When was the last time I "seen" someone take a $18 dollar purchase and turn it into over 76 grand in cash?

Err, how about - NEVER ??

Unless that "$10 purchase" was for a lottery ticket, of course.

What I have seen is large numbers of thieves, robbers, cheats, liars, frauds and pimps pretend they have taken an $18 dollar purchase and turned it into over 76 grand in cash by fudging the figures and producing doctored income statements
