To Catch a Businessman
Back in the 2000s, there was a TV show where men would be tricked into thinking they were dealing with minors online; when they tried to meet in person, Chris Hansen would confront them on camera, and the police would arrest them. It was called To Catch a Predator. Now Hansen’s been arrested: he ordered $12,998.05 worth of marketing merchandise from Peter Psichopaidas’s Stamford, Conn., business. But, according to police, the Hansen News LLC check sent to pay for it bounced, and so did the personal check Hansen provided after the swag shop refused his offer of four installment payments. He’s charged with issuing a bad check. (AC/Connecticut Post) ...If Psichopaidas thought he was dealing with an honest man, maybe he never saw the show.Original Publication Date: 27 January 2019
