Cassidy, I felt the same way. Went to my bank online to check things and my password won't work! On top of that news, I may fret!

If you ask me, 20 years is nothing for the crimes he's allegedly committed. Hopefully, he'll get 20 years in NJ and 20 years in NY. I'm happy to report that I haven't shopped in any of the stores expect 7-11 and I was a kid when I shopped at that one.

I think he's a real danger to society and hopefully he won't be able to keep up with technology while incarcerated, so if a day does come where he's released, he won't be able to re-offend.

I read this early this morn before I left. I thought, heck! Is that where our money went in Dec.? Closed acct. and again got wiped out this spring.

I am glad he was caught.

No telling how many others out there who have this information at their disposal. Let's hope one of them doesn't apply for job of Health Care czar before they're found to be dishonest.
