I think I'm in the wrong line of work. Instead of writing news articles about what the local city councils are up to and the such, I think I'll start scamming ultra-gullible people out of thousands of dollars. I mean,
if this hobo could do it, how hard could it be?
Prosecutors say a former Souderton resident posed as a music mogul on an Internet dating site and swindled more than $100,000 from 13 women all around the country.
Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Ferman said Thursday that 50-year-old Paul Krueger is being held without bail in Atlantic County, New Jersey. He was apprehended at a casino. It's not known if he's retained an attorney.

Ferman says Krueger posed as a Grammy Award-nominated music producer but was actually homeless, his only possession a laptop computer. He told women he was starting a company to manufacture DVDs and CDs.
Sheesh. You'd think that with more than a hundred grand in ill-gotten gains, he could have found some decent accommodations. And maybe a few knick-knacks.
Souderton police investigated when a woman who invested $10,000 complained to federal authorities that he had stopped returning her phone calls.
Yeah, I can see how that might make a person a little suspicious. Eventually.
