Darleen, freedom comes at a price. Just as it was paid for in the past with blood on battlefields, the struggle continues. The new battlefield is our electronic and mobile society. Expect some casualties, that's the price of 21st century freedom.

Les Miserables music:

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men?
It's the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
.
.
Do you hear the people sing
Lost in the valley of the night?
It's the music of a people
Who are climbing to the light.
For the wretched of the earth
There is a flame that never dies.
Even the darkest night will end.
And the sun will rise.

BTW, one gets extra credit for singing. LOL

Former Monson Savings Bank Executive Sentenced for Bank Fraud, Reports U.S. Attorney
SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- A former Monson Savings Bank loan officer was sentenced today in federal court on federal bank fraud charges.

United States Attorney Michael J. Sullivan, and Charles S. Prouty, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in New England, announced that JOHN SACCO, age 53, of Palmer, Massachusetts, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Michael A. Ponsor to seven months of community confinement, to be followed by seven months of home confinement with electronic monitoring, for bank fraud. In addition, SACCO was ordered to pay over $230,000 in restitution. SACCO had pleaded guilty previously to the federal bank fraud charges.

According to evidence presented previously to Judge Ponsor, SACCO was a vice-president and loan officer at Monson Savings Bank from 1991 to September 20, 1995. From February 4, 1993, to August 9, 1995, SACCO fraudulently obtained over seventy-five fictitious loans in the names of his family members, totaling approximately $847,657. Monson Savings Bank lost over $200,000 as a result of the fraudulent scheme.

The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Springfield and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin O'Regan, Chief of Sullivan's Springfield Office.
