Well chances are the victims of their latest crimes get first crack of what's left of their assets.. then DrMike will have to get what's left.

Even if they are found guilty, they probably will get house arrest and probation.. kid will have to stay with relatives.. I think would be interesting if DrMike's squad can keep track of them while they are on probation and get them in more trouble if they violate. or they can just skip the country to Philippines. I don't think US likes them very much anymore.

Similar incident I posted... god knows how many pages back, but it was a couple years ago. I was asked to remove the post because the store was going to have their own investigations, but I doubt they're going to do anything anymore, as it's now 2 years later.

Can't remember exactly what it was, but it was something along the lines of this..
Tranny had a big purchase at Plenty in Metrotown. ~$2000.
She tries to pay with ten $200 gift cards.
Cashier asks how she got them, Tranny says she won them at work.
Cashier calls the store owner, and asks if any store has sold $2000 in gift cards.
Cashier asks for I.D. from Tranny.
Tranny drops everything and runs out the store.

Unfortunately stores / companies have pretty short memories when it comes to things like that.

Also I would think gift cards etc would be tied to a database instead of just by relying on a hash on a card? If they just rely on card form of verification, they are really asking for it.

Ummm it isn't Theft, it is Fraud. And it isn't over 5000.

It sounds like it would only be Fraud Under if the number of $5000 is accurate.

Fraud is probably one of the hardest offences to prove, because you ave to prove INTENT. How can prosecutors say for sure that they used the gift cards/credit cards KNOWING it was fake.

Again, nothing it going to happen, especially if they haven't had any previous convictions for Fraud.

All the cases of them scamming people would be easier dealt with in civil court than Criminal, as it is a lot harder to get a conviction under Crim court, than to win a battle in civil court.

Oh and another thing, because they purchased a bunch of different gift cards from different places, even if the total value of the gift cards they have were over 5000, the court may look at each card as a separate offence, so it may be multiple counts of fraud under... Each store would then have to cooperate with police forwarding charges against the couple (by attending court, and giving testimony).

Just because they got arrested, does not mean they are going to be charged and or convicted.

If they did possess fake ids etc, that should be an easy charge approval for uttering forged document/personation.

Oh, did I already mention that probably nothing is going to happen to them?

Well even if nothing else at least they got arrested so next time they will be repeat offenders.

So what's the purpose of altering the magnetic strip on the back of the card? doesn't it make it useless or are they sophisticated enough to alter the information on the card?

they are not repeat offenders unless they are convicted. otherwise there was no proof they did anything wrong in the first place. people get arrested everyday, all the time, without subsequent punishment/convictions. reason being is because of lack of evidence, or they were innocent. just because you are arrested, it doesn't mean you are guilty.
