Conducting Funny Business

The plaintiff says the defendant is her boyfriend’s buddy, who was in jail and asked her to cash his stimulus check. She said she would do it for $250, but then he claimed it was cashed illegally. She’s suing for the money the back deducted from her account. The defendant says the plaintiff stole his check and he’s countersuing her.

Why didn't the defendant ask around the prison to see how other inmates were accessing their stimulus? My husband is now the mailman at the Correctional Centre (Its for those serving 2 years less a day) here in our province where we live in Canada, and he has been assisting inmates in accessing settlement monies they may have coming from various entities. Families can contact him to devise a way for the money to go into accounts, signatures to be provided etc. Having said that, girl/plaintiff had quite the money making scheme going on for herself!! Unfortunately the doctrine of 'Clean Hands' doesn't apply here, given she wasn't doing anything illegal, guess thats the free enterprise system for you!

[@scotthewitt258]

Apparently in jails & prisons in the U.S., the facility takes 75% of the check to help offset the cost of feeding/housing the inmate. That is why inmates get people outside to receive and cash the checks. That came out in a very similar case Judge Judy heard.
