Season 4
[edit]Although Veronica Mars was cancelled after the third season, a fourth season "mini pilot" was originally included on the Season 3 DVD set and then was later uploaded online in February 2012. The short clip shows Veronica on her first day working her dream job at the FBI. Throughout the video, Veronica references the "academy" often, which is the FBI Academy in Quantico, VA, where she went after finishing college. At the FBI office in Los Angeles, Veronica is assigned to a case at New Horizons, a reform school for troubled young women, and receives a new partner named Carter. There is no mention of any of the main characters from the previous three seasons (Keith Mars, Logan, Piz, Mac, or Wallace).
The most notorious "bad cheque artist" of the 20th century, Frank Abagnale, devised a scheme to put incorrect MICR numbers at the bottom of the cheque he wrote, so that they would be routed to the incorrect Federal Reserve Bank for clearing. This allowed him to work longer in one area before his criminal activity was detected. In the movie, Catch Me if You Can, which outlines Abagnale's crime spree, it shows Abagnale soaking plastic Pan Am airplanes in his bathtub and removing the Pan Am insignia on the toys. He would then place the decal on the bad cheques he was writing while pretending to be a Pan Am pilot. From his schemes, Abagnale amassed over $2.5 million dollars[1].
FBI response
[edit]In May of 2001, Deputy Assistant Director of the FBI, Thomas T. Kubic, gave a testimony to the House Committee on the Energy and Commerce, Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade, and Consumer Protection on the FBI's response to Internet fraud crime problems. Alongside the U.S. Postal Inspection Services (USPIS), U.S. Customs Service, Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigative Division, and the United States Secret Service, the FBI has developed the "Operation Cyber Loss" program to combat Internet fraud. The agency also created the Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC) to help with the operation. The types of fraud that Operation Cyber Loss is investigating are identity theft, on-line auction fraud, credit/debit card fraud, investment and securities fraud, Ponzi/Pyramid schemes, and non-delivery of merchandise purchased over the Internet.[2]
