The Gin Mills Of Your Mind
At last, a worthwhile use for stolen identities.
Those two solid citizens above, Jocelyn Kirsch and her boyfriend, Edward Anderton, traveled the world on stolen credit cards and identities. Police also found keys to several neighbors' apartments and mailboxes in the couple's apartment, as well as a big ass machine for making ID cards. Wow, now that is true ambition. Enough with this penny ante identity theft jazz, where the felons buy a few appliances and a meal at IHOP. Nah, let's go to Paris.

It warms my heart to see this kind of drive to succeed. Naked greed? I've always said if you're gonna do something, do it big. Imagine if they'd put this cunning and talent to use in legitimate jobs. They'd probably be heads of major corporations by now, in positions where this sort of behavior is expected. Afterward, when they'd run the company into bankruptcy and stripped employees and investors of all profit, Kirsch and Anderton would have a huge severance package and the ID making machine to fall back on.
That's the trouble with some young folks today. They're always in too big a hurry and they want it all right now. If they'd just wait and spread the greed out over a few years and shell companies and Cayman Island accounts, then no one would ever notice. That's the way big business does things, and it's working so far; we still buy what they're selling.
You bought some very pretty things,Jocelyn. The earrings aren't bad either.
I think these guys saw "The Thomas Crown Affair" too many times and just didn't get it. Crown stole from museums and billionaire businessmen and others who were heavily insured and could afford to take the hit. Stealing from the middle class to enrich yourself is beyond pathetic; it smacks of elitism and the worst kind of entitlement. Best to not be a thief at all; but if you must, don't be a bad neighbor and friend as well. Take from rich folks you don't know.
