The B.C. government employee at the centre of a widening privacy scandal had a criminal record for credit-card fraud and counterfeiting at the time he was hired, the Times Colonist has learned.
Richard Ernest Wainwright, who was recently fired from the Ministry of Children and Family Development, was convicted of theft, unauthorized use of credit-card data, possession and use of counterfeit money, and two counts of possession of stolen property, stemming from a police investigation in Kamloops and Merritt in October 2004.
