Yep in these parts, most of the rich have government "connections."

Recently had a similar incident with illegally imported cars. Quickly forgotten about. People kept cars illegally discounted by a greater amount than an average Joe's annual salary around here.

My dad works for a guy who isn't *physically* hiding anything on his property, but has hidden all the money spent to build it in a hilarious shell game. And yes he has government "connections." And a sweet little guest house for his motorcycle.

The little old lady wouldn't have to know about it. She sends in a background check for the bagger, it comes back saying Something Bad because he's on the government's naughty list, and the little old lady doesn't hire the guy and yet doesn't have any idea a Do Not Hire list exists.

There are conspiracy theories swirling about a "Do Not Hire" list that will flag otherwise innocent people in a background check if they're on the government's naughty list. It's possible at least...but what are the odds that EVERY job this guy applied to ran a check that could be exploited?
