The Double Dipper’s pension gets dipped. 

 

The Federal court is garnishing now former Quincy police Lieutenant Tom Corliss’ pension to recover the money he defrauded from both the City of Quincy as well as the underlying private parties who paid Corliss for police details he did not not actually work.

Mr. Corliss opted to put in for an early retirement during the time window for him to be able to do so between his conviction by a jury and his formal sentencing by the judge presiding over his trial.

 

That and City of Quincy officials processed his last minute request.

 

Corliss, a former resident of Hanover and now an inmate at a federal prison in Lewisburg PA, was later ruled to owe a reimbursement of $8,23200 in ill-gotten gains upon the event of his sentencing last fall.

Mr. Corliss, however, challenged the court’s forfeiture order, only to see Federal Judge Leo Sorokin rule a month ago that Quincy’s retirement board deduct his forfeiture order, plus penalties and net of other revisions to the original order, from the greatly reduced pension payments that Corliss continues to receive.

 

In turn, the funds will be impounded funds until Mr. Corliss exhausts his sure to be exhausting appeals of his convictions on a variety of federal felony counts.

Speaking of the delay game, Mr. Corliss is also continuing to leg out via other appeals the official termination of his pension benefits above and beyond what he has personally contributed towards funding same given his multiple felony convictions for double and sometimes even triple dipping given his false claims of being on duty.
