss Ed Mullins surrender to federal
authorities yesterday following charges that he had actually
stolen upto $1 million from the New York Police Union.
>> So guys, I would just want to make clear as we're gonna give you
the details here.
This is one of the worst guys in the country who kept saying, cops are awesome.
No one should ever question cops and we should get the profile minorities and
we should do everything we want and the other guys are soft on crime.
>> Yeah. >> Meanwhile he's been stealing from his
own officers from the union of the officers.
They pay dues into that union and he stole from them.
He's been the real criminal all along.
Meanwhile, high and mighty.
I am a right winger.
>> Yeah. >> And
the minorities are guilty [CROSSTALK] And we need to crack down on them.
>> He's protecting his checking account and serving himself.
>> Yeah. Well you'll see in the details.
>> Yeah, the details are pretty amazing.
Now the Manhattan US Attorney issued a statement about this case saying
as alleged Edward Mullins, the former president of the SBA, abused his
position of trust and authority to fund a lavish lifestyle that was paid for
by the monthly dues of the thousands of hardworking sergeants of the NYPD.
Mullin submitted a hundreds of phony expense reports to further his scheme,
stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from the SBA.
That's the Sergeants Benevolent Association, the Union that he stole from.
Now, hundreds of thousands of dollars doesn't even really describe it.
He stole a million bucks, let's keep it real and
here's what we know about it so far.
So Williams said Mullins defrauded the union by using his personal credit card
to pay for meals at high end restaurants and to pay for clothing, jewelry,
home appliances [LAUGH] and a relative's college tuition, among other things.
Mullins then submitted false and
inflated expense reports to the SBA between 2017 and October of 2020.
Mullins sought reimbursement for
those bills as legitimate SBA expenditures when in fact they were not.
So, let's give you a few of these items that he had filed expense reports for.
For instance,
if the actual cost of the meal was $522.55 which is like what is he eating?
[LAUGH] Where is he eating?
>> First of all he shouldn't be charging that at all.
>> Right >> That's his personal meal.
>> Can you Imagine.
>> It's not like a bunch of sergeants went out there like a massive meal at a diner
and it was hard.
That's his personal.
>> Yeah. >> Unbelievable bill to begin with,
let alone the extra fraud he's gonna do on top.
>> Yes Jack.
I had a nice lavish dinner at Mastro steakhouse.
I I just need you to sign off on this expense report.
[LAUGH] >> Like she's saying if that
happened here.
>> Yeah. No I mean it would be a joke.
No way.
Anyway, but let me continue.
If the actual cost of the meal was $522.55,
Mullins would seek reimbursement from the SBA for
$822.55 [LAUGH] and pocket the difference.
In April of 2021 Mullins charged a $45.92 charge
to an $845.92 at a wine bar in New Jersey,
a $609.89 charge to a $909.89
cent charge at a steakhouse restaurant.
And, the list goes on and on.
He would first of all have insanely expensive meals in the first place which I
feel like that should already be a huge red flag, but that wasn't good enough.
He would inflate how much the bill was just so
you can pad his pockets a little bit afterwards.
He's like a little steak, a little lobster, I'm really enjoying myself, but
I'd like a little cash too.
[LAUGH] So let me go ahead and file an expense report that inflates how much I
spent for this lavish dinner so I can take home some money as well, insane.
>> So, the funny thing is he's not put giving in the receipts because he can't,
so why bother changing $45 to $845.
You can make up any number or you can make it 800 you could make it 900 you're not
giving the receipt because the receipt was $45 and
we know because the investigation showed he didn't give the receipts.
In fact he started the crime spree when they changed the accountants or
something like that.
The person who was supposed to keep track of the receipts didn't ask him for
receipts.
He's like yes I finally get to steal as much as I wanted.
Remember, this guy is the head of the cops union.
The one who said that he was irate at the left wing huge Donald Trump supporter.
Of course I rated the left wing because they weren't stopping crime enough.
>> Okay. >> Meanwhile at the same exact time
[CROSSTALK] Not later at the same exact time he's like
yeah give me the Bob's too and Joe's too and Susie's too.
All of my fellow cops, I'm gonna steal from them.
By the way why is he a Donald Trump fan?
Because like Donald Trump, he's a con man.
And so he thinks he's a real Donald trump is a really successful criminal.
I would love to be a really successful criminal like him.
>> Right. >> Donald Trump has stolen I
don't know billions.
With all the money that he's defrauded his investors and
etc he's like I only stole a million bucks.
I'm just trying to catch up.
Okay.
He criticized Bill de Blasio's daughter for
attending a Black Lives matter protest because that encouraged criminality.
He stole $1 million dollars from his fellow cops.
But that is the right wing mind.
He thinks, yeah of course I'm allowed to steal anything I like.
I have to get to rule over you, I get to take your stuff.
That's law and order I take it.
Black guy does something a criminal.
Criminal, because in his mind he's guilty for being black, not for doing something
wrong and he's innocent even though he did something wrong because he's white.
>> By the way, I mean he was collecting two salaries.
Part of that had to do with being a full time union boss.
The other part, serving in the NYPD.
>> [LAUGH] [INAUDIBLE] NYPD.
>> Yeah, so in 2020 Mullins made more than $220,000 between those two jobs.
And then he was also stealing from the union that he was the leader of.
The grade is amazing to me.
It's amazing there's no end to how greedy these scammers are.
It's absolutely disgusting.
Now, what does this all mean?
Well he is charged with one count of wire fraud which carries a maximum
sentence of 20 years in prison.
After he pleaded not guilty at arraignment,
Mullins was released on a $250,000 personal recognizance bond.
Under the terms of his release he was ordered to surrender his passport and
turn in his weapon.
So. >> Wow are they not merciful?
Why is this guy out of prison?
This guy is a notorious criminal.
>> Yeah. >> I mean if some guy on the street steals
$50 and he can't afford bail, he'll still sit in prison for years and
you're gonna give this guy bail.
Give him 20 years.
Look you have to prove your case.
You have to show that he actually did it.
If he actually did it,
there's no reason why this Notorious criminal shouldn't get at least 20 years.
