Even though today's post did happen in Florida I'm afraid I can't say "only in Florida" on this one as there seems to be a nationwide trend of similar events. A Florida inmate is suing Verizon for $72 million for letting him commit identity theft. The man claims that the 90 minutes he was in their store the employees missed several opportunities to catch him in his fraudulent act. Never mind that the man's criminal history dates back to 1985 and consist of 37 convictions,he still wants to blame it on the companies negligent business practices. Fortunately this time the district court is moving to have the case thrown out,but how many times have we all read about this kind of legal action gaining traction? and why don't these repeat offenders ever try to make an honest living?
