    When Bureau of Prisons personnel asked to see Anderson’s credentials, federal prosecutors said he showed them a Minnesota driver’s license and “threw at the BOP officers numerous documents.”

    What does that even mean?

      Sounds like he tried to flood then with so much paperwork that theyd just believe him. I dont think they mean literally threw papers but im just going of vibes here.

        I’m imagining fine print from credit card offers, etc. I mean, I guess it could work, on any given day, with the right (or wrong, depending on perspective) desk Sarge, but with a high profile prisoner? Come on…

        Alternately, I suppose they could have been a bit more creative and printed off some official forms and attempted to fill them out, but still…

        Fortune does not always favor the bold, apparently.

          I feel would imagine that prison is not letting anybody out without an in-person visit from somebody very high up.

            What even is racketeering? Sounds like something they made up when they can’t charge you with anything real.
