How will they ever get rich moving the rounded-down fractional

It has been done MANY times. Some real incidents, and some urban legends.
Usually the miscreant is caught due to failing to realize how rapidly the
"receiving" account will grow.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical

holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd

I prefer scams that need a little more legwork. Like this guy:

Probably not, but it's definitely worth a listen. It's a pretty good story. If
you're having issues with NPR's player and are OK with MP3s, I could probably find
the MP3 of the podcast in my archive; they re-ran it a few weeks ago.
Of course, if you're one of those people who can't stand This American Life, it
may not be the story for you. :-)
