So why would refunding these transactions render the credit card thief unable to use these cards? In any case, I’d guess this was traffic from a checker used by multiple people or some market site. Odds are the valid cards were immediately

I’m implying that people don’t blow up their own jets, this isn’t something that’s worth combatting. For insurance fraud you’re better off setting the aircraft on fire on the ground or ditching the aircraft in water. Odds are that you’ll e

So what’s the deal with Japan supposedly regularly xraying luggage going onto private jets? That’s not the norm in most of the world. Generally you xray for security, not for customs purposes. Nobody is going to bring a bomb on their own (o

The idea that rich people should go to prison just because poor people are going to prison is nothing but twisted. None of those people should be going to prison, and in many sane countries they aren’t.

Is it really so hard to believe that this could be an organizational issue where no single individual is culpable enough to deserve a custodial sentence? It really feels like many commenters here are just after some weird revenge porn.
