    Just found this

    I basically spend my day listening to people lie to me, and then figuring out how to prove they're lying

    Not all of my customers lie of course, but a great many do


    This is my life

    I thought you worked at a nuclear plant? Apparently you are a prosecutor?

    My youngest brother works in the fraud department for a very large auto insurance company in Kommieforia. He loves it. No lack of work.....

    I'm in a relatively small state, and we have no shortage of cases...close 1 get assigned 2 more

    Part of my team had a big hand in this case

    Also, in case anyone wonders why their premiums are high...see the link above

    That just sounds like a really smart idea. Hope they knew a loaded truck stops better than an empty one. Either way, 25k lbs would hurt no matter how you slice that pie.

    My brother always talks about the jerks that will hit their brakes on purpose on the 405, get rear ended and hit the chiropractors who is in cahoots with them. Huge on going scam. My brother is good at shutting them down. Some get prosecuted unless they hit the border first.

    So when you catch the F-tards, does it move forward to prosecutors to file a lawsuit?

    Depends on what the claim involves, amount potentially lost, etc etc

    State law here dictates that loss over $2000 is a felony

    It's interesting for sure, but more like putting a puzzle together

    Less adrenaline than being a cop, but less stress too

    Nice! I used to work with Marketing until we switched it back to the TSO's to run the plants (as it should be).

    What Municipality? I'm with Colorado Springs Utilities.

    I agree. Im assuming by TSO, you mean transmission service operator? We call those guys TO's here in Texas.

    Im with Denton Municipal Electric.

    Rumor is from some of my friends up on the North Slope... Big things in the works starting up this coming fall up there. Not much going on now with no ice river roads after the spring thaw "bug out". Twiddling fingers time until then. Ironically it's easier to work up there when it's colder than frozen Musk Ox shit.

    I spent 17 years in San Fernando Valley. Many of the major players in the Aerospace business (many of which have moved out here in CO) decided it was more cost affective to shut down their internal calibration/metrology labs. We hired some of the guys that lost their super high paying aerospace union jobs. Many with 30+ years experience. They couldn't wipe their butt without step by step instruction manual with pics. Bad for them...Good for me....
