Of course you'd be tempted, Elisa and so would I. Almost everything
is a temptation - the true test of character is how you respond to it.
And from what little I know about you, I'm fairly certain that YOU
wouldn't have done it, either. Especially if, as in her case, it was
the equivalent of pocket change. Whatever you think about her, she is
certainly not stupid - she knew she committed a federal felony the
second she made the call.
