I have a cousin that is on the shady side. He made a lot of money making and selling fake Gucci bags and bringing them into the US years ago. He is legit now but I remember as a kid, a large truck pulled up to my house in the middle of the night and disgorged several thousand Gucci fakes into my basement. He gave me a $100 bill to unload the truck. Not bad when you were 14.
We took a whole bunch and my mom's friend, teachers etc all got Gucci bags for Christmas that year.  But he was always looking for an angle and trying make money quick. No jail time but he did flee from the FBI and couldn't come back into the US for a while.

Unfortunately, I do. A cousin on my mom's side served a couple years in prison. My brother has been arrested a few times, too.
I, however, don't have never gotten so much as a traffic ticket.

Let's be honest. We ALL probably are, to some extent.
Probably nothing serious like rapists or murderers, but how many here haven't, perhaps, twisted a few digits on a tax return, or not mentioned the fact that the checkout kid didn't scan an item? As for me: Guilty.

After my grandmother died, my aunt went a little nutso. Objects in the house weren't included in the will so she tried to take everything. She forged checks, used my grandmother's credit cards, etc. She, my dad and my uncle had a messy battle, I'm not sure on all the details. The house they grew up in which my aunt took over eventually went to hell; it was condemned and she got kicked out. We haven't spoken to her in about 11 years. She may be into drugs or prostitution now; we don't know, and frankly, don't care. Our lives are much simpler to live without that woman fucking them all up.

My great grandfather was a kangaroo judge in east Texas. He caught one of his "friends" porking his
wife and all hell broke loose. He beat the guy senseless and then told him he would kill him if he ever saw him in town again. One week later he saw his "friend" from his second story office window so he shot him dead...no charges were filed. My great grandfather was a worthless POS from what I've been told. |

I had a cousin who in the early 70's blew a cop and a liquor store owner away. This was in Cleveland. He went home and barricaded himself inside, then walked out with a pistol to his temple and pulled the trigger. What a piece of shit.
I was too young at the time to know him. No one called my mother to tell her, and she went to the grocery store the next morning and her nephew on the front page of the paper. All of my aunts kids were useless, crime ridden people. |

Had a cousin who killed someone as a teen. He got out a few years ago on parole. Got caught a few years later for a few felonies, I think arson related. Never actually met him.

My grandfather's brother went down for murder. The story as I heard it (happened like in the 50s or something) He caught his wife cheating, so he froze her little yapping dog in the deep freeze as revenge to get back at her. When she came home, he flipped on her after showing it to her and beat her to death....with the frozen dog.
I don't know how much of that story is actually true, but it's been told over and over every time I visit my grandparents. *shrug* |

My grandmother was busted for growing certain plants and selling them and alchohol in a dry county, at the age of 64. I never met her brother because he was always in jail. My great grandpa was run out of a certain state for making and running moonshine. I'm certain my grandpa does stuff, but never got busted. My brother has been busted for internet activities. My dad has been questioned about some activities. I was adopted.

I've an uncle that used to be a bit of a criminal... Not sure what he did exactlly but he hid from the cops for awhile. Ands been arrested a few times.
I used to DL movies off the internet, I looked at it as borrowing not stealing, cause I'd delete it as soon as I watched it. Liked it better then renting cause it saved me a trip to town ( Live in country), and $2:50  Could also get movies weeks before it was out in theaters.

My sister is a convicted felon, did some prison time. She has since gotten married (to a slug) and has a gaggle of children and no longer occupies time on the dark side. Unfortunately, that felony conviction prevents her from gaining decent employment so she can leave the loser.....

My Great-Grandfather and his brother were loansharks in Chicago. They had ties to organized crime. They also pioneered the technique of filling an innertube with gasoline, setting it on fire, and throwing it on your roof while you were sleeping if you didn't pay.
My Grandfather shot several people and ran moonshine from Georgia to Chicago while he was in the Air Force. My Uncle has a .32 Beretta that my Grandfather stole from an Italian policemen. Evidently he had a decent side though. Before he retired from the AF as a Master Sergeant, he managed to save several aircrewmen from two different crashs, and was crew chief of a B-47 that is now in the AF museum at Dayton. And, being such a nice guy, when he commited suicide, he did it in the parking lot of a funeral home, leaving a note with detailed instructions and full payment. I have a 2nd cousin in Key West who makes his living salvaging yachts off the coast. The owners have been killed for the boat(not by my cousin), in order to use it for drug traffic. He also sells whatever drugs he finds drifting off the coast. He used to run guns to resistance fighters in Cuba, but was caught and incarcerated there for a while. |

I met a lady once who asked my name because I had a resemblance to some folks she worked with. She worked at the prison, and these were not co-workers she was talking about. More than likely your relatives are near where I live if they are incarcerated. |
