Personally, I don't think the victims will get all their money back. Don't get me wrong, it would be great if they do, but I won't bet on it. Plus, they can convict a handful of scammers, but there will be others to take their place. There are plenty of unwitting victims waiting to be had, and plenty who are willing to do it. Sad, but true.

Dropping 51 charges against Bulgin. Good, they're going for the gusto.

Of course I don't know her, but she sounded like someone with a shady past, especially with that college fiasco. Then she gets snip y in the scheme of things with this lottery scamming operation. Don't think she'll be getting away with this, though her mindset is I beat the Feds before and will do it again. Not this time sweetheart.

There will continue to be Edna's for years to come. People are fooled by money hucksters all the time and will continue to do so. The old adage about a fool and money soon parting will never fail. I personally like the one that says, The lottery is the art of extracting money from another persons pocket without resorting to violence .
