D.C. barbershop owner pleads guilty in $20 million ID fraud operation
WASHINGTON EXAMINER
[SNIP: There should be additional charges for wearing that outfit in public.]
The owner of a D.C. barbershop pleaded guilty to a $20 million identity theft and tax fraud scheme that stole personal information from nursing home patients, dead people and victims who were duped into believing they were getting “Obama Stimulus Money.”
The massive scam involved more than 100 participants, including postal workers and bank tellers, who schemed to file more than 7,000 fake tax returns seeking to rip off $20 million over six years.
Prosecutors say the primary organizer and leader was 42-year-old Kevin Brown, of Capitol Heights, the owner of the Classic Kutz hair salon and barber shop in Southeast Washington.
Brown pleaded guilty late Friday to conspiracy to defraud the government, making false tax refund claims and identity theft. Brown faces a sentence of up to 14 years and a fine of up to $175,000, authorities said.

I’m guessing he voted for Obama. Bonus points for multiple votes.

14 years is no deterrent to raking in millions especially since he’ll get out after 7 for good behavior. I wish a politician had the balls to introduce a bill to triple all existing penalties if you steal from ‘the people, the poor, the children, the disabled and minorites.’ Watch Democrats and blacks squeal the loudest.

He ran his business out of Anacostia, which is no surpise, considering.
From his site: “Born and raised in the Nation’s Capital, Kevin is an Innovative, Trendsetting Visionary.”
I’ll say.

I say we hire a lawyer and file a class action lawsuit against him and his family.
$175,000 and jailtime just don’t cut it for me.

Of course it was fake. Anyone who receives Obama Bucks doesn’t file a legitimate return.

Just when you think humanity has reached absolute rock bottom, they break out the pick axes and start digging in the sub-basement.

He’s so ambitious I wonder if he has an assistant named Pinky.
“What are we doing tonight, Brain?”
“Same as always, Pinky. Take over the world.”
