49 People Accused of Bilking Red Cross of Hurricane Katrina Aid

The fake claims drained at least $200,000 from the fund, with an average payout of about $1,000, Red Cross spokeswoman Devorah Goldburg said. The total could rise as the investigation continues, she said.

The indicted employees were providing PIN numbers to their friends and family who would then go to Western Union to collect the funds, Scott said in October.

"Sometimes they'd give a victim a PIN number and turn around and call a buddy with the same PIN, and there'd be a race to Western Union," he said.

Why not kill two birds with one stone here? Anyone convicted of this despicable crime should be sentenced to help rebuild New Orleans without compensation. They could replace one of the many ILLEGAL immigrants working there now. The employer would pay to ship the ILLEGAL worker back where they came from, and then keep the difference in that cost and what they would have paid the worker had they continued to be scumbag employers of ILLEGAL immigrants.

Sounds win/win to me.
