Joe Biden’s niece finally pays up for $100K credit card scam

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s wild-child niece has finally coughed up the $100,000 she owed from a 2016 stolen-credit-card binge at a posh Greenwich Village pharmacy.

Caroline Biden, 30 — whose financier dad, James, is the ex-veep’s brother — had racked up bills totaling $110,810.04 at Bigelow Apothecaries on Sixth Avenue.

The privileged Georgetown University grad had borrowed the unidentified victim’s Chase card in 2015, with permission to make a single purchase at Bigelow totaling $672, according to prosecutors.
But then she set up an unauthorized account in the card-owner’s name and went on a spending spree at the posh drugstore, where such common items as hairbrushes and skin creams can run into the hundreds of dollars.

Family is cleaning up all the loose ends. Looks like Uncle Joe is planning to run for President...again. What a loser!

She sounds like a normal leftist Democrat to me. Since when does the law apply to them?

Just think of all those criminals who never ever pay back what is owed or do time without retribution. I'm fine with the amount being paid back - now she needs to be reprimanded from any credit for many many years. She also needs to be outside this spring/summer/fall doing something for her community...maybe a couple of years worth.

Maybe THEN full payback would be acknowledged...or NOT!

This is exactly what my ex-wife did just before she left me. Opened up a credit card in my name and a month later added her as the authorized user. This went on for about a year and a month before she left she called Citibank and had her name taken off as the authorized user. She then ran up $13,000 of Mary Kay products and transferred $4,000 from a credit card of her own that I didn't know she had.

Citibank kept calling me harassing me about paying on this credit card and I kept telling them what happened. Then they would leave me alone for about a month and call back. This went on for about a year and just when I thought I was safe they would call again. It got to the point that the last time I got into a screaming match with the caller. I then got a detective from the sheriff's office to contact them about a credit card fraud investigation. After that, I never heard from them again. Thank you, Wicomico County Sheriff's Office. I only wished they would have locked her ass up!

What is it with ex-wives? Mine took my name off her account and added her boyfriend's name. He even deposited his annual bonus in that account and his wife kept asking when he was going to receive his bonus check. Little did she know it was in her husband's girlfriend's account. He got away with it for a while but she really took him to the cleaners in the divorce settlement.
