You are saying they didn't pay any bail? I'm sure they will appear for the hearing, right!

$18 million? Not bad, but a lot less than the Bush-Cheney Iraq scam got for their friends in the "defense" industry.

It doesn't state anywhere in the article that the people involved in this scam were Puerto Rican.

Where in the article does it say that the people who perpetrated this crime were Puerto Rican? The article only states that people in Puerto Rico were victims of identity fraud.

Marge of lower Macungie was a Dutchie who happened to marry a Polish man. Fogel of Fogelsville fame stole thousands from her employer and the mayor of Bath stole thousands from her church and there are a lot more.

A lot of the locals seem to have sticky fingers, especially the women who seem to think their employers' money is their money.
