Good ol' Paul Powell.

I think of him every time I renew my license plates. IIRC, any checks sent to Powell's office that said "Secretary of State Paul Powell" went to the Illinois coffers, but any checks that just had "Paul Powell" were cashed and deposited in his shoe boxes at home. He died before he got around to finding a better hiding place.

An honest mistake. He probably just figured they were gifts, ya know?
