This may be a silly question, but why would the Secret Service, which is tasked with protecting the President of the United States, be investigating door theft at Home Depot?
The Secret Service was originally created to investigate counterfeiting currency, they only started Presidential protection after McKinley was assassinated. Combating financial fraud remains part of their mission today.
Wow, he messed with the wrong guys there. I can already see a movie about this in front of my inner eye. Gerard Butler plays the agent.
(Did they maybe want to say “a service agent who doesn’t want to be named” or something?)

TIL.
I actually thought this must have been a “typo” in the article.
He was charged was wire fraud. That’s basically the Secret Service’s THING.
Don’t do wire fraud. Anything else is pretty fine. The moment the fraud goes over wires, you’re ultrafucked.
