    I can understand why he did this. Greed. Yep, Its ok for Government employees to steal from the Government. But it is not for a private citizen to steal from the government.

    It boils down to one word “Competition” the Government hates competition. Think about it, the banks, money, identity.

    This is one of the flaws of “Direct Deposit”.That is the only way he could have gotten away with this for so long.
