Great link! They caught the inmates who put $1000 directly into their own accounts. If they caught the smarter people, it wasn't mentioned...



Well, they caught someone. Possibly the actual culprits, but maybe not. Outside of prison, there are mules who agree to, under pressure or otherwise, receive stolen funds, knowing (probably) that they'll be caught. These are "lifestyle" criminals and addicts for whom being in prison is just a fact of life, or people who have found themselves in debt to e.g. organized crime.
