Scott's a fucking dickhead. No one is arguing that the responsible
person should be allowed to somehow skate on the original charge or even
having to pay a punishment fee of some sort. What any rational person
WITH A HEART would suggest, as many here are, is that the banks should
not be allowed to game the system to multifuck their customers on a
single debit/overdraft. That's all.

Scott, lacking compassion and empathy, wishes as much pain as possible
to be put onto these folks (who, remember, in his mind, are all going to
Vegas and buying smokes and lottery tickets 24x7).

Hope nothing financially bad never happens to him. He seems to think
that he's solely and fully in charge of what can happen to his life and
his finances. He's not.
