financial condition or identity, and defrauding an innkeeper.
This next story of theft and fraud may be the most brazen yet. Most people around the world love Facebook. They love communicating with distant friends and family. People can stay abreast of all the latest gossip in their friend’s lives. Oftentimes, folks even share their special moments and milestones in their lives with the entire world to see. How many times have you posted about your vacation or that significant moment in your life on social media? Most people partake in this guilty pleasure.
Social media is usually harmless, unless you’re up to no good, then you’re actually just helping authorities build their case against you. This is exactly what happened to a couple from New York. They shared their travels, indulgences, and exploits around the world, with the world. The big problem here was their luxuries were afforded to them by credit card and bank fraud.
As we all know, sooner or later, people’s shenanigans tend to catch up with them. To quote the Staten Island District Attorney working this fraud case, “Make no mistake, Amanda is no Cinderella and Clyde is far from Prince Charming.” It appears Bonnie and Clyde, er, scratch that, Amanda and Clyde had a taste for the high life. Courtside seats to NBA finals games, field level seats to NFL games, an excursion to the Dominican Republic, and of course a lavish trip to Walt Disney World for the defrauding duo. The two left their trail of treachery on Facebook.
Like so many folks that get engaged, this couple posted their pictures online. The engagement happened at Walt Disney World. The photos from their trip featured the happy couple in an embrace in front of Cinderella’s Castle. Another showed a Cinderella cake sitting next to a glass slipper with the words “Will You Marry Me?” As we all know, when the clock struck midnight for Cinderella, her magical ride ended. Well, the clock struck midnight for Amanda and Clyde in July of 2013 and struck in a big way.
Amanda, twenty-six years old, and Clyde, twenty-nine years old, were charged with enterprise corruption, identity theft, falsifying business records, criminal possession of stolen property, grand larceny, and grand larceny as a hate crime, among some others. Here’s how it all went down. Amanda worked as a nurse at a physician’s office in Staten Island from 2004 to 2012. During this time she had access to elderly patients' medical records that usually contained sensitive information such as social security numbers and home addresses. Using this information, the two pilfered nearly $700,000 from fifty elderly patients. Amanda would relay the personal and financial information to Clyde, who would contact the financial institutions and do a change of address. He would then also order new debit and credit cards, having them sent to various addresses around New York City.
The couple's exploits on Facebook, along with authorities tracing the stolen bank accounts to the addresses Clyde established, built the case against them. Over sixty charges were filed against the couple, but the case was still pending in July of 2014.
The disastrous Disney drama that was sketched out here is just a sliver of the mania and madness involving the masses, money, and the mouse. Disney has seen it all, from the above-mentioned to numerous others. Unfortunately, these tales aren’t the worst of the worst. Things actually take a more appalling leap, a leap down the slope of faking cancer to raise money. Money people donated thinking it was going to help a dire situation, but instead gets spent at Disney.
Dying for Disney
What could be more sick, twisted and appalling than lying to your friends and loved ones about having cancer? How about pulling the same hellacious ruse with your child. For most people it is unfathomable to fake cancer; it would be even more diabolical to tell people your child has cancer and the little one is going to die, or even
