He faces 10 months to 16 months in prison I wonder if they'd consider house arrest, y'know, so he could get to watching the movies.

Weathers was arrested in February 2008 after investigators filmed him taking DVDs from packages and slipping them into his backpack. Can I put that movie on my NetFlix list?

At 100 minutes per movie, it would take almost 5 years to watch them all non-stop.

He'll be sentenced to do community service at the post office.

restitution costs of about $38,000 A bit over $1.00 per movie? Seems way too low.

When we were in Michigan, our son’s Netflick account was closed because we were not receiving the disks. Several times we received an empty envelope. We contacted the postal service a couple of times about it. Good to hear he was caught.

Obama to America:
You put up with crappy service from the Post Office.
You wait in line forever to be treated rudely at the DMV.
You tolerate being harassed by the IRS for taking legitimate deductions while top government officials get a wink and a nod for blatant tax fraud.
You put up with government intruding in your life while taking your hard earned money and abusing you at every turn.
So why don’t you like my health care plan? It’s just more of what you are already putting up with.
To: Michael.SF.
I think they recovered the movies, the “cost” was in lowering the available supply by taking them out of circulation until his arrest and their recovery (unless they are still being held as evidence).

This pathetic loser is perfect for the Obama administration.
Afterall, he steals, lies, cheats and steals some more.
The jokes about him working for Obama would be funny if they weren't so true.

He’s a government worker. He is probably on Paid administrative leave.

Let’s see if I have this correct...
Copy ONE movie and it’s 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Steal 30,000 movies and it 10-16 months and $38,000 in fines.
Yep, I guess that makes sense in MA and DC! Hmmmm.....
To: anonsquared
So when does Obama announce that the USPS Internal Investigation Officers "acted stupidly?"
