[citation][nom]STravis[/nom]To those asking about the $5K - there's a limit below which the FBI won't waste their time (not sure if it's 5k or 2k) but obviously this guy was above it.[/citation]

The general rule of thumb is the FBI won't get involved unless it is OVER $50k, at least in fraud cases, from what the FBI told me at the time (almost 10 yrs ago). I was a "near-victim" of a fraud attempt once and the total was $5,000 and they wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole, same with the local and state authorities and the CIA. In my case, I got lucky and the bank got the $$$ back just in time. Go figure!

As far as misdemeanor and felony goes, if the dude nabbed more than $1,000 it is almost guaranteed to be a felony with potential prisonment. There may be exceptions in some states, as there are some weird laws out there, federal included.

no one asks the system

it is those useless judges, lawyers and FBI agents who are going to make a living on those geniuses who are smart enough to write such programs.

Stealing from people is bad. But banks who rob you 365 days a year don't put a penny into improving their systems.

Such case as this one improves banking system. An evolution happens. They should not sentence him, really. He is the reason they are fed and paid. He is the reason, we are where we are now.

Thanks to bad guys who make us safer.

@regulas

don't forget terrorists, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Bird flu, Swine Flu, Cockroach flu (next?).

Iraq's oil is stolen, 90% of Afghans now grow plants for Heroin, Iran is next.

Osama bin Laden probably a hoax too - they created him to have a "right" to invade anything in the middle east. Samolian pirates are probably paid to do the piracy. Soon the US will invade east Afrika.

ZOG is watching you.
