That’s a good tradeoff. Steal the money and deposit it where it can’t be traced and get three hits and a cot for two years.

A contradiction in terms?

<>$1,476,295.15 in kickbacks<>

Okay, even in this dollar inflated age, that is still some coin.

What bothers me most is when local pols risk prison for a few thousand bucks.

I’m an honest man. I tell shopkeepers or servers if they under-charged me.

But, I am imperfect. I have a price. I don’t know what it is, but it is out there somewhere and nobody so far has offered it.

Peanuts compared to most “white collar” crimes that are rarely pursued/prosecuted. The more one steals, it seems the punishment is less especially if one is connected to a political crime family or party.

Good job pointing out the achievements of the Biden administration.

Q would be proud if he wasn’t dead.

Sounds like a fair investment to me.

I have a price but I have not yet found it.

Giving contracts out to one’s brother in law’s company may not be the oldest trick in the book but it’s gotta be right up there.
