Employment Insurance Canada fraud...I mistakingly collected 4400 insurance benefits to which I apparently was not entitled. I am willing to repay. What are the odds of being prosecuted or jail time?

I am totally unfamiliar with Canadian law however - that being said - if you contact them and make a good faith effort to return the unjust payment you may very well be granted amnesty. Once thing is for certain - if you don't return it and you are found out, you will most certainly be prosecuted.

what an incredible idiot the last answer was.."I dont know Canadian Law" but...

very bad advice coming from an uneducated person. Call them and work out a payment plan

This happened to my sister recently and she was not prosecuted, but she did have to pay back everything that she was mistakenly paid plus thousands of dollars in penalties. I believe that it is 3 times the amount of benefits you were paid, so you should have to repay a little over $13,000. They did accept arrangments to pay it off over time.

Was Morris Cerullo convicted by a Grand Jury for tax fraud?

UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER August 14, 2007 DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO - The tax evasion indictment against San Diego-based evangelist Morris Cerullo has been dismissed by a judge who ruled federal prosecutors and IRS agents misled the grand jury on the key legal issue in the case. Cerullo was scheduled to go to trial Aug. 21 on three counts of tax evasion. The ruling issued Wednesday by San Diego federal Judge Roger T. Benitez means that there will be no trial for Cerullo, an internationally known evangelist. Cerullo based his global ministry in San Diego and has lived in a lavish Rancho Santa Fe estate, but it could not be determined yesterday if he still lives in the county. Benitez ruled the case had to be dismissed because grand jury members were not told that the distinction between whether money given to religious ministers is earned income subject to tax or a gift depends on the intent of the person handing over the money. Grand jury members asked several times about how to make that distinction, but each time the prosecutor, Assistant U.S. Attorney George Hardy, did not tell them the most critical factor was determining the donor's intent, the judge wrote. Internal Revenue Service agents who testified also answered the queries incorrectly. In one response, IRS Agent Sue McGuire gave an answer that stated the exact opposite of the law, according to the ruling. "I understand it is confusing, but we're not looking from the donor's standpoint; we're looking from the recipient's standpoint," McGuire said, according to grand jury transcripts Benitez excerpted in the ruling. Gregory Vega, Cerullo's lawyer and a former U.S. attorney in San Diego, said it is well-established law that the intention of the donor has to be determined to distinguish whether money was earned or a gift. The tax laws do not define what constitutes a gift to religious ministers and offers little guidance. In 1960, the U.S. Supreme Court established the benchmark legal concept that intent was the determining factor. "The tax statute is silent," Benitez wrote. "The grand jury asked repeatedly how to distinguish a gift from earnings. It was incumbent on the prosecutor to correctly inform the grand jury as to the Supreme Court's approach to this penultimate question. Yet, the prosecutor and the revenue agent witnesses failed to tell the grand jury that the donor's intent is the most critical factor." Benitez ruled that the misleading information compromised the independence of the grand jury and prejudiced Cerullo so much that the case could not go forward.

Is Pennington's National High School a fraud?

Penningtons National High School appears to be an online school that is privately operated. The address of the school suggests that it is housed in a small retail building.

The school claims accreditation with the National Accredition Agency, a body that seems to have no history and no physical address.
