Records Rumors & Scandals

 * partially restored for comment on article improvement
 * A buddy who works at MPRC let me know last week that some of the student employees there were arrested by the FBI for smuggling records out of the building. This was either for fun, profit, or just plain stupidity.  The students were busted when a park ranger found a stack of records in a trash can.  I called MPRC on Friday to ask about this and they were very tight lipped - but didn't deny it.  I did a tour in Iraq and I can say this pisses me off.  If there are any other vets out there who feel the same way I do, call the MPRC at 314-801-0800 today and demand answers.  I'm thinking of calling the papers tomorrow. -71.85.201.239 (talk) 02:51, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Having conducted professional research at that facility, the above statement isn't really that surprising. We could possibly have a "rumors and scandals" section in the article but would need very reliable sources. The 2004 "Record Destruction Rumor" is very well documented - there was also an incident about eight or nine years ago where a worker at MPRC was arrested with military records in their car (although that was only in the local news). I'd be curious if anyone else has seen information about the above incident of late, and whether or not its been reported by any official news agencies. -OberRanks (talk) 14:54, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
