Justin…you have had several examples of harsh justice when the authorities have been tough in places where maybe they could have shown leniency. I’m not sure this is one of them. The woman informed the US Atty the defendant broke an order and the law breaker was the detained. Case closed. This is a teachable moment for the woman who was fleeced as well as a gut check for the shyster businessman. I really think both of these parties failed to respect the legal ramifications of their actions. Maybe now they will and all in all this harsh lesson may be a positive.
I’d like to say I feel sorry for her but a fool and his money are soon parted. At some point you just have to believe in the law of survival of the fittest. I have never fallen for a scam and I never will fall for a scam because nobody gives you something for nothing. And the greatest way to fall for a scam is to have a greed in your heart, it is the number one ingredient scammers use. Be content with your plot in life always do what is right and never take from others and don’t expect others to give something for nothing..
…she was victimized once. She played herself by going all karan like and going to authorities. Like of course they was going to arrest him, what did she expect. She should have taken the money.
She probably saved herself a lot of grief. Possibly would have found out his legitimate business was another scam and the government would have seized any money received. Had he truly wanted to pay people back. He could have gone to the judge and made arrangements to pay a portion to everyone who got scammed in the first place. Not just a select few. But what do I know. I'm skeptical.
This is another scheme of his because now he's going to say i was going to give you your money back but you got me thrown in jail and now it's all lost
He was never going to send her that money back. He had "set aside" the money. He hadn't paid it back. The court would have a process for him to pay her back. She actually did the right thing. He violated his plea agreement so he was not on the right path.
That's quite unfortunate, the man was just trying to make amends trying to do right. She calls him in then realizes he was being honest now she's mad about the money. Sounds like she shot both herself and him in the foot. Just sad but even though he was trying to do the right thing he knew better than to contact them. Now he might get hit for each letter he sent.
Convict violates judge's order. What's the problem?
Maybe she should have took the money and NOT contacted the us authorities.

For apologizing? That's messed up

Can't fix stupid

Defendant was told not to contact the victim but did anyway. Deserves to go to jail.
She probably saved herself a lot of grief. Possibly would have found out his legitimate business was another scam and the government would have seized any money received.

Did she actually get any money or did she just fall for another story? Sounds like she needs to stay off the internet and phones.
I think of that old aphorism, "Vengeance is best served cold."
Stop talking to cops people never learn
She’s an idiot. Doesn’t think things thru.
Scammers… lower than sh*t on snake's belly 💩 🐍
He needs to stay at club fed,til he finds the Lord GOD!…..

I don’t know WHY all of you folks are criticizing the victim. I sure would want YOU on my jury.
