Why didn’t he just stash the money in his freezer so nobody would find it?

Well, you can “dig” to discover he’s a Democrat, or just guess ...both successful.

It does not appear that John Wesley Colvin Jr. has 60 years left in him and he will die behind bars.

What an idiot. He should have done his scam directly on the system rather than on individuals and he probably could have made off with millions like the rest of the Dems down there. I guess he wasn’t a big enough fish.

:-) I went back and looked and looked after your comment. I didn’t see Democrat there ... then I figured out what you were saying (finally saw the hidden /s!) You are right!

Ah come on guys ..he is just a big hearted Dum trying to help the “little” people.

If you think about it this fits the Dum dogma. You give us all your money and we will take good care of you.
More like I would put a gun to your head and steal your money...but that would be to obvious.

He doesn't have 60 days left in him once he reaches Angola.

Thanks for the link. I was only 8 months old when this article came out, which answers why I’m not familiar with this guy.

I realize this guy needs to go to prison, am I the only one who thinks 60 years is excessive?

If it’s not mentioned in the opening paragraph of the story, ALWAYS assume Democrat.
