from the internet:
Tracy Lucas-Stevenson earned $40,000 as a state motor vehicle employee, so she raised investiators' eyebrows when an acquaintance said she bragged about buying a Lincoln Navigator, a pool and a new kitchen within a year.

What authorities uncovered was a web of illegal immigrants, shady middlemen with names like "Chile" and "El Gordo" and motor vehicle examiners like Lucas-Stevenson who are accused of issuing illegal driver's licenses.

Connecticut had developed a reputation from as far away as Florida as a place where people could buy fraudulent driver's licenses for as much as $3,500 without having to produce any identification. DMV workers also took payoffs for stealing the identities of legitimate license holders, police say.

This same place was used by many of the rich here in CT to register "gray market" motorcycles....not really legal for CT roads... such as the RGV-250 and RG-500 Gamma. I know of a KX-500 I can buy right now that is "street legal"...it would make a truly awesome SuperMotard bike.....LOL
