Cut and Run

Jean François, a 42-year-old auto mechanic, claims he lost $15,000. "They said they wanted to help our community, and instead they steal from us!"

Concludes meat-cleaver-swinging Madeleine Baptiste: "I keep hearing about lawsuits, but I don't see my money. But if they are guilty, and they stole it, and they have cars and houses, then the United States government needs to ... get us our money back. I don't have a house, but they get to keep theirs?"
