If you haven't heard...
There was a fishing derby in Cleveland and these 2 guys were found to be cheating so they could win the big prize. Someone got suspicious and cut open one of there fish only to find it was stuffed weights and Walleye fillets. (Is that like a Terducken made of fish?!??)
Anywho, apparently cheating is felony in Ohio. That just leaves me confused. Is it illegal for kids to cheat playing Monopoly? Cheating is a felony. Come on. Isn't a fishing derby a private affair?

I reccomend the Monty Python Fish Slapping in public.

If money was involved then I don't see it being any different than any other theft. If the misappropriated prize exceeded a certain amount then I can see the felony angle (no pun intended). |

It cost thousands to enter. The prize money was around a $100,000. And, this wasn’t their first time being caught. If I steal your car, is that a private affair? |

Fair enough, I obviously wasn't thinking the morning.
But I got quoted thrice!
I guess I'm just hung up on the crime of cheating. Why not fraud?

If money was involved then I don't see it being any different than any other theft. Guilty to several charges including larceny. It also opens them up to suspicion of cheating in past tournaments as well. Here's an attorney's take on it. |

1. Those guys are scum and should be hung up on the road into town for all to see.
2. Steve Lehto is a Midwest treasure. He and Charlie Berens should do a collab. Maybe on Chicago drivers and the laws we break.
