The USPS Scandal, or "The Great Postal Heist," was a massive embezzlement scheme that took place within the United States Postal Service (USPS) during the early 2000s. Over a period of several years, postal inspectors and other employees conspired to steal millions of dollars in postal funds, using various methods to conceal their activities. The scheme was eventually uncovered by an internal audit, leading to the arrest and conviction of dozens of individuals. The USPS Scandal highlighted systemic weaknesses in the Postal Service's internal controls and raised concerns about the security of the nation's mail system.
