Neither Snow Nor Rain Nor ...What?

Naquan Wilson, 28, was arrested after his shift at the Garden City, N.Y., Post Office, charged with stealing credit cards from the mail. According to prosecutors, he took at least 30 credit cards over a period of at least eight months, and would go on the “dark web” to purchase information about the people whose cards he’d stolen. Wilson is known as “The Sock Man” at the local mall, because people noticed he kept his money and credit cards in a sock. He also drew attention in the parking lot: he arrived in a Maserati. Authorities searched his home and found nearly $30,000 in cash, as well as handguns, designer shoes, and luxury handbags. He was held on $50,000 bail.
