The money was initially meant for energy and naval technology research, but between the years of 2007 and 2017, Nwankpa repurposed the funds and made it rain in strip clubs and sports bars. He also reportedly spent money on iTunes purchases and other personal luxuries that he was said to have labelled “goods and services.”
Everything was gravy until after an internal university audit discovered the fraud that was taking place.
Even though Drexel reimbursed the government for the money, Nwankpa was not criminally charged at the time. He instead paid the university approximately $53,000 and resigned from his position at the university.
