Thirty-four people have been arrested for defrauding Social Security of nearly $2 million by pretending to be too fat to work. The culprits were listed as:
Alfonso Alvarez, Arnaldo Cruz, Carlos Barker, Francisco Castro, Julia Del Toro, Nancy Espinosa, Maria Fernandez, Tamara Fernandez, Xiomara F. Gonzalez, Xiomara M. Gonzalez, Anibal Guerrero, Leticia Hamid, Mustafa Hamid, Frank Hernandez, Lazaro Hernandez, Roalba Iglesias, Yolando Iglesias, Migdalia Interian, Miguel Interian, Yoanka Interian, Lucas Jimenez, Maria Martinez, Richard Mendez, Miriam Moreno, Rolando Morales, Olga Pena, Lujis Santos, Magaly Telleria, Dolores Valdes, Nery Valdes, Belen Villar, and Jacobo Villar.
Uh oh, I count only 32. It looks like two of them got away.

I find it interesting that all of those names are "ethnic". Surely there are white people defrauding the system.
No word on whether they're in this country legally, either.

The article was about people in Miami-Dade County who claimed to be too fat to work - thats it. Miami-Dade is mostly Cuban/Hispanic so its not suprising the names would reflect that.

" 55.32% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race."
