KevinH Valued Member United States 172 Posts	Posted 01/24/2015 2:00 pm Thought you guys would get a kick out of this. One of our local South Florida newspapers, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, has been running a series of stories on how some criminals take advantage of the Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966 to come to the US, engage in mostly financial crimes and insurance fraud, and high-tail it back to Cuba and live like kings. Without going into the law and these practices, I though you all might be interested that one of these "geniuses" hijacked a federal reserve truck carrying $180,000 worth of nickels! Can you imagine if this had been a truck full of half dollar rolls? Oh, how the CRH crowd would have just had nightmares about that! http://interactive.sun-sentinel.com...ing-america/ Edited by KevinH 01/24/2015 2:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
