If there’s one age group that cannot be trusted, it’s the elderly.
Their changing bodies, hormonal shifts and lack of employment to occupy their wandering minds combine to create the perfect criminal.
The latest case of geriatric delinquency comes from Long Island, New York, where a couple in their sixties were confronted by police for committing a Jell-O scheme.
For the unfamiliar, a Jell-O scheme is a form of financial fraud where the criminal buys boxes of Jell-O mix, makes the Jell-O, eats the Jell-O and then fills the box, reseals it and returns it to the store for a full refund.
The culprits reportedly racked in a 100-percent profit of $1.40 per caper (not including purchases made on double coupon days).
