Sorry, I don’t buy it. Too many people would have to be in on it, and I think way too many mid to low level public servants simply are too decent to do so.
And here I thought I had a low opinion of humanity!

...such as friends, relatives, business associates, acquaintances that live outside of town and in some cases out of state.
Sheesh, I can't believe there are people who actually believe this was all a hoax.......
I said the same thing. Then I started to look into it. I had the same questions. Then when you hear the state troopers starting to ask really good questions and you start to hear about the real estate deals....not too shabby.
These incentives include real estate transactions, whereby valuable homes were deeded to Newtown’s three Selectmen and to other participants for the sale price of $0 dollars on 25 December 2009, which may be the only real estate transactions on Christmas in the nation day, where they constituted very special and high-value-at-no-cost “Christmas presents”. The “survivors” have already raked in $27 million in donations to split. And now we have a new report that 200 Connecticut State Police are going to be rewarded for essentially “doing nothing”.
This information is so extraordinary that, as a journalist for Veterans Today, I have written to Newtown’s Selectmen, Patricia Llorda, William F.L. Rogers and James Gaston, Sr., to either confirm or deny that they were among the recipients of these extraordinary gifts. I am awaiting their replies. And, for the rest, in their eagerness to cash in on the hoax, they seem to have posted a United Way donation request 3 days early.
