Okay, got it.
Thats not a ‘background check’ as the term is used in my line of work. Thats just a slight upgrade over ‘googling’.
Well, it turned up a lot of information that a criminal database wouldn’t have found...these people appear never to have been arrested (yet) for fraud, but they’re skating pretty close to the edge.
They’re grifters, and grifters can go for a long time, escaping LE notice but still doing a lot of damage and defrauding both agencies and individuals. Sometimes, of course, they get tired of waiting and then kill some poor little old lady who has been nice to them. But the modern welfare grifter usually just floats from state to state. And probably votes Dem in all of them.
