A 26-year-old Chicago man is reportedly facing charges after allegedly scheming with his older brother, who worked as a U.S. postal worker, to steal and sell COVID-19 stimulus checks.
Akeem Kosoko promised his brother Ahmed Kosoko, 35, and other postal workers payment in exchange for stealing the stimulus checks, according to Fox2Now. The checks they were stealing were part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act issued in 2020.
Scott Adams tells a story about how he had to turn to FedEx to submit his original art for DILBERT because people at the local post office would steal them if they were mailed. He also claims that other cartoonists and artists tell similar stories. I’ve quit using the Postal Orifice.
