I hope she doesn't wake up in a cold sweat later when the impact of this all returns to her. I hope she does. Who knows though. Maybe she'll have the last laugh when the pension is raided in 15 years and her $8k is far more than anyone else gets from it.

Which of course ignores the fact it's still a fraudulent return since his identity was stolen.

Noctone posted:When I worked at a grocer in Nebraska we were always told we had to ID anyone who touched or talked about the alcohol being bought. Always was curious if that was actually the law or just a CYA type of thing. The law doesn't say you have to ID all members of the party around here, but we've also decided it's cool to hold the cashier liable should the ID'd actual purchaser provide alcohol to minors, so you pretty much have a duty to do all these things to CYA. BWM: having to be an expert on every state's ID and figure out who the alcohol is really for at risk of huge personal liability while performing for your employer and making $10.50/hr

Krispy Kareem posted:There's always a chance most of it is medical. But you have to have some pretty spectacular bad luck plus bad decision making for that to happen. aw poo poo I've never been special before: Gallbladder cost after insurance (+ ultrasound + HIDA scan + office visits) $14K - sticker for surgery alone was $30k not counting anesthesiologist Colonoscopy cost after insurance (+ office visits) $8k - sticker for scope alone was $15k not counting anesthesiologist ER kidney stone after insurance $5k hip surgery with overnight stay - sticker price $33k - thank god I didn't have to pay for this 2 MRIs, 3 X-Rays, 1 steroid injection, physical therapy since October of last year, psychotherapy, sundry prescriptions - $$$thousands$$$ thank god I didn't have to pay for this I bet somebody could get there with one emergency appendectomy without even trying, though. I know they could get there if they had two infusions of Remicade and a colonoscopy in the same month if their insurance didn't correctly verify benefits to the hospital and they proceeded with treatment, which happens shockingly often. If their insurance is particularly slow to process claims, I bet they could get that third induction dose in and be a cool $60k in the hole before they knew what hit them. One infusion dose ran at least $20k at my hospital. Now if they have relapsed or refractory Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which to be fair might pass the spectacularly bad luck bar, they could squeeze in four doses before the average insurance company can get around to denying a claim, and be at least $80k in the hole just on rituximab, not to mention their doctor visits, scans, and any other meds or treatment they may need.

Pompous Rhombus posted:Ouch. A friend of mine had his gallbladder out, I think he said it cost him a similar amount. This was pre-AHCA and he didn't have any insurance. I don't know about your friend, but mine was a bog standard, planned ahead-of-time laparoscopic outpatient surgery where I went home only a couple hours after. Any complication not only adds to your recovery time but also the financial cost. It might literally be hell. I completely understand why someone would make stupid decisions with that kind of debt hanging over them. I made 34k a year at the time. It is a miserable loving existence that makes you want to die, and it's not even uncommon.

SquirrelFace posted:I'm 99% sure they named it so similarly on purpose to confuse people about who's responsible when they lose their healthcare. Yup. I see more and more GPs charging similar interest rates for payment plans. I once saw an endocrinologist/internal med doc who required all patients to sign a contract acknowledging that any unpaid balances were subject to 6% interest. Dedicated urgent care clinics will do this too and they don't play when it comes to collections, they will sue very quickly. I got a letter from a lawyer the same month I got a bill from one urgent care clinic in town.

Ashcans posted:It wasn't one person burning the whole thing down. What happened is that one person dumped a ton of currency, and that flood began to fill up all the available orders, dropping the trading price - the first person kept on selling, so the price kept on dropping. They sold from $317 down to $224, so they only lost any money if they had bought up some of their share at higher than $224, but the original trigger stopped selling at $224, they didn't drive it all the way to the floor. So they set up macros to panic sell low and crashed their own currency. The real comedy here is they're the people who think they don't need any consumer protections. Unrelated: been thinking about starting a financial advice firm, just need capital. Who wants to venture some?

therobit posted:Since non-celiac gluten sensitivity is made up bullshit it is probably not how it works. Non celiac enteropathy is very much a thing, however. A lot of people with NCE or celiac will refer to it as an allergy for simplicity's sake or when unsure of literacy, rather than get into the details of "well I had this biopsy and blah blah blah," because it's tiresome and private. In general: don't worry about what someone else is eating unless you are feeding them or they are your child. Someone in your office going on and on about their medical problems? End the conversation. This isn't hard.

Hot Dog Day #91 posted:No. They're in default of the lease by not paying each month. The consideration is paying rent. Failing to pay rent doesn't void the lease, but they could be evicted. That makes sense. What about the letter they say they got from the city saying they were taking over the property? Couldn't they have independently verified with the city at that time if they were concerned it was some kind of scam, especially when their landlord stopped cashing their checks (assuming they continued to set that money aside every month)?

ate all the Oreos posted:lol "pay a vendor" this guy's totally a drug dealer Pretty sure I'd rather have a regular drug dealer who can pay two years' rent up front than someone selling Chinese research chemicals whose "income is bitcoin-based" any day. Someone with that kind of money probably has people skills for starters, isn't obviously using and dealing out of his place, probably has a nest egg, and his income stream won't suddenly crash or split in half, not to mention it's actually accepted everywhere. But really it's based on the fact that big time dealers wear deodorant, if I'm being perfectly honest.
