These people actually think that they still can claim their ill-gotten booty? Looks like anyone involved in this, especially those that have already pleaded guilty, should now be locked up and held without bail, as this shows that they are ready to "steal" away any assets that remain. Greedy, ego-maniacal thieves to the end!

once you have one of these weasels, it should be required that they suffer a serious change in lifestyle immediately, and for keeps. all jail, no bail, lock 'em all up and hold court in the exercise yard.

there's no such thing as a "hard to get" seat.

This is another example of complete stupidity and how lying and cheating will always catch up to you. In the end there is only honesty.

"When the investigator contacted Catain to confront him about the missing money, Catain checked himself into a hospital, complaining of a stroke," That's too funny. You'd have to know this clown to know that he checked himself into a hospital because it's starting to hit him that he's truly been caught this time, and his days of lying, cheating, and threatening others have come to an end. Can you say anxiety attack? Believe me, as it gradually sinks into to this crook that he's going to have to eat bologna sandwiches like the rest of us, instead of prime rib every night, he's slowly feeling like a cornered rat, which is exactly the case. The biggest question is this...these people have been charged and have pleaded guilty. They have proven that they are not following the court's ruling and are attempting to swindle, on top of the previous thefts, from the courts. Prudence would imply a visit to the greybar hotel should be in order, no?

She acted as though she came clean to the FBI and then tried to hoard more fraud money! Wow, I think the judge should giver her 25 more years for that.

As with lies you will always eventually get caught. That's child rearing 101. I'd be wetting myself to get caught, you have to be an idiot to keep it going!

If I were to ever face the possibility of spending time in a stinking, violent prone federal prison, I'd flee to a foreign country which has no extradition treaty with the USA. I'd rather spend time on a warm sunny beach surrounded by 20 something beautiful young women.
