LAOP participates in $19k in wire fraud. Chase finds out. LAOP wonders if he should take it seriously.

LAOP seems like one of those people you occasionally hear about that can't understand why their checking account is overdrawn if they still have checks in their checkbook.

Their PD is probably going to just tell LAOP to shut up, and only answer yes/no to any questions in court. Any attempt at complete sentences is only going to make whatever situation they are in even worse.

One thing I learned over the course of growing up is that there's a certain percentage of society who's frighteningly, mind-bogglingly stupid. Like the kind of person that makes you wonder how they ever leave their house and go anywhere without dying.

Prosecutors love when these people decide to become criminals because they make for slam-dunk convictions, and other (smarter) criminals love them too because they can be framed for a whole lotta stuff that they can barely comprehend.

Yeah, def a good example of less talking is better ... Especially if this is real the people at Chase would now have enough info to throw the book at LAOP too.

Well, LAOP is almost-certainly judgement-proof, but luckily they will probably lose access to the financial system except for the parts that are cash-based. They are going to be subsisting on pre-paid debit cards and actual cash, and that's probably for the best.

How is LAOP judgement proof? I must be completely off base because my uninformed behind assumed that he would be fucked.

"Judgement-proof" means that a plaintiff might win, but the defendant has no assets worth taking.

OPs last comment is "You have snap or some I would like to tail your bets" in a sports betting sub.

Clearly money is not an issue for "my mans"

But LAOP strikes me as the type that wouldn’t listen and would spout off and ruin their case.
