The banality of identity theft is that your records could fetch less
than a dollar for the person who takes them.

Dwight McPherson, a patient admissions rep on the night shift at
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center in New
York, allegedly sold information on about 2,000 patients for a total
of $1,350, according to federal court documents cited by the New York
Post.
