So he was a victim of scammers and a victim of his own greed and stupidity. Nine years does seem a bit harsh though!

Its frightening to think if they can make that much out of 1 victim, we will need to increase our workloads!

Bait harder guys and gals.

Nine years does seem harsh, but if I were one of the people facing lay-off because he gave the Lads 1/4 of the county's yearly budget, I wouldn't mind seeing a little hard labor thrown in to boot.

I wonder how many times our baiting has prevented such things?

"State police said Katona authorized wire transfers totaling $186,500 last summer to bank accounts in Taiwan and England linked to a notorious Nigerian scam. One transaction, for $35,000, didn't go through because of an erroneous routing code."

That happens ALL the time with Chipmunk! hehehe!

Quote:
Katona, who served as county treasurer from 1993 until the board removed him in 2006.


Quote:
Katona was convicted in 1998 on a charge of uttering and publishing false documents related to his former private tax business.


If he was convicted 5 years after taking up office as county treasurer, why did they not fire him at that time, why would they let a convicted fraudster carry on running the counties financial affairs for another 8 years Confused Shocked

Even more frightening is that a supposedly financially savvy official would ever fall for a lad scam in the first place.

Nine years is a bit of a silly punishment, why not make him work off the debt? Instead they're going to be paying to keep him in jail Rolling Eyes

One good thing is that because of his position, the scam will get publicised and may save some victims.
