A county auditor was ordered to pay $80k to a town after their error sent the funds to fraudsters. I don't recall ever seeing an order like this before.

Hello NH. When you elect a #Republican politician, you get crap like this.
#Restrictive NH #voting laws costs the State money, create confusion, #target #married #women and accomplish nothing, as there's never been a case where a non-citizen has voted in the State.
There have been a number of #vote #Fraud cases, and the majority of those? Committed by Republicans. Of course.
GET TO THE POLLS. VOTE THE EXTREMISTS OUT.
In a first for Japan, the Osaka prefectural government will ban people 65 and older from using ATMs while speaking on mobile phones to try to prevent "special fraud" schemes that frequently target older people. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/24/japan/osaka-elderly-atm-phone-use-ban/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #osaka #hirofumiyoshimura #fraud #atm #elderly #banks
@Barbramon1 @ned not only that, there was a staggering amount of fraud with the #PPP loan program, much of it originating from a tiny handful of community banks that also happened to be incredibly crypto friendly...
The best estimates I've seen are that 10-20% of the PPP loans were outright fraud and 8-14% of all covid relief money ended up in the cryptocurrency market. That's hundreds of billions of dollars (at a minimum).

I lost $1400 USD from my bank account due to check fraud. Because it was by check and not credit card, I may not be able to get my money back.
Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck
What was the solution? Freeze the account WITH MY GODDAMN MONEY IN IT, so I can't access my pay. Yes, they opened an investigation, too. It only took an hour to get my money out of the account.

Easy win for the CFPB over a man who ran a scammy credit-repair business. But nothing is easy these days for the administrative state. Given Jarkesy, is defendant entitled to a jury trial after the CFPB won a default judgment against his business entity?

I got one of those calls from a person with an accent so heavy I could barely understand him.
He wanted to confirm whether I did or did not apply for a credit card. I have not.
He used my name, but not my legal name. He didn't ask me to confirm any personal information except whether I lived in TX or if I still live in NV. Surprisingly, he didn't ask for SSN or DOB.
I have no credit & consequently can't get new credit.
I wish I could be there when they try to borrow on my name
