I'm just speechless

Last December 7th, I posted about the mastermind of a local car dealership scam. This person duped many people into buying worthless warranties on their vehicles, and also forged their finance agreements so that the amount they thought they owed on their vehicles was different than the amount he reported to the finance companies. Most of the car buyers are now facing threats of repossession from the finance companies.

Back then, I posted how this mastermind fooled the court into letting him leave the country to visit his "ailing" mother. He hasn't returned to face trial and is reportedly living large in his home country of Lebanon.

So today, his second in command (who is currently in jail facing more than 60 charges of fraud related to the same scam) also approached the judge to say that his father is sick, and he wanted permission to leave the country to visit him.

It's obvious what the judge would say, having been fooled before. He said "Fine, go visit your dad. Just be back by May 16th".

I guess you'll be seeing part 3 of this continuing saga come mid-May.
