A co-worker was convicted of trying to sell a:confused: semi-auto handgun to an undercover ATF agent several years ago. (Felony) He was required to disclose this information to the state, but knowing the consequenses, failed to do so. I have watched this guy make so many lives miserable over the years. Does anyone know specific laws for the state of California? He has retired, and is drawing full retirement, and double dipping by working as a retired annuitant. Who would I contact to report this?

Wth regard to failure to advise state of record, one of the following (if it doesn't put you in danger)
Secretary of Human Resources (Personnel) was possibly given a false application, which they should investigate if there is such a requirement.
Some states have a fraud hotline.
There again, if the facts are as you understand them to be, contact the Attorney General.
Could be a parole violation if he had a trial.
Last but not least, ATF might be interested.

Wherever you report it you are going to come under suspicion - you've known about this for years (when "he" was making people miserable) but never said anything until he began drawing full retirement and also double dipping (which is not illegal) by working?

So you were a co-conspirator in his failure to disclose scheme - ?

As far as his retirement - he did his job, he retired. I very much doubt anyone would revoke his pension now. That's a real stretch. Fire him at some point if you had reported it, probably yes (for filing a false application) but retroactively punish him? I don't see it.

And "double dipping" - unless he is precluded from working I see no problem there.

He doesn't sound good in this whole story but neither do you.

It might be too late to report him now since he's retired, but you can try if it makes you happy to do so. Why didn't you come forward a long time ago and report him? If he truly did this, then he should not be able to reap the rewards of a cushy pension when he is not entitled to it. In my opinion, he does not deserve it if he truly did that crime as semi autos are not that easy to come by and if he did sell it to an undercover ATF, he obviously knows some very interesting people who sold it to him in the first place.
