That jailhouse con artist is pretty ingenious. Got to give the guy his props. Still, I'd love to see Law Enforcement go after Big Businesses that con employees/consumers.
My best friend’s boyfriend turned my mileage back I remember. I was in trouble with the dad for coming home too late. Daddy had looked at my mileage I was to only go about10 miles down the road to my friend’s house. He said no problem. Took him about 15 minutes. But this was in the late 70’s.😂😂😂😂 I told my dad that years later. He didn’t think it was funny.

In the late 60's I paid $10 to a local car dealer to roll back the odometer of a car I was selling. They did it without hesitation and in a friendly manner.
He is a con artist but tell me which Potus wasn't or isn't? Kennedy? LOL. I'd say Ron Paul could have been the first honorable man in office ever but of course that wasn't allowed to happen. He was labeled an extremist by the MSM while Dump, Buythem, Obummer, Skull & Bush and the Clingons all were and still are.
This is a decades old show. I’m wondering if this still possible with newer electronic odometers and computerized title/registration records which often record odometer miles and ability to catch this nefarious practice.
Looks like an era where 60 minutes was making major changes to our systems. Now days, I don't think the officials or the people care much after a story breaks out, which is a shame.

Insurance companies require your milage reading quite often and there is a record of it.some actually inspect the car and it's milage.Those records could be made available to buyers.
Yes and we need more harsh penalties when you’re caught. 40 months is not a deterrent for doing this. Watching Tahiti’s infuriating. The honor system era is over. Too many scammers exit today to trust anyone with access to such a convenient way to collect cash. This should be a minimum of 10 years. 40 months is a joke.
When nearly everyone who does business with Americans demands a social security number or refuses your service In the modern world 🌎 You're forced against your will to do it in order to live. But these same businesses of every kind get hacked daily, and criminals get you social security numbers, and you are the victim of an unjust system When I got a social security number, it said do not share, do not use as I.D. so what happened. I very seldom had to ever give it to any enity till I was 50 years old. Now it seems that to do about 40% of transactions and as high as 90%, I'm am forced to do so against my will to survive. It's wrong.
Here's the funny thing. Some countries do the tax for you. They even send you a statement on how the tax money was spent. There is never an issue with that system. But in the U.S., this is a way to keep poor people poor.
