The Badass US Postal Inspector: Scam part 10

I received a letter from  M Nelson, Public Inquiry Unit for Kamala Harris, Attorney General, Department of Justice for the state of California.
".....As your correspondence describes possible misconduct by a firm using the United States Postal Service, we are forwarding your inquiry to the U.S. Postal Inspector. ..."
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is in Chicago.  Did you know they have a Facebook page?  On it, they describe other scams involving the mail service.  Fascinating!  Their website is also where you find the "most wanted" people.

I had no idea but in an average year, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service: •   Arrests about 12,000 criminal suspects, nearly half for mail theft or possession of stolen mail. •   Responds to about 800 postal-related assaults and credible threats, resulting in hundreds of arrests. •   Investigates more than 3,000 mail fraud cases, resulting in some 1,600 arrests and millions of dollars in restitution. •   Responds to thousands of incidents of suspicious items in the mail, including mail bombs, biohazardous material, and other dangerous mail. •   Investigates about 100 robberies of Postal Service employees and facilities and three times that many burglaries of Postal Service facilities. •   Responds to more than 60,000 consumer fraud complaints related to the mail. •   Arrests hundreds of suspects for child sexual exploitation offenses related to the mail and identifies child molesters. •   Arrests at least 1,500 suspects for drug trafficking and money laundering via the mail. •   Conducts about 4,000 forensic examinations, makes scores of court appearances to provide expert testimony, and identifies more than 1,000 violators of postal statutes.
I didn't know they were such badasses!

And since my last response to Adam last Monday, I haven't heard back.  Now, I am wondering if I've scared  him and should have played him a little while longer.  It would be great if the U.S. Postal Inspection people could descend on the Texas address and find the culprits.

While not fighting  criminal elements in the art world....my peaceful life in the studio continues...
I've been working on a piece that is based on "Camellia".  The colors are too saturated at the moment and it feels like I am being sucked into the painting.  It is too aggressive and I need to back off.
