Earlier quoted context omitted.

The court will argue that even your so-called wireless device has wires inside it.

I thought the term "wire fraud" meant "wire" in the sense of "telegraph". That is, it's fraud relying on telecommunications, which could include landline telephone, satellite, microwave, radio or internet. Have I got that wrong?

You are correct. It was a bad joke on my part.

She likely had children because she thought it would make her more sympathetic. Unlikely given how she acts and treats all around her that the children are more than pawns in her game.

Imagine being her child; imagine growing up knowing that in all likelihood, you only exist because your mother wanted to stay out of prison.

I think the worst part is that she could have done the work to change as a person, realize her narcissism, realize how to overcome that and perceive the world differently. Yet it won't matter. Her children will always be perceived this way. At least in the near term. I imagine by the time they are in their 20s they will have some kind of personality disorder as well.
