The M.O. was the same as the last Chinese ghost scam from earlier this summer, where the suspects duped dozens of elderly Asian women to hand over their cash and valuables. In total, the suspects made off with more than $1 million, according to police. In September, three more women were arrested on suspicion of stealing victim's money after telling them there were evil spirits attached to them. One victim alone lost $35,000.

i'm confused

they told the women a story... the women handed over their money... and this is a crime?

EXACTLY HOW is this any different from all the 'reasons' i'm supposed to pay massive taxes to the fedgov?

seriously... i'd like to know
