"prescription medicine"? Yeah, right. Dave G. is absolutely correct. You don't get "intervention" for prescription meds because (as your wife put it) your knee's been bothering you. You don't rip off a grieving family because you have bum knee and want to visit relatives.
Why is it liars and scammers and thieves are so sorry only AFTER they get caught?
Why do they suddenly stop and admit their wrong-doing & develop a conscience only AFTER they get busted?
Why do they gush sorrow and guilt and repentance AFTER they're called out and exposed for what they are?
Cause they really wouldn't give a rat's fuzzy butt if they hadn't been busted, that's why.
If the Wise duo hadn't been so thoroughly and completely busted right here, right now, they'd still be holding tight to contrived stories, falsifying documents and maybe even trying to rip other innocents off down the road.
You and your wife/accomplice didn't give a moment's thought to "getting help" as you were contemplating stealing Maggie's money, did you?
Your accomplice/wife didn't waver one time when she was falsifying documents to and lying her butt off to cover the theft you BOTH committed.
It obviously never even occured to you that stealing Maggies & the girls money was wrong - UNTIL you got busted.
You both thought you were just too smart to get caught.
I see you're still viewing this thread Jeff - to hell with your "classes" and your knee. I frankly don't give a rat's fuzzy butt about your problems or your "help". Turning your collection over to Dave G. ain't going to make anything right, so don't even begin to think it will. YOU OWE IT - nothing more, nothing less. Don't try to spin it into anything valiant or honorable on your part.
I do feel sorry for your children since this is the example you both set, but I feel sorrier for the children you STOLE from.
