So our tax dollars are going to drug cartels.

Even a 10% cut in benefits would save millions for the taxpayer. For the individual recipient, it would be $90 instead of $100.
IOW, 3 or 4 fewer bags of potato chips.

What this woman did is commonplace, and it’s hard to catch.
The money laundering was what tripped her up.

So is there any information on whether or not she’s a citizen? Green Card holder? illegal alien? If she’s one of the last two, my bet is that they will simply deport her along with the $3,6 million. Sorta like a Black version of Br’er Rabbit where the “briar patch” is Ghana!

And these are only the ones dumb enough to get caught.

I’m sorry, but we are going to have to start hanging thieves.

There are too many of them, and they are not afraid of prison.

She will put the store in a relatives name and it will be fraud business as usual in a week. Then four years from now it may be discovered again. Paging Al Sharpton who has avoided tax crimes by shutting down, renaming, and reopening.

There should be MANDATORY JAIL TIME for government fraud (minimum 10 years) AND immediate deportation (afterwards) if it is an immigrant

I see where federal funds were misused, but I don’t see where the government was out 3 million dollars.

It’s nothing new. I guess the innovative thing here was the store owner being the purchaser of said stamps.

Precisely, nor is it in any way a novel event. This has been going on since these things were issued.

The other scam is one of 'shopping to order'--buying high end groceries and 'turning' them for half price.

You really didn't think those folks were grilling ribeyes every night, or that they ate that much lobster, did you?

Please explain?

I tried to figure what you meant, but all I got was a headache.

That’s an insensitive thing to say.

It was flavor aid.

Financial fraud crimes take longer. I think I heard once is that the trigger for investigating is the annual expenses paid to the vendor. So they have to review the previous annual reports to determine the average annual expenses paid to the vendor and then look for a trend that exceeds that which is greater than the trend they establish for various allowable fluctuations in the marketplace.

More than likely she got to greedy and started expensing more to her store than would be allowed under the trend.

I didn’t use the ‘K’ because I wasn’t sure of the brand. Really, though, that wasn’t the active ingredient that killed people, it was just the ‘spoonful of sugar’.

It was the saccharin.
That or the cyanide or the diazepam.

“There should be MANDATORY JAIL TIME for government fraud..”

Our debt will sink us as a nation. And this fraud is part of the problem. Destroying our nation is treason. If we brought back public hangings on the courthouse square for treason it would go a long way to decreasing this type of behavior.
