Wow, a shocker this afternoon.

My work team is small - less than 12 folks. About 4 years ago, just before the pandemic, 3 team members were suddenly not there one day. Just - vanished. With no real explanation.

Well, today we found out why. The state Attorney General has charged the three with financial fraud to benefit family members.

Oh my goodness!!

Once a law firm I worked for was raided by the FBI

vixmom · « **Reply #336 on:** June 01, 2023, 08:12:58 PM »

We were all required to leave all our personal possessions and walk out of the office .

I had a closing that day, with clients coming in to sign

vixmom · « **Reply #338 on:** June 01, 2023, 08:13:55 PM »

Our office was in a large building with a central atrium with tables and chairs

vixmom · « **Reply #339 on:** June 01, 2023, 08:14:52 PM »

With the FBI’s permission, after they looked carefully through my legal papers, I was permitted to conduct the closing in the atrium

Your meal sounds delightful, DR Jane, from start to finish.

It truly was. If this restaurant was local for us we would eat there often,

vixmom · « **Reply #341 on:** June 01, 2023, 08:15:27 PM »

We turned out all the lights in the lobby of our office and told the clients we were having electrical problems

Once the closing was over the FBI inspected the contents of my purse and I was permitted to go home

vixmom · « **Reply #343 on:** June 01, 2023, 08:17:12 PM »

Not long afterward the partners of the firm were put on trial

vixmom · « **Reply #344 on:** June 01, 2023, 08:17:31 PM »

They each spend 5 years in a federal penitentiary

vixmom · « **Reply #345 on:** June 01, 2023, 08:19:18 PM »

They were charged with , and convicted of, bribing police officials, essentially giving kickbacks to those who had the power to assign PBA legal work to law firms

The officials who both demanded and received the kickbacks retired with full benefits

Ron, that sounds like a very exciting shopping trip! Do you still have all those albums?

vixmom · « **Reply #354 on:** June 01, 2023, 08:24:51 PM »

I called Cosori to find out the status of my recall application, only to be told they had no record of receiving it.

vixmom · « **Reply #355 on:** June 01, 2023, 08:25:05 PM »

So I have just resubmitted

vixmom · « **Reply #356 on:** June 01, 2023, 08:25:27 PM »

I’ll call tomorrow to confirm it was received

Why do I feel like we all ate our fill of pizza yesterday?

I had pizza today, which renewed my puzzlement over how you all eat pizza. Please satisfy my curiosity because I truly cannot fathom any other way than picking it up and folding it.

It's kinda hard to fold small, thick crust pizza.
