Russian identity thieves steal Medal of Honor recipients’ names to fleece AAFES
This is an older case, but the information has just come to light.

These goods were shipped to US addresses where unwitting participants (doing fairly common […]
Twitter’s ban of Trump has ACLU concerned
Even a blind chipmunk finds the occasional acorn. Or is it, some actions are so egregious even dyed-in-the-wool ideologues are moved to comment?
