Sources at the Interior Department tell TIME that its inspector general, Earl E. Devaney, has been conducting a wide-ranging investigation into Abramoff's dealings with the Cabinet agency?which oversees many of the Indian-related issues Abramoff built most of his career around. In particular, the agency is looking into ties between Abramoff and former Deputy Interior Secretary J. Steven Griles, who has been accused of intervening in agency deliberations on behalf of the Coushattas. Griles has denied...

In this context, the action does look like stealing state funds on a multi-billion scale. This is just one example of many. Cabinet members or key Presidential Staff executives chairing corporation boards or serving on those boards are the order of the day in Russia.
