Regarding MG and his psycho tax collector buddy

[prodigitalson]

Were they making fake IDs so 18-20 year olds could get into clubs or so under 18 year olds could pretend they were over 18 at the hotel? Or were they engaged in ID theft for the traditional credit card fraud? Or some combination of those thing?

1. Sure sounds like this was a CYA operation

cover your ass

3. Not sure what you're saying?

You cannot magically make people into non-minors simply by making them a fake ID. All you're doing is putting yourself in more legal jeopardy by doing so. Nobody is THAT stupid.

4. They are that stupid. nt

6. Going back to cover their tracks except they were caught by the camera

Why would a congressman be at Motor Vehicle after houses what it was closed?

7. I have no idea what you're trying to say, sorry (nt)

2. There are so many hotels where people can just walk in and go to a hotel room

that someone else already paid for ... without ever getting asked for ID ... there's many hotels that are like that. And tons of motels. And even the ones that aren't, when you check in you can ask for a second key card, just get a room for two and say your wife or sibling or someone will be along shortly. So no, that seems unlikely.

ID's to get these escorts into clubs though, that's viable. These guys would likely want to take the young ladies out and show them off in public.

And also they could be offering these ID's as a form of payment. Not sure how much sex you'd get for one ID provided, but ... I'd imagine it'd be worth SOMETHING.

9. Good point about the hotels

but unlike most hotel guests, those having speed and booze fueled orgies with underage girls are more likely to get noise complaints, and maybe cops. But that is probably the least likely of their motives.

But I think you are right that clubbing and I think a fake ID is definitely of monetary value.

5. Read a response yesterday about the fake ID's. A few reasons possible but...

"The adult age fake ID's were to quell suspicion & illegalities of trafficking of minors out of State & since there was cash involved."

It all had to appear legit.
But it wasn't.

Other questions asked were same as you stated.

8. I'll look for it

I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't any credit card fraud in their crime spree. Gaetz is rich, don't know about the other guy. But they are both so sleazy, I don't they would be able to resist once it dawned on them that they could.

10. maybe voter fraud?
