      Ryan Grim Retweeted Zachary from Vista

      That this unhinged conspiracy mongering has been shared so many times is deeply revealing. There are smart, honest people grappling with this case on both sides and in the middle. Then there are people like this:https://twitter.com/ZacAKAMadu/status/1258781555981537281 …

      So it looks like #TaraReade was charged with check fraud on August 2, 1993, and the Biden Senate office forced her to resign in lieu of termination within the end of the week. Suddenly this whole tawdry spectacle makes a lot of sense... pic.twitter.com/67KKpAuqUi

      There is enough in the public record already to make it obvious that, if this is real, it means she bounced a check after losing her job and heading home to San Luis Obispo County. Some of the people sharing this are just confused, which is whatever, but others are willfull.

      Ryan Grim Retweeted Lindsay Beyerstein

      My *guess* just looking at it is it’s real. That there’s no subsequent court record suggests payment was made and the charge was dropped. That’s what happened in the 90s when you bounced a check https://twitter.com/beyerstein/status/1258891343105085441?s=21 …https://twitter.com/beyerstein/status/1258891343105085441 …

      What's your take on the screenshot? Is it a forgery/disinformation? Is it real, but misinterpreted? What's going on here?

      This saga exposes another class gap at work. I can’t count the number of times my balance hit NSF in my 20s, but by then the bank would charge you if you used a debit card, not the cops. In the 90s you could very easily catch this charge bouncing a paper check. It was normal.

      Ryan Grim Retweeted Sugar-Sweetened Beverage

      None of it makes sense if you give it 5 seconds thought. Yet it’s catching on anyway. As Trump used to say before he was mocked out of it: Sad! https://twitter.com/beveragesugar/status/1258893602379292672?s=21 …https://twitter.com/BeverageSugar/status/1258893602379292672 …

      Replying to @mikeljnola @beyerstein @ryangrim
      It doesn't make any sense. If she was in California, then she'd already gone home after losing her job. And if she bounced a check, her bosses wouldn't have found out unless she told them. And even if she told them, bouncing a check isn't a firing offense for a junior staffer.

      Ryan Grim Retweeted Gaff-Flied

      This helps explain what happened, though has an error. The county had a diversion program. The business had to try to cash the check 2X, then could take it to the program. The check writer would be charged. Prosecution only comes if they don’t make right https://twitter.com/fliedgaff/status/1258800115831107584?s=21 …https://twitter.com/FliedGaff/status/1258800115831107584 …

      So San Luis Obispo county has had a bad check program since 1989. The victim must try to cash a check twice before they can access the program (once if the account is closed). The person who wrote the check will only be charged if they fail to comply w/ the diversion program pic.twitter.com/LmPsOhf8To

      Tara’s attorney says she paid this off and the charges were dropped, which is generally what would happen with a bounced check charge. Probably some fees thrown in there.

          The error in that above person’s post, if you read the program description, is that the person would only be *prosecuted* — not charged — if they didn’t make right. The charge is what gets you into the program. Same with drug courts, you get charged but then not prosecuted.

          I worked in consumer banking for over a decade. I never heard of anyone getting charged with fraud for a bounced check, or even multiple bounced checks, banks love to charge overdraft fees! This was repeated check kiting most likely.

          If you accidentally bounce a check and then pay it off right away there's never a criminal charge. It takes a while to get to the criminal charge point. I'd say at least six months or longer.
