You'd think if you were going to do something illegal, you would try not to be stupid. When I scan docs, I never use the default PDF format.

That is using the current up to date major bank MFD/printer thing. <br /><br />I sign all my doc's in black, but when I scan them in for emailing, the handwritten signature/text comes up blue. Could this somehow be the explanation?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815867514277794362.post-58925952744987785532014-01-30T13:51:17.077+11:002014-01-30T13:51:17.077+11:00Gotta really admire ur dd skills.Gotta really admire ur dd skills.kai xianghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094183407470192203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815867514277794362.post-70433924205862222852014-01-30T13:22:37.351+11:002014-01-30T13:22:37.351+11:00Interesting that the author (copier@...) metadata ...Interesting that the author (copier@...) metadata was removed from 1 of the 3 documents. Does that indicate some intent to conceal the source?<br /><br />Embarrassing for sure. It is reasonable that an interested party would send documents to a reporter. But then why not just send a link? Why use this copy? The most plausible scenario is ugly.<br />LBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815867514277794362.post-25976615404782288722014-01-30T13:05:59.668+11:002014-01-30T13:05:59.668+11:00Hempton, You're hilarious.
Getting serious,...Hempton, You're hilarious. <br /><br />Getting serious, I do feel bad for this Shane Dineen. The only thing that could make me laugh harder is if he became an analyst at Bronte Capital<br /><br />Make it happen! He did nothing wrong.
