  2. A lass from #Stockport #NW #England got 18 months #prison for #defrauding *at least 55* customers of #Lookers #Skoda dealership by stealing their bank account details.

    Certainly a premeditated #crime, but not the smartest (she even used her own personal bank account, and appears to have used a customers account to get credit for her *own* garage bill (and then didn't pay the other instalments) so was easily detected

  8. Texas AG Ken Paxton makes deal to avoid felony securities trial

    #Texas #Attorney #General Ken Paxton (R), a conservative firebrand acquitted last year in a historic impeachment trial, has reached an agreement with prosecutors to avoid trial on long-standing state felony #securities #fraud charges.

    #Paxton was charged nearly a decade ago, accused of #defrauding investors at a Dallas-area tech company by not disclosing that he was paid by the company to recruit them.

    The case has been delayed for years by pretrial disputes over the trial’s location and special prosecutors’ fees.

    
Under the agreement reached in Harris County district court on Tuesday, prosecutors would #dismiss #felony charges against Paxton if he successfully completes community #service and advanced legal education #classes and pays restitution of about $300,000.

    He had previously pleaded not guilty.
    
Paxton, 61, did not have to formally enter a plea or testify Tuesday.

    (He also declined to testify during his impeachment trial.)

    He had faced up to 99 years in prison if convicted, as well as disqualification from holding state office.

  9. #Santos

    It's very much NOT the #Drag part (although very hypocritical)
    It very much IS the #Lying, the #Fraud, the #Defrauding a veteran...
    that makes him #UNQUALIFIED [to put it mildly] to be a politician.

  10. Dr. Li-Meng Yan was a fake whistleblower for the "#Bioweapon" myth, cultivated by Steve Bannon and Miles Guo in 2020.

    Her #disinformation campaign was one of the most successful media #manipulations shaping public discourse on COVID in 2020, rippled through to today, and assisted her benefactors in #defrauding audiences to the tune of a billion dollars.

  11. Looks like Fanni Willis is not playing. I just saw her interview & she said she doesn’t care about anyone’s celebrity or political status. No Presidential pardon can save 45. Will he be the first indictment after 1/6 along with Rudi? Only time will tell. #FaniWillis #rackerteering #conspiracy #trump #biglie #blackmastodon #blackwomaninpower #politics #grandjury #smokinggun #evidence #CriminalProbe #georgia #prison #JusticeOverdue #defrauding
