One woman's stolen identity exposed a system of exam fraud
This is enraging. Identity theft in the United States can be a headache, sure, but in most cases the financial institutions are the ones taking the brunt of the damage, and even that is probably covered by some sort of insurance scheme. This woman had her entire life stripped away from her, not to mention making her doubt her own abilities by implying she “failed” the exam.<p>How do these people live with themselves, especially the daughter of the CCP official who assumed the stolen identity? I’m sure financial criminals justify their behavior by telling themselves that in the end corporations suffer the cost of the theft, but in this case a single individual was forced to bear the brunt of this fraud for the rest of her life considering how important and life altering a good exam score is in China.<p>It boggles the mind that people can live with themselves and can carry on living with such guilt.  Then again, maybe it’s my western sense of morality that tells me the perpetrator should feel guilt. Perhaps they don’t...
