At one point in the wide-ranging, nearly two-hour conversation, Lutnick also said that if Social Security “didn’t send out their checks this month,” his “mother-in-law, who’s 94, she wouldn’t call and complain.”

“She’d think something got messed up, and she’ll get it next month. A fraudster always makes the loudest noise, screaming, yelling and complaining,” the billionaire businessman said.

“Anybody who’s been in the payment system and the processes, who knows the easiest way to find the fraudster is to stop payments and listen, because whoever screams is the one stealing,” he said. “Because my mother-in-law’s not calling, come on, your mother, 80-year-olds, 90-year-olds, they trust the government.”

    lol, my mom is rich. She doesn’t have fuck-you money but she’s fine, always will be.

    She also micromanages everything and if her SS check didn’t hit her account it would become her all encompassing mission to find out what happened. She doesn’t scream or yell but I’ve seen her go low-key Karen before and she would be on the phone every day until it got resolved.
