Re:dumb people lose money, not freedom (Score 1)

The point he was trying to make is that anyone who considers the issue rationally would realize that "accidentally" sending a check somewhere doesn't mean your money is gone, all that person would need to do is void the check by number and issue a new one to the "correct" recipient. Asking the mistaken recipient to deposit the money would be a roundabout and unprofitable way to do the exact same thing, thus it looks suspicious to begin with.
