Sounds like he was doing what everyone else was. He just got singled out and made an example of.
Nope.
There is a difference in a little gaming for an extra permit or 2, and identity fraud. he was using other folks names w/o their consent, and a bunch of them too
Apparently a lot of guides had been trying to bust this guys ass for a while
Kelly is charged with identity theft for using other people's names and personal information, and his mailing address, to apply for each hunt, thereby giving him a greater chance of obtaining a permit.
In some cases the people whose names he used didn't even know him; others knew him but did not give him permission to use their personal information.
"Not only did Mr. Kelly cheat the system, he stole personal information from law-abiding hunters he had guided on previous hunts," Eason said. "Mr. Kelly kept personal information on hunters for years after he provided guiding services for them. Knowing a lot of his clients were from out-of-state, he felt safe the unsuspecting hunters would not find out about his illegal operation."
Didn't you need a SSN to apply? Now, I'm sure the people say they didn't give him permission 😆 . Glad they got him I'm just saying this was the norm a year ago.
SSN number, DL number or customer number i think
Don't worry, maryjane will be legalized soon
