@ CrossBow - somehow your avatar works perfectly with the 'hurry up and wait' going on right now....

It's one of those ones that can have so many meanings.... (but yes, suits perfectly)

Hope you all brought plenty of snacks and booze

Time to break out the scotch...

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

I'll just wait patiently with these here bottles of iced tea vodka and moonshine. Hope I'm not too plastered to hear the results.

Banana bread, anyone?

*scoots closer to morgana*

I have ice cream.

Courtsey Update:

We are waiting on (bank) to give us some information about access times and logon/logoff information so we can challenge him. Hope you all brought plenty of snacks and booze

I'm here with the chips and tomato free salsa. Where's Jester. We're gonna need a good bartender for this show.

In the meantime, I've got a bottle of Berringer Chenin Blanc and still have some Barefoot Sweet Red left in the fridge.

I brought some beer, who wants to drink while watching the fireworks?

[brucetiki]

I, too, will be sitting in for this session. I look forward to the next chapter.

What's the car being burnt got to do with it? Around here, it's unusual if a stolen car ISN'T set on fire!

Its two factors:

1) We got this off the record from the police, but through official channels we keep getting told that they have not yet recovered it.

2) In our experience, this car is sporty, but not so much so that you steal it for a joyride. You don't go through the hassle of circumventing a 5 star alarm for a joyride either. IF this was legitimately stolen (big if), it was taken by professsional car theives to be stripped for parts

An interesting addition; many who attempt to commit fraud burn their cars out thinking it makes it easier and destroys all the evidance. In fact what it does it give us a TON of extra evidance - we can see if it was hotwired or not, how the fire started, and even sometime estimate the size of the last driver...

If it was me, I'd say he's looking at distinct possibility of a severe decrease in his standard of living.

This is a definite. (Bank) will fire him so quickly he'll experience more G's than a fighter jet.

As for Criminal - note sure as yet. Unless we get strong evidance, we're unlikely to press charges for fraud -> this requires 'beyond reasonable doubt'. To decline a claim we only require 'balance of probabilities' which is a much lower standard of proof (I.E criminal requires 95% certainty, civil is like 60%).

Of course when we take all this information (along with the new stuff we're getting from (Bank), such as key card access, workstation internet history etc etc)) and challenge him, if he confesses....
