Oh yeah. This one is just like the Gulfstream Girl story. An oldie but goodie.

Interesting story, but there's a lot missing.

Like, why was the ATF agent investigating an Arson in Texas? 'An easy case for the New Guy'? Then only later discovers is just happens to be owned by an arms dealer...

So just coincidence....

i mean, I guess you can call it coincidence that the agency that specializes in arson investigation was investigating an arson?

That turned out to be related to an arms dealer....

Are you surprised that someone would commit fraud in order to support a flashy life style?

Or that criminals often commit other crimes? What?

People are weird. Add a video camera and YouTube channel and they self-incriminate every time.

Yup. Amazing how many criminals get caught because they couldn’t keep their mouth shut. Reminds me of how they caught the BTK killer.
“Hey, can you guys catch me if I do this?”
“No, totally not! (Lol)”
(Does it and gets caught)

Police say they only catch the dumb ones....
