Thanks for that link!

The thread I was on I think said that these cards are being sold by the refugees at the Astrodome, for less than the value on the card. So they're selling them for $500 or $1000, they get the cash, then the buyer can go use up the card.

Everybody wins! Except the US taxpayer...

And why would they need cash except for drugs or alcohol, even guns off the street..

They should have made the debit cards so that the 2k had to be used for housing, food, or clothing.
