Harvard couple who paid housekeeper $4 a week for more than 13 YEARS are spared jail
Martha Smalanskas, 48, and Richard Smalanskas, 49, from Harvard, Massachusetts, pleaded guilty to violating the Fair Labor Standards Act at a federal court hearing in Boston on Wednesday
They originally met their victim in Bolivia when she was 16 and hired for as a nanny for their three children
Three years later they brought her to the U.S. illegally, claiming her to be a relative
For 13 years and four months she worked as their housekeeper and nanny, with the prosecution saying she made $2500 total
The family will pay her $150,000 restitution and serve 12 months probation, escaping prison time for a charge of harboring an illegal immigrant, which was subsequently dropped
And now comes the wizard to break it down for the more simpleminded readers

19. 150K only ? that's like 10k a month
they should pay 150k x 13 at the least
Jnumbers has the concept down, but just cannot do the actual work. Sad, really, that proof reading is also not in his skill set.

How did she manage an apt and food on $4 a day? Did she have health care?

Do you mean to say there were some underlying compensations that other Americans enjoy, but have to pay for.
Like any one of a long list of household bills ?

$13 years? Really?

:lmao: DUmmie math is always hilarious.
BTW, look where the people are from.

Wonder what party they are affiliated with?

She made out good. If I had a "relative" from Bolivia keeping my kids for that long, I would have only paid her $2000.

I think she should be paid blue potato. That's a lot of money.

20. Agreed, that or she should be offered full citizenship at the very least if she doesnt have it
so that she can us the money to hopefully start a new life here.
Do they ever really read what they respond to, or proof read their own responses?

Now why should the rest of us have to pay for a leftist's crimes...well more than we already do pay. The Harvard leftists should be in prison.

This reminds me of some of the math offered by Major Owens and John Lewis about slavery.
