My father was as honest as they come. He grew up with strict morals on a ranch. Everyone hated dad at the Ford dealership, except the owner. Dad wouldn't sell hardly anything all year long, but once every year like clockwork all the ranchers, and farmers Pops grew up with drove into town specifically to trade-in their old trucks for new ones, and they refused to do any business with anyone else. He hated the job which gave him nose bleeds, headaches, high blood pressure, and he started drinking. Eventually the toxic work environment killed him at the ripe old age of 41 of a massive heart attack. No good deed ever goes unpunished they say.

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.

It's wrong.
I remember when I was a kid, watching my neighbor use a rollback device on a car he was about to sell. He was big time Jesus loving church going Christian of course .
The district court determined the amount of loss per car as $4,000 and calculated the total amount of loss as $6,000,000. It thus added fourteen levels to the base offense level for amount of loss. The court added two levels for more than minimal planning; four levels for Whitlow’s role as an organizer or leader; and two levels for obstruction of justice. The district court subtracted two levels for acceptance of responsibility and arrived at a total offense level of 26. The court sentenced Whitlow to four concurrent 36-month sentences and concurrent 60- and 84-month sentences. It also prohibited Whitlow from employment in the used-car industry while on supervised release.
