Alex Jamane Flowers, a former Social Security employee in the Birmingham area, has pleaded guilty to uning his position to obtain private information on Social Security recipients and using that information to steal $4,200 from those recipients. He'll be spending at least two years in prison and maybe a lot more. Flowers admitted to his actions in late June 2013 but contacted another Social Security employee in July 2013 attempting to obtain information on two other Social Security beneficiaries!
