Washington scammed out of ‘hundreds of millions’ in unemployment benefits (https://nypost.com/2020/05/22/unemployment-scammers-steal-hundreds-of-millions-in-washington/)

The bad news is Nigerian scammers posing as out-of-work residents have bilked Washington state out of “hundreds of millions of dollars” in unemployment benefits, a top official said.

The good news is the commissioner is "so sorry" this happened. :cheers:

No system is perfect. Sometimes hundreds of millions are the cost of getting help to legitimate people quicker.

Is there any oversight in Washington? Any accountability of where the money is going and close scrutiny of the circumstances of each application?? Guessing the answer is 'no' to both

So why the hate against Sharia?

I think it should be reserved for huge ****ups. Petty theft is one thing, I don't care, I understand gangsters; losing "hundreds of millions" of state money is another.

Because it's barbaric. You think God would sanction such behavior?
