I’ve been the victim of Identity Theft. I just cannot explain the extent of the extreme damage this causes mentally, emotionally, physically, and much more. It has taken me years to deal with this and it will never fully be resolved. Once your information has been leaked to the dark web (as T-mobile once did to me) you will always be a potential victim. EDIT: It cannot only be about losing your “bag”. It’s also about using your computer and your iPhones.

Be consoled: in Europe she`d have gotten a suspended verdict, because she would be at her first known offence, and in UK pretty similar plus a handshake. So, the four years, (did she execute the whole sentence or she got out after 10 months for good conduct?) The only redoubt that still resist are the US. For how long though? As for her victims, well, everybody feels sorry, the con woman included, don`t they?

Disgusting tad extreme she ain't no murderror

[@lkm3s]

I'm so pleased she was able to move on to be productive in society. Had her parents been treated like the non-violent criminals they were, they should have been given sentences outside of prison, including probation, community service, and perhaps weekends in jail which the parents could each go every other week to keep the girls stability intact. Children must be considered in these scenarios, and alternatives to prison for non violent offenders will always be more productive than prison, and if not, they go to prison for not complying.

Everybody has hard knocks, doesn't mean they become a criminal. YOU choose that. This justice system isn't for the victims. It gives to the criminals A New Life, Free College Education, Fresh Start. I see hardly any true penance time for what she did of course she's not feeling guilty at all. The victim is left in the dust mentally, emotionally. Destroyed as well financially etc & this isn't just regarding identity theft it's all the other things I've seen regarding this country. It just blows me away what people get away with in this country with their crimes. People say America's horrible, puts people away for life. Well at one time it was a way to put the fear of going to prison for a long time into the criminal. However, we won't be as well, we're now woke as you & we're doing the same thing you guys are.😢

[@montananerd8244]

If a person sees that the police are continually corrupt, I would say that their attitude toward the police is very healthy. This whole program is just huge institutions blaming their laziness and stupidity on this woman's brilliance - she stole because everyone made it easy. She's clearly a bad person, but I would say the police were even worse when arresting her mother as harassment, even the tellers' continual stupidity seems worse, as they did not inform the public that they would fail to use common sense or follow privacy regulations put in place to prevent this. Routine, intentional incompetence needs to be criminalized.
