Only $16,788 Per Phony Child

The saga of the woman who did not give birth to nondecuplets is complete. Via Joe Kristan comes word that Norma Coronel made a plea deal and was ordered to repay the IRS $302,186.

Though the linked story states she gave birth to 20 phony children, earlier reports indicated it was just 19 (with one of them real). I’ll use the smaller number (erring on the side of caution, I suppose) which equates to a repayment of $16,788 per phony child.

As I said when I first reported on this story,
claiming something that’s very newsworthy on your tax return that’s false is a sure way to get into trouble. This was truly Bozo.
