Cat Country’s Joe Kelly Busted for Money Laundering

It isn't everyday that someone writes a story of their own arrest.

Truthfully, I have not been formally arrested. Yet.

Charges against me are said to include money laundering and terrorist related activities.  Jail time and up to $10 Million in fines await me.

Unless I pay $250 for a certificate to clear myself.

So says the email I received.

Yep. An email. That's how I found out that I'm wanted by the FBI and that there is overwhelming evidence against me.

Dang.

Ok, yeah, I don't think it's really true. I'm the victim of another attempted email scam - but, this time, instead of "winning" $10 Million, I, apparently, am being hunted down by the FBI - and, officials from the Republic of Ghana. For the record, I can't find Ghana on any map - even one with the names of the countries printed in big, bold letters.

Below is a little bit of the email. For now, I'm holed up in the Cat Country Studios. I could really use a doughnut.

Oh, for the record, I really don't know how to launder money. I can, however, wash white baseball pants in a hotel room sink in the middle of the night.
