Extreme couponers were sent to prison in $31.8 million fraud scheme

Talens didn't use the fraudulent coupons for herself. The FBI said she sold them to subscribers that found her on social media and communicated with them using an encrypted messaging app. Talens was paid more than $400,000 in digital currencies such as bitcoin and sometimes "exchanged coupons for stolen rolls of the special paper stores use to print out coupons," the agency said.

I don't think that is the same person, or at least not the same crime. This is definitely about counterfeit coupons according to this:

In a separate scheme, from approximately November 2015 through February 2020, Lori Ann Talens defrauded Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Lori Ann Talens applied for benefits for each of these programs and failed to disclose either her husband Pacifico’s legitimate employment income, or their own illegitimate counterfeit coupon income. Had she disclosed this income, the Talens would not have been eligible for these benefits. The total loss to Medicaid and SNAP was approximately $43,000.

This right here will get you hard time.  The coupon thing makes for a nice headline.

I doubt they would've let the 400K coupon crime just slide if they hadn't had a 40K SNAP fraud scheme of just not reporting income, but that's just me. Click bait it is. lol

You screw medicaid/care over they will come after you and your life and destroy you.  It's a little vague if what they did was really illegal until they didn't report the income on it, and claimed govt. benefits.  Same thing that brings down a lot of dealers.  

If they reported their biz income there's a really good chance the feds just said who cares and let the vendors sue them in civil for damages.  You don't report, AND you start pulling benefits not intended for you.  Later.

Not really a crime story but a 98-year-old man died of COVID, his family gave his body to a company to use for medical research, that company sold the body to a company supposedly use in a medical class. Instead, the second company rented a hotel ballroom, sold tickets for $500, and dissected his body while people were invited to examine and touch it.

I feel like everyone that paid to attend that should be put on some kind of watch list.

I had to be in close proximity to some bodies in a morgue and to some human soup as part of my job at one point and it was creepy. Paying to be present for an autopsy is just…ugh.

 
not exactly "funny" ha-ha.

more of a silence of the lambs it puts the lotion in the basket house of horrors vibe.

I went on a blind date man many years ago. Met this super cute girl at a bar and we chatted for hours over a few beers. Was digging her. She then dropped, after a few hours of not mentioning it, that she was in school studying to become a mortician. 

I couldn't continue. That was just too close to dead bodies for me.

You would have loved the 1800's mummy fads. Go to a party, watch one get unwrapped, then grind up whatever is left of the body into a powder, and either snort it or mix it in your drink. For the health benefits, of course.

Yeah, I think you just have to be different to do some of those jobs. I was talking with the guy who ran the morgue and he said you just have to get used to it. I was there for 3 days for work and I don’t know how you ever get used to the cries of anguish and the wailing from people identifying bodies of loved ones.

Haha, speaking of mummies, used to date a girl in mortuary school. She was fun, a little weird. Took her on a date to the King Tut exhibition when it was on tour. She flipped out and totally geeked over the liver jar and the rest of the mummy-making accoutrements. 

Ended up she aced every single exam and test in her first year of mortuary school but they kicked her out. Mostly because she dyed her hair non-traditional colors, which bumped up on the conservative nature of the profession, I guess they don't think some family in mourning wants to deal with a girl in pink hair. Also because she had a slight medical disability and they wouldn't make accommodations... if she couldn't lift & carry a body then she can't do the job. 

 
As investigators reviewed surveillance video, they found Towers at 3:10 a.m. punching and headbutting TV screens. The complaint states he was also seen taking off his clothes and masturbating; taking his clothes off an hour later, then getting dressed and throwing a chair; approaching TSA employees before officers arrived; and throwing a stanchion at TSA employees.

Poor Georgia peach marries well, cheats and has baby with a Rockefeller, moves to Nawlins, where she turns tricks and runs escort service, trades up for Romanian used car shyster who branched into high interest loans for bad credit peeps, they move to Houston, she buys her way into society, her sister's layabout-but-virile son comes to stay after a jail stint, she pays to get his ears flattened, his face sanded, and gets him circumcised (dood, wtf). They immediately start canoodling. Romanian husband kicks out nephew, heads for Miami, wife follows with kids. Romanian ends up stabbed and dead. Nephew flew into town before murder, flew out after. Everyone thinks she did it, she tells everyone husband was gay anyway. She and nephew gets charged with murder, they get acquitted, people love them. She takes over murdered husband's business, does darn well, she and nephew break up, she marries again, new husband likes the strip clubs, she burns one down. New husband might be cheating, so she hires some bootleggers from GA to throw him off the roof. He survives, remembers nothing after college.  She ages, cuts her kids out of their trusts, develops pill addiction, and only 50 people show up for funeral. One was the nephew, who made and lost a fortune, and who died at 68, and the coroner pointed out he had a penile implant.

The End.

:standing ovation:

 
I'm pretty sure variations of this one have been tried for hundreds or thousands of years.

Professor Giovanni Miniello, 68, from the southern Italian city of Bari, told several women that his penis, which he referred to as a "magic flute," had healing powers, per the Italian newspaper Libero Quotidiano. The paper reported that Miniello said that sex with him could "save" his patients from cervical cancer — which can be caused by an HPV infection.

On camera, The Times reported, he referred to his penis as "Padre Pio" – a 20th-century friar known for his healing abilities.

Padre Pio :lmao:
