A French tax official cheated the government out of 600,000 euros ($820,000) by creating a phantom identity as a university professor and claiming a salary for some 15 years, the government said Monday.
Education Ministry officials uncovered the scam in June and began legal and disciplinary action immediately, Budget Minister Eric Woerth said in a statement.

Nice work if you can get it
I'd like to know how this guy pulled off his scam for so long without anybody catching on:
Didn't anybody at the university he was drawing a salary from notice that he was, you know, never there? Or that he didn't seem to be doing any work?
