John Buchanan Floyd has also been implicated in K.G.C. operations that he fraudulently made look like U.S. Government operations. Floyd was also involved in other activities, while he was the Secretary of War,that were designed by the K.G.C. to seize and divert U.S. Army supplies from the U.S. Government into the hands of the Rebels.
Cover Up:
Floyd was indicted for malversation in office, although the indictment was overruled in 1861 on technical grounds. Floyd was indicted for malversation in office, although the indictment was overruled in 1861 on technical grounds.
There is no proof that he profited by these irregular transactions; in fact, he went out of the office financially embarrassed
Truth:
John B. Floyd may not have personally gained profit from the fraudulent U.S. Government contracts he issued, however, the Rebel Army was able to seize U.S. supplies and make the K.G.C. money from the
U.S. Government contracts that (K.G.C. member)John B. Floyd issued to K.G.C. operations that were posing as legitimate contractors. The K.G.C. loved to screw the U.S. Government and make them pay for it. They got what they wanted, guns, ammo, and some Gold to fund the rebellion! All from fraudulent U.S. Government contracts issued by President James Buchanan and Secratary of War John B. Floyd.
