Witness Protection Program

[yvr girl]

It's easy enough to move someone to a new location, get them a home etc. But how do they provide a new job without raising suspicions?

1. Good question

I bet they give them an apptitude test. :hi:

[yvr girl]

2. It's more than just that

Gov't: Excuse me ABC company, we'd like you to give Jane Smith a job

ABC Company: Sure, no problem. I won't even ask why.

(huh?)

3. Pretty much, I would imagine...I mean who wants to get on the bad

side of the government? :hi:

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. "Do you have a resume?"

"No, but I have ten FBI agents with me who will ensure that you never get a bank loan again and that you, your family, and your company gets audited every year if you don't give me the job."

4. Is there something you shouldn't be telling us about?

:hi:

[yvr girl]

6. I didn't see anything

I didn't hear anything


HONEST!

8. Those with college degrees are given credit for a degree from another

institution. I think there's one college in Ohio that is commonly used.

I'm guessing they do something similar with employers. (Fake work history, etc...)

9. A whole work history is made up for them

with references that lead back to Federal sources. Of course, the whole idea of WP is to stay low-profile, so I imagine the types of jobs to which its participants apply are not the most rigorous at background checking. :shrug:

10. they are provided w. shitty jobs

this is one of the criticisms of the program & one of the reasons that witnesses drop out

you can't really fake a background for a "real" job v. well so you end up managing aisle 9
