Cardinals are watching ‘Conclave’ the movie for guidance on the actual conclave
The 2024 movie is proving a useful primer for clerics about to take part in the real thing to choose the next pope.

Back in the 1980s I was working for a major bank in NYC. I was leading a development team that built a wire transfer system to send money anywhere in the world. Customers could dial-n, log into the system and access their accounts to send money t0 over 125 countries. The system was hacked one day and the hackers were wiring money to banks all over the US. Working with federal authorities we identified the hackers who were located in 5 different countries. It took about a month to find them. The difficulty of finding hackers in 5 countries is 100 times more complex than finding someone withdrawing money or cashing checks in a US bank. It is inconceivable to me that DOGE identified 20 million fraudulent Social Security accounts and after a month or more they have not identified and arrested a single person stealing the money.
The process is so simple it should take no longer than 1 day. SS knows where the money is sent. If it is by check, there is an address. Someone has to physically take possession of the check and then take it someplace to cash it. If it is direct deposit, it could get just a bit more complicated nut still pretty easy to find out what is happening to the money.
The fact that no one has been identified and arrested leads me to believe that DOGE jumped the gun on their announcements. What they found m ight just be data quality issues and not fraud. It really is time for them to put up or shut up.

Just a reminder, J^ protesters were put in prison for months for trespassing in the Capitol Building, even if they did not damage. I do not want to hear liberals complaining about free speech rights.

DODE doesn't have subpoena authority. They're not investigators. I work in the industry as well and dealing with other (receiving) banks is cumbsersome and they're not very coorperative even in cases of clear fraud. And as I mentioned earlier, I'm not sure that today's FBI, IRS, Secret Service, etc has the chops to handle these types of complex cases and, even if they did (which they don't), it could take a long time to indict and arrests these scoundrels. I would imagine that there are cases where funds were funneled to wretched traitors like Stacey Abrams and then it becomes a legal and accounting issue. Her taking funds meant for poor folks to buy appliances might be unethical but the question is whether it's illegal.
