Scooter Store slowly rolling into FBI trouble

FBI Declares War on The Scooter Store - Business - The Atlantic Wire

Approximately 150 federal and state law enforcement agents launched a massive raid on one of the biggest perpetrators of government fraud in America: The Scooter Store. Yes, that's right. The nation's largest provider of single-person electric vehicles and power chairs is the target of a federal investigation, probably because many of the people who ride around their "personal mobility devices" don't actually need them.

Ha. I always expected something like this. Not just the Scooter Store..any of those product providers that incessantly advertise soliciting new customers that are "covered by Medicare or Medicaid".

Lazy and obese should not be reasons to need a scooter. It's no wonder you can't walk into a store without almost getting run over 10 times by one of these things.

That is great, if they keep the crackdown on it. I'm sure 60 more scooter options are going to be available tomorrow for medicare fraud.
