Keep the nose clean and don't worry.
She should have robbed a bank.You might want to rethink that.
Average punishment for bank robbery where the money is recovered is 5-7 years in a federal penitentiary, plus a healthy fine and very lengthy parole. Also, contrary to popular belief the average take from bank robberies really isn't all that much. I wouldn't be surprised to learn this AH milked more cash out of these people than this and had already blown every penny.
This sort of crap makes people less likely to help those who rightously need assistance. IMHO, this low-life should've got jail time, too.
