eBay scamming teen faces 40 years jail - GoFuckYourself.com

A teenager from Gainsville, Georgia, faces a possible 40 years in jail for ripping off eBay customers.

Grogory Klimeck, 19, is accused of advertising non-existent goods and pocketing more than $4,500 in payments.

In one instance, he advertised ATI Technologies All-in-Wonder video card and took 20 payments ranging from $20 to over $250. Police say he never had the video card in the first place.

The net closed on the evil criminal genius when complaints to the FBI's Internet Fraud Complaint Center were forwarded to local police. Klimeck now faces a date with the judge on 21 counts of theft by deception and one of racketeering. If convicted, he could be fined $20,000 or be breaking rocks for a sobering 40 years.

Which begs the question: what on earth happens to you down in Georgia if you do something really bad? We suspect it involves a gurney, straps, needles and a viewing gallery packed with enraged relatives. You have been warned. ®

BradM · 03-20-2004, 03:01 PM

why is that harsh?

you get 6 months in Lousiana for possessing herbs.

You should at least get 5 years for federal crimes.

Living For Today · 03-20-2004, 06:48 PM

slackologist · 03-20-2004, 06:54 PM

40 yrs for $4,500 would be a bit harsh, good to see them catching people though.

and people bitch about this fucking crook getting years?

scammers and crooks will never change.

tootie · 03-20-2004, 07:08 PM

Holy crap, I'm originally from Gainesville, Georgia. I lived there for the first 20 something years of my life. I hardly ever hear of anything happening there. I've never been arrested, but friends who have been to court in Hall County have told me they are pretty lenient there. He'll probably just get several years of probation and hefty fines or whatever the minimum is.

69pornlinks · 03-20-2004, 07:09 PM

facing and getting 40years is a HUGE differnce..he'll get probation

1oz within 1000 feet of a school in NJ = 3 years.

Learned the hard way

insanesurfer · 03-20-2004, 07:16 PM

I think he will get at the most 1-2 years and a $5000 fine

TheJimmy · 03-20-2004, 07:20 PM

why is our country so PRO forced-anal-gangbang?

oooo, I guess they (politicians & the criminal justice system) were moved by the passion of christ so they must impose their christian values on everyone and have someone assraped and possibly get infected with AIDSs because the offender lied to some people on ebay...

I heard in the movie Kingpin that the bible was 'for forgiveness'...maybe that was a misquote...

are the Muslim countries that just cut off your hand for theft really any more barbaric than we are?

...forced ass fucking with a possibility of AIDS versus a loss of a hand?

hmmmm

personally I'd opt for becoming left handed....

bufferover · 03-20-2004, 07:27 PM

40 years in jail !? Wow that realy to much

yea even you know better than to use your real name and addy

Daen · 03-20-2004, 08:28 PM

It is easy to overlook the fact that he is being charged with 21 counts. If the story had read that for ripping off one ebay customer he could face 22 months or a $950 fine it would not seem too harsh.

exactly.

this guy didnt commit one crime.

he might as well done it 1000 times.

i hope they fucking burn this prick.

we can put people away for petty shit but some snot nosed prick commits federal fraud and people feel sorry for him?

anyone in this thread that feels pity for this cock, should have their car stolen next week.

dont feel sorry for this prick, kuill him.

thats what you fucks do to the rest of the people you deem "not worthy"

fucking hypocrits

Definately, but the penalty in this case does seem extremely severe.

Ic3m4nZ · 03-20-2004, 08:38 PM

In US they're crazy on fraud like that like they are on drugs..

Vitasoy · 03-20-2004, 08:48 PM

Make the kid pay back the money (by working) and give him 2 years of community service.

zzgundamnzz · 03-20-2004, 08:51 PM

40 Years is way too long for $4500. What the hell is wrong with the justice system. They give a serial rapist, murderer 25 years but they give a damn kid 40!?

I agree but the buyers must not be very smart when they don't bother looking at feedback for complaints
