But the more asinine part of the story is this ... more than 1,200 prison inmates, including 241 serving life sentences, defrauded the government of $9.1 million in tax credits reserved for first-time homebuyers. WTF? People manage to bilk the taxpayers out of millions of dollars thanks to government incompetence? Not shocked. And Florida prisoners are the winners in this little scam. Of those 1,200 prison inmates, 61% of them were incarcerated in Florida.

But that $9.1 million wasn't the end of the fraud. That was just what was doled out to prisoners. The total amount of improperly paid claims totaled more than $28 million. Oh and by the way, of those improper filers, almost 100 of them were IRS agents!
