Death doesn't get in the way of fraud

Mother's Day is coming up on May 13th. There's one mom out there who should be spending the day in jail with nothing to do but remember her dead daughter.
An employee fired by one of the suspects in the $39,000 insurance fraud blew the whistle on her ex-boss, Shirley Miller. She and Denise Lattimore, the mother of leukemia victim Tamieka Edwards, got axed for their little scam...
Lattimore allegedly convinced fellow city worker Shirley Miller, who worked in the city's pension division, to enroll Lattimore's daughter in the insurance program just two weeks before her death. The daughter had been eligible for city benefits since Sept. 30, 2003, when she was promoted to a full-time secretarial job at the city's solicitor's office. But she never signed up for benefits, the report states.This happened in Atlanta, where they expect the sweet ministrations of the judicial system will take the two women away. The city wants to try and get the money back.
The day after Edwards died, Miller amended the policy to name Lattimore as the sole beneficiary of Edwards' benefits, the report states.
Hahahahahaha. That check was cut last June. If anyone's thinking they're going to find a savings account with all the cash plus interest just waiting to be recovered, I mean come on, they probably went through that ka-ching faster than a glass of water in Tijuana plows through a tourist's bowels.
