Yeah, a long time ago.

Once I established that the DUmmie "Andy Stephenson" and the real-life Andy Stephenson were one and the same, I contacted the fraud division at the Washington (state) Department of Social Services.

They told me what to do, and I did it.

Cost me $5 extra in postage for certified mail, but worth it.

That was a month, six weeks, ago--whenever.

This was not something I would bother doing with an ordinary DUmmie such as "Faye" or "MoPaul" or even "William Pitt" (even if they had indulged in financial shenanigans, which they have not)--this is something I did because (a) Andy Stephenson is a public figure.....well, one needed no more reasons.

Whatever the reason, I'm glad you contacted the Fraud division in Wa. But......it's Washington--will they even care; they are darn liberal up there. He might be a hero to them! No offence to any Wa. residents who are reading this! LOL!

I sincerely wish Andy gets the health care he needs, but it appears DU has been obsessing with this for awhile and it is seriously detracting from DU's purpose. I don't mean to sound callous, and I don't want to deny that DUers in general are very giving, caring liberals. This post is very relevant for us all: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph... Perhaps there should be a separate Forum that doesn't suck the life out of GD. This is true for things like the "Bev Harris" story, too. It's like an out of control gossip chain postathon that we non-live-ins don't understand and it becomes impossible to understand no matter how many posts you read. Please don't take offense at this. It is just my observation that the obsessiveness of this particular matter and other personal issues are hurting this site.

too late - you got taken for a ride.

That's why the certified mail.

Yeah, sure, fraudsters are a dime a dozen (especially when counting the votes in Washington state), and the Washington (state) Department of Social Services probably gets lots and lots of claims of alleged fraud.

And being broad-bottomed desk-sitting bureaucrats, well--

And the deal is, I myself will never know what happens, unless Andy or one of his accomplices blurts something out, because of rules of confidentiality. But I can live with that; Andy is going to get his, sometime, somewhere, some day.

That long post from ana in KY, handicapped and on sss uses a credit card to get money to send to Andy Stephenson. Five hundred dollars! Can't repay it but glad she could give it to Andy.

If ana is a real person, not flyarm or sfexpat, Andy Stephenson should be whipped, naked, through three towns, then hanged on a gallows.

I will donate to a fund to build the gallows and buy the rope.

This is tragic. Can't those fools over there At DU, Pitt and Skinner, see what they have done?

I suspect--I do NOT KNOW--this DUmmie "Ana" is a real person (although the low post-count is suspicious), simply on the basis of the appearance of her response.

People who have to use "mechanical means" to utilize a keyboard, leave "fingerprints" all over the appearance of the message.....and the appearance of the message (the real one in DUmmieland, not as I copied-and-pasted it) indicates it was done by an overly-excited (and getting somewhat frustrated) handicapped person.

If not, someone did an excellent job of mimickry.

...and all of you who have spent so many hours (and spent so much on cigarettes!) will have the satisfaction of knowing that you had a big part in bringing this little slimebag down! Maybe they'll think twice in the DUmpster before giving.....NO! Wait--they're DUmmies. Never mind!

He might be a hero to them

I'm not sure he'd be a hero, but I'm not sure they'd really care either. The DSHS dept is flunking it's audits and won't supply the auditor with the information he needs.

I think Pitt has seen what's happened.

$kimmer is AWOL.

EarlG is stepping in and deleting everything...including the vanuted Pitt's posts as fast as he can.

Hey, do you still need anyone to do a DUmmiecide? That is, if I haven't already fatally compromised my former DUmmie ID Purrcy, which I may well have done with my ill-advised, open reply to I_like_good_things_too.

Not one bit surprised! Probably plenty of DUmmies work there!

Aw, nuts, that was supposed to be a PRIVATE reply. Well, so much for that. D'OH!

<*sigh*> I'll slink off somewhere now and feel like an idiot.

I just got lucky.

Between my airshift and the other stuff I have to do...I'm lucky to have kept up with this as well as I have.

I think Skinner knows...that's why he has disappeared. Somebody told him there is a storm coming and he better head to the shelter.

No, save it--yesterday when I solicited a DUmmiecide, I got plenty of responses--but never had to use any of them.

I will keep those voluntarily DUmmiecides for a few days (unless the person wants his back), just in case.

I am still waiting to hear from, uh, a source, and a DUmmiecide would be useful. I will wait a few days more.

I gotta say, I have a whole lot more respect for Will Pitt after his last post.

It's well stated, calm, and professional (he's done much better than I could in a similar situation).

Sorry, Will -- you certainly didn't deserve this.

I also saw a post by sfexpat on another blog where she said, happily, that a child had given 63 cents from his/her piggy bank.

Fred, you're my new hero. Consider it a high compliment that early on I thought you might just be clever enough to be TFDAS. ;)
