Topic: Stupidity
Rule number one for attempting to blackmail someone; keep your identity secret.
This is something that New York criminal Donald Ray Bilby did not think of when he attempted to blackmail the FBI into giving him 20 grand for bail money when he threatened them with bombs and an envelope containing white powder, which he claimed was anthrax.
Bilby will now face an additional five years on his current sentence for grand theft auto, which never earns a five year sentence, no matter how many cars you have stolen. U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie summed it up best in his statement.
"I think it's fair to say we were not dealing with a great criminal mind here."
Indeed Christopher. Indeed.
