In 2009, a federal jury found Vincent J. Fumo guilty of defrauding the state Senate and two non-profit organizations. In the ruling, he was also found guilty of staging a cover up, as a failed bid to throw off the FBI and federal prosecutors. In addition to this, he acknowledged that he hired several of his cronies for no-show state jobs, used taxpayers money to hire private eyes to spy on his romantic and political rivals and overpaid some staff to serve illegally as his servants and political foot soldiers.
