| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 01  | We really have some scumbags in this country. Take a look at this shit. 23 Charged in Sept. 11 Charity Scam 03/22/2002 4:12 AM EST By SAMUEL MAULL NEW YORK (AP) - Twenty-three people have been charged with falsely claiming that a family member died in the Sept. 11 attacks so they could get relief funds from emergency and charitable agencies, prosecutors say. District Attorney Robert Morgenthau said 15 defendants who filed false death certificates received a total of $760,465 based on their bogus claims. He said the other eight were caught before they got any money. "This is a classic case of honey attracting the bears," Morgenthau said Thursday. New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer said the scammers were uncovered through inconsistent and false information included in death certificate applications and other records. Individual defendants received amounts ranging from $1,000 to $272,800 from the American Red Cross, Safe Horizon, the Social Security Administration and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Morgenthau said. In one case, a 32-year-old man from Lansing, Mich., reported that his brother was killed while attending a business meeting at the trade center. Before authorities learned that there was no such brother, the man had received $272,800 in charitable aid. Thirteen suspects are from the New York metropolitan area. The others live in Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Texas, Florida, Michigan, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, and China. The charges against them include grand larceny, insurance fraud, forgery, falsifying business records, and offering false instruments for filing. A Red Cross spokesman in Washington, D.C., said the agency is investigating up to 50 cases of fraud related to Sept. 11. The organization had to act quickly after the tragedy, he said. "You are talking about dealing with grieving families ... so you just had to trust them," said the spokesman, Darren Irby. "And we didn't want them to get bogged down in Red Cross bureaucracy." What a bunch of fucking assholes. I hope these people fry and get prosecuted to the full extent. The should send these people the Afghanistan and let them die their.  NEVER FORGET God Bless The USA. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 02 | Yeah, isn't it a shame that there are people out there who only saw big dollar signs when the towers came tumbling down. But, I must say, it is our own fault. (By our, I mean, society). We teach people that it's OK to deceive and that we should only do what's for "me" and only "me".) Not just American society, but most societies. I studied in college that the Chinese are one of the few societies left in the world that places emphasis on the family or a group instead of the individual. I think this is most of our problem. We need to start playing for the team and not the player. Then, the team would be taken care of as opposed to a couple here and a few there. But, that's just my opinion.

| Psychopath Registered: Nov. 00 | Ikea, as much as I agree with you, it's the human way as much as it is the American way. I'm sure some son of a bitch was selling bogus bubonic plaque ointments by the third day of the Black Death. Never forget, as a species, our first instinct is to go for the jugular, whatever means necessary. Shit-storms are created in my wake!!
