This one might make the day for ProfHenryHiggins:

Three arrests. Probe still under way. Emails from alleged scammers quoted by Feds. One refers to cash-gifting prospects as "new blood." Indictment references co-conspirators, meaning other arrests could follow:

StopFraud.gov - Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force (http://www.stopfraud.gov/iso/opa/stopfraud/CT-120502.html)

I have a copy of the indictment on my Blog; I'm not sure how to post it here, but RealSCam is welcome to get it at my Blog and post it here.

Gee, sorta makes ya wonder if all those cash gifting pimps who claim gifting is legal under IRS Tax Code, Title 26, Sections 2501-2504 and 2511 (http://uscode.regstoday.com/26USC_CHAPTER12.aspx). might have just got it a tiny bit wrong.

Well, they're a bloody big bit wrong, apparently.

When it comes to cash gifting, it's apparent time is not necessarily on your side.

How things work in the real world:
