A grand jury has indicted a Juneau man for PFD forgery just a day after this year's Permanent Fund Dividends were sent out.

According to the Alaska Department of Revenue, 64-year-old Daniel Batalona committed the crimes last year when he received three PFD checks in the mail that didn’t belong to him.

Batalona allegedly forged signatures on the back of the three checks and then deposited the checks into his personal bank account.

He's now charged with three counts of forgery and three counts of theft.

If convicted, Batalona faces 45 years in jail and $450,000 in fines.

We do seem to have a problem with ethics--what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine, too. It matters not your occupation, if you have one. Perhaps you are a preacher, or the president of a bank, or maybe you are a girl scout leader.We need to change our thinking; this sure no way to live.
