LATINO'S "JUST HERE FOR A BETTER LIFE" SCAM Seems this tax-sucking latino worked for Cali's San Bernardino County Dept of Corrections. He said he worked 9 mos and got 3 mos time off to be with his children---one of whom was college age.
JJ asked him how he supported himself those 3 mos----he said he collected UI.
Seems the Cali Dept of Corrections perpetuates the acam---they calculately "laid him off" and rehired him 3 mos later.
He had been doing that for nine years. falsifying govt docvuments to get UI tax dollars---AKA government fraud.
Now get this----when he was "laid off" to be with his children, he was actually traveling to be with his girlfriend---she was suing him for a $4000 loan---which was why they were in J/J's court.
The 1980 Georgia General Assembly was concerned about the increasing sophistication of various criminal elements in government, so it adopted the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), patterned after a similar federal law.
RICO is often used to try to prove that a legal business was being used for illegal means, and, in the beginning, was used to prosecute drug traffickers or organized crime members.
But in recent years prosecutors have applied RICO to government officials accused of using their offices for personal gain (at the time this involved various former and current Atlanta public school officials).
To bring a case under Georgias RICO law, there must be at least two underlying felonies such as fraud, bribery, witness tampering (among others). RICO allows prosecutors to include multiple defendants charged with various crimes in the self-same indictment, and to charge that they were allegedly part of an ongoing criminal enterprise.
