Poverty in the USA is a scandal
#33
RE: Poverty in the USA is a scandal
Here we HAVE had a few professional welfare cheats,who we caught. There are probably a few uncaught. Most welfare cheats are opportunistic and small potatoes,not even worth prosecuting. (the minimum amount for prosecution used to be $1500,probably gone up)

Ironically; the biggest source [in terms of money] is INTERNAL fraud. On average, we would hear of one or two a year,often amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars.In my office, a section manager was caught having stolen over $100k. (that they could find)

In the main city office there was a notorious husband and wife team who stole for years before they were caught. He went to prison for a couple of years, she pleaded ignorance and got off.


Context:at that time there were I think 27 regional offices in our state,each one spent hundreds of millions of dollars a year. I alone spent tens of millions. The system is totally computerised with only computer generated random manual checks. It's idiot simple to set up dummy recipient accounts. I once worked out how to rip off a few million,but decided against it as I really didn't want to live in Argentina. Tiger

It may be only a matter of time before smart hacker accesses a major treasury account and rips off millions.
