According to the The New York Times, InfoUSA compiled and sold lists that disclosed the names of elderly men and women who would be likely to respond to unscrupulous scams.
InfoUSA sold lists to companies that were under investigation or closed down by courts because of their criminal activity. The company's internal emails show that employees were aware that the investigation for elderly fraud involved their customers, but sold the lists anyway.
Since he left office in 2001, former president Bill Clinton has been paid by $3.3 million by InfoUSA, that has been identified as a key provider of specially designed databases that have been sold to criminals who use the detailed information to defraud the unsuspecting elderly.
Last week, Hillary obtained an extension of time to file her financial disclosure statement which requires her to list not just the sources of Bill's income but exactly how much they paid him.

macman - I expect our elected officials to be above the type of crime that the Clintons are apparently involved in. Your response is cynical, while skepticism is important in cognitive judgments, cynicism clouds the mind. If we in the past have been faced with a choice of the lesser of two evils should never mean we are willing to accept or overlook what is obviously immoral and in this case criminal. My mother-in-law, 84yo, is a recent victim of these people, and I suggest these criminals be locked up permanently. If someone commits a crime it is not justification to accept that the crime other commit likewise is okay. Two wrongs never make a right. I support AMerica, I will not support criminals.
