• Dim Congressman arrested and indicted for fraud and money laundering

    From TomS@21:1/5 to All on Tue Aug 16 20:17:33 2022
    Terrance “T.J.” Cox was arrested by agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigations in Fresno, where he was booked to the Fresno County jail on a U.S. Marshals hold, jail records showed. It was not immediately known if he has an attorney who can
    speak on his behalf. An email message sent to Cox Tuesday was not immediately answered.

    Cox, a Democrat, represented the 21st Congressional District from January 2019 to January 2021. The district is in the agriculture-rich San Joaquin Valley and includes Kings County and portions of Fresno, Kern and Tulare counties.

    Cox, 59, was charged with 15 counts of wire fraud, 11 counts of money laundering, one count of financial institution fraud, and one count of campaign contribution fraud, U.S. Attorney Phillip Talbert said in a statement.

    Talbert said that between 2013 and 2018, Cox allegedly obtained $1.7 million from funds he solicited from clients and loans he got for his companies and then stole by diverting the money to “off-the-book bank accounts.”

    Good.

    If he's guilty, he deserves to be punished.

    You agree that if someone commits a crime, they should be punished,
    right Sunshine?

    Just one 'dim'? You can't do better than that?
