      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       TZUTC: -0400       MSGID: 1:120/616 182f79f9       -=> Aaron Thomas wrote to Dr. What <=-               AT> I heard that it's perfectly reasonable to give them a $400 million        AT> dollar fine when they commit mortgage fraud.              My understanding is that mortgage fraud is something worse than just a fine       (however large) which would make these people ineligible for office (partly       because they'd be in prison).               AT> Good point. Banks have cameras. There has to be suspects. Do we have        AT> enough cops for all this?              I don't think we need that. I thought that Social Security went direct       deposit. We have account numbers. Those accounts have people attached to       them.              Banks don't let just anyone take money out of an account.               AT> We need to tell our reps that we aren't happy about the fraud discovery        AT> but we will cheer up if we start seeing prosecutions. Isn't it a        AT> federal offense to rip off Social Security?              Probably.              I can see a few reasons why no prosecutions here: bigger fish to fry.              But we're still not seeing any of the big fish frying either.                     ... Success is just a matter of luck. Ask any failure.       ___ MultiMail/Linux v0.52              --- Mystic BBS/QWK v1.12 A47 2021/12/25 (Windows/32)        * Origin: cold fusion - cfbbs.net - grand rapids, mi (1:120/616)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 16/0 19/10 37 104/119 105/81 106/201 114/10 120/616       SEEN-BY: 123/130 128/187 129/14 305 142/104 153/757 7715 154/10 30       SEEN-BY: 154/50 110 700 203/0 218/700 840 220/30 90 221/1 6 242 360       SEEN-BY: 226/18 30 44 50 227/114 229/110 206 300 307 310 317 400 426       SEEN-BY: 229/428 470 700 705 240/5832 266/512 280/464 5003 291/111       SEEN-BY: 292/854 301/1 320/119 219 319 2119 322/757 762 326/101 335/364       SEEN-BY: 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/81 460/58 633/280 712/848 902/26       SEEN-BY: 2320/105 3634/12 5075/35       PATH: 120/616 154/10 221/6 1 320/219 229/426           |
