Really the only thing the article is missing is a rent-a-quote “expert” talking about this shows more controls and surveillance are needed. Of course no where in the article do they even address whether the money was legally obtained or no

Why so personal? I’m not saying I would do it. After reading victim stories I don’t think I’d have the heart to take a nickel from these people. I’m just saying that there are enough people out there with no morals who would do it and wou

This is pretty terrible. I still don’t get whey they need to enslave their workers though. Looking at average loss numbers per victim it seems even if the typical victim loss was $10,000 and the average employee got one victim a week that
