His ex wife is the best though...

You "liberate" some paper from the office so that you can print something out at home.

I know it's more customarily used for tattling.

But it's fun to say something like "I snitched it from my Mom's purse..."

A guy I went to high school with committed FRAUD and stole more then 3 million dollars on a paper deal with his brother.

The payment for fraud for him was a year and a half in Prison, cause he screwed up the original deal with was a year.

He was a stock broker


But if he had used a gun and stole $100 from the liquor store , his crime is worth 5 to 10 years.

Fraud is an elegant crime and thus deserves so much less time in jail

Remember when the banks all committed fraud on All americans in 2008, well I have not seen anybody go to jail yet, such an elegant crime.
