FBI Busts Couple For Stealing Taxpayer Money To Buy Million Dollar House And Yacht Andrea and Colin Chrisholm III, have been caught for fraud and abuse of the welfare system. They were arrested in Florida after being deported from the Bahamas. This couple collected over $167,000 in welfare, even though they had a $1.2 million yacht and million dollar house. Mr. sorry. Lord and Lady Chisholm the third, are fraudsters of the first degree, Freeman said. These folks ripped off the system. The Chisholms began claiming public assistance in Minnesota in 2005 after telling authorities they were living with Andreas mother in Minneapolis. Just weeks after the pair applied for assistance, they also bought an 83-foot yacht for $1.2 million in Florida, which they lived on for 28 months, according to the complaint. They were also claiming benefits in Florida at the same time as they were collecting money in Minnesota, the complaint said. The couple also allegedly failed to report the nearly $3 million they had deposited in various bank accounts to support their lavish lifestyle, and concealed that they had lived in luxury lakeside homes in Deepahaven since 2008 when they moved back to Minnesota, the complaint said. It is truly outrageous when persons of considerable means steal from the government and all of us taxpayers through abusing the social welfare system, Freeman said. We will prosecute this case with all the capacity we have. (Source: ABC) We couldnt agree more with Freeman. There are many people who NEED that money, including war veterans. The crime they committed is as horrible as any. Do you think they should be put in prison for life?
