My college friend is in jail
So I know this girl from school, Alexis, and most of the time she's kind of a bitch. She's 25, behind on her credits, a complete social cretin, and pretty damn ugly to boot.

But now, I can add criminal to that list. She was arrested yesterday for defrauding buyers on Ebay for more than 10,000 dollars worth of products that she never owned (Electronics, Musical Instruments, Theme Park tickets.) I first heard about via phone call from my girlfriend, and later saw it on the news.
Anyway, it's kind of a shocker to have someone you talk to nearly every day all of a sudden have their biggest affront to the law suddenly revealed. If convicted, she could see up to four years in prison. In a way, I sort of feel sorry for her. Her career is ruined, the college is likely to expel her, she's doing jail time, and she's lost all her friend's trust.
Anyway, a link for the article.
Any thoughts or similar stories? And how do people think they could get away with something like this?
