Former Cop Convicted for $1 Million Bogus Check
A Cook County judge has convicted a 38-year-old Chicago woman of attempting to deposit a $1 million bogus check.Just... Speechless. Not only did this woman, one of the "Only Ones" charged with upholding the public trust, violate that trust, she did it in quite possibly the stupidest way possible. Not only did she forge a check against one of the largest amusement companies in America, she then tried to deposit it in the COP FEDERAL UNION. DUH!
And not only was the defendant in Wednesday's bench trial a former Chicago police officer, but prosecutors say she attempted to deposit the bad check in her account at the Chicago Patrolmen's Federal Credit Union.
One million dollars? Who did she think she is?
Sometimes I despair for the human race...
That is all.

Heh. My skepticism and cynicim grows more and more every day.
Shows the quality and intelligence of the police in Chicago, I guess.
Looks like Chicago PD already did away with entrance exams.
She probably read about all the shenanigans going on at that credit union and figured either they wouldn't figure it out . . . . or they'd be inclined to give her a break.
That's weapons grade stupid.
I mean, even if the bank didn't check up on it, did she think they wouldn't notice a million dollar check?
I've given million dollar checks as birthday gifts to nieces and nephews, I've always wondered what would happen if they deposited it.
Luckily they're not that stupid.
As I sometime say at the laser mine, "Hello? Yes, is this the planet with the people who sent some of their number to their Moon? Yes? Oh, good. Please, which way did they go?"
