POSTMAN BAGGED IN $90M IRS MAIL 'FRAUD' (Dominican Republic-based fraud used stolen SS nos)

NY POST ^ | 2/27/09 | BRUCE GOLDING

Dominican Republic-based fraudsters reaped more than $40M in illegal IRS refunds last year using stolen SS numbers......a postal carrier arranged to have bogus checks sent to his route....... Lacy Bethea, 51, The Bronx, was arrested with 79 IRS checks on him.....a Bronx woman allegedly served as an intermediary between Bethea and José Franklin Duarte, a Dominican national who was also busted----his two brothers Rodolfo and Melvin Duarte were arrested here in similar scams in 2002 and 2008, they fled the US and are believed hiding in the Dominican Republic...... the Postal Service indicated other mail carriers were likely to be arrested.

I guess the fraudsters "forgot" (/s). Bush and Rove said that once these corrupt "Turd Worlders" experienced American freedom, they would discard their evil ways and embrace democracy and all it stands for (snicker).

Amazing they are actually being prosecuted------Bush sent Rove to tell La Raza----US laws would NOT be enforced-----so that these people sneaking across our borders could have “a better life.”

I can never forgive Bush for what he did aiding illegal immigration.
He obviously had no compassion for actual citizens. I know
he was good on the war on terror but I believe the open
borders policy will be downfall of our country.

$90,000,000 in bogus IRS refund checks? All sent to one postal route? Obviously the IRS does not have any reality-checking fraud prevention software in their check refund system. Just how many checks were cut? How big were those “refunds”. It’s pretty hard to chop up $90,000,000 dollars into less noticeable denominations.

I think it has something to do with bean counting (production). Getting the small mistakes takes less work for the government worker.

The Turd World crooks used stolen SS nos---doesn't say how many---could be a lot. Probably some of the checks went straight to the Dominican Republican.
