Termyn8or -> RE: What will they think of next? (6/25/2008 7:30:42 AM)

I've known alot of people in the joint, and their accomplices on the outside. In a US prison if you have money you can get just about anything you want, even out, but most won't go for that because they know they will be hunted until the day they die. You can however, get out for a night with your olady. Now that would serve up an interesting paternity test should things hit the rocks later. Fodder for Maury and Jerry to be sure.
Drugs ? expensive yes but if you got the money it is there. And ingenuity is abound. I know people who were eating steaks every day, after all there usually is not a head count at chow time so they were not missed. They were in the laundry room, which is where they cooked the steaks.
Look at the movie Goodfellas, the scene where those guys were in the joint, you think they're kidding ? Hell no. With enough money properly placed you can do almost anything.
However a true story, reported in the news spoke of one Michael Rodent. What the guy did was to get a bunch of tax forms and fill them out with fake W2s and collect up a bunch of refund checks. One of the pseudonyms he used was Michael Rodent, Mickey Mouse of course. This was years ago before they tightened up on government checks. The guy would just cash them at various places and pocketed alot of money.
So eventually the guy gets caught and thrown in prison. Here's the fun part. While locked up he got his hands on more tax forms and kept doing it ! Of course he got caught for that as well. Then, his lawyer told the court "Well you might as well release him then because you are obviously not rehabilitating him".
By this account you can gather that this happened a long time ago, but it was in the news and somewhere around here the clipping of the article still exists.
Actually many years ago the place my Mother worked made a mistake and issued her a W2 that was obviously the entire payroll for her department, it said she made $323,000 some odd dollars. Of course my sociopathic wheels started turning and I thought to myself, hey, just file your taxes. But then I did the math and the witholding was not enough, she would have owed. Oh well.
Anyway, one can only wonder what the birds were bringing in, they didn't mention it. But jokingly if they catch someone with drugs or something the story, jokingly is "A little birdie brought it to my window". I guess in the case in that video they would be telling the truth.
