This isn't about $53. As I said, $50 of it was her own donation which never got used, so that's not a huge deal to let her take back.

This is about the community being nervous when a fairly new and active user has recent fraud arrests, and how people need to know this before something bad potentially happens. Because she's female and seems to be intelligent, the potential is much higher for her to build close personal relationships with members here, who will get to like and trust her. It's important that these people are not left in the dark regarding her recent past.

Had these arrests occurred 20 years ago with nothing like that since, I would dismiss it as youthful indiscretions and this would all be a non-story.

That's not to say that everyone on PFA needs a clean record, or that someone who got in trouble with the law recently isn't welcome here.

It's just that when I recognize that a member has a high potential to be liked and trusted by many, and then I find they are recently getting arrested multiple times for fraud-type crimes, it's something that needs to come to light.

FYI, there is NO EVIDENCE that there was any kind of long con involved, or that she was planning to roll anyone. It's very possible that these arrests are completely separate to her PFA life, and that she just wanted to be liked/accepted here, with no bad intentions. But we couldn't take that chance with keeping it quiet.

Not entirely true...

As Sonatine pointed out:

i told drexel and druff about her criminal history days before it went public here. there was absolutely no danger to anyone beyond their own potential to get privately rolled by an admitted drug and gambling addict.

You knew about the arrests for several days and held that info correct?
There was no imminent danger over a period of 2 days, which is the timeframe we're talking about here.

To my knowledge, nobody even had any kind of financial dealings with her, aside from that small amount of freeroll money she was holding.

In a situation like this, unless it's an emergency, we need to take a short amount of time and figure out what to do.
