    This scumbag committed over 1600 crimes and was sentenced to 48 months. That's less than 1 day per theft. How about sentencing this cheap thief to 48 years instead. If he made $1 million, he was making $250,000 per year, tax free. No way 48 months will have an effect on this.

    Keep it up with the stupidity of this plan . The money should be deposited directly into a bank account. That’s how it done in the UK and Nordic countries who pay social benefits.I don’t buy the oh I don’t or can’t open a bank account. Bank of America is making too much money from the state on these ebt cards.
