Rejon Taylor Doesn’t Think He Was Hurting Anyone? - And Response
posted October 8, 2008

So Rejon Taylor thinks he does not hurt anyone with identity theft? Where did that myth arise from? Or is that just his denial?

For all of those that do not know, identity theft ruins financial credentials and reputations and the victim’s lives, of which many can never recover. You cannot buy or transact. It is one of the worst tortures on the planet for law abiding citizens. It is one of the most devastating crimes on the planet, because the victim is left holding the bag.

The simple fact that he said that shows he has no remorse for any crime he does. Stealing is quite egregious, and especially in this day and age. Theft is rampant, from Mr. Taylor, right up to those CEOs and Lehman Bros and AIG. Only the take was bigger between the two.

If you do not pay your own bills and earn your own money, someone else always has to pay. Whether it be financially or emotionally, someone always has to pay.

Rejon Taylor didn't think he was hurting anyone because his victim wouldn't have to pay for it. He just doesn't want to admit that what he did was wrong and that is his warped way of justifying it. Ignorance really is bliss, isn't it?

I was a victim of identity theft in 2003. The dollar amount was small, thank God, but nonetheless, the ordeal was a nightmare that I would never wish upon my worst enemy. Police reports had to be filed, the bank had to have a copy of the police report to file with their insurer, cards cancelled, new cards issued. To this day, my credit card never leaves my sight when using it to pay.

If Taylor still believes he didn't harm anyone, he couldn't be more wrong.
