Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) employees fraudulently received at least $9.7 million in pay and benefits over five years, according to a March 29, 2022, report from the Office of Special Counsel (OSC).

The report indicates that the fraud may have gone on longer. The report says ATF is working with the Office of Personnel Management to correct the problems.
