The wild-child niece of former Veep Joe Biden stole more than $100,000 in a credit card scam — and quietly cut a plea deal in Manhattan court that spares her any jail time, The Post has learned.
Using a borrowed credit card, the blonde Caroline Biden set up an unauthorized customer account at Bigelow Pharmacy on Sixth Avenue in Greenwich Village, and racked up the six-figure bill over the course of a year, according to a criminal complaint that does not name the victim card owner.
As part of a plea deal before Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Kevin McGrath, Biden, 29, pleaded guilty to one charge of grand larceny and another of petit larceny and agreed to make restitution of $110,810.04.

I understand there are perks to being a government official. But why are those perks now extended to family?
Okay, so any one of us on USMB involves themselves with identity theft, steals over 100K, would we expect to get a slap on the hand and just go home?
As this article points out, this isn't her first run-in with the law. The last time she ran into trouble, she threatened the police by asking them if they knew who she was and what ramifications might be in store for them. Again, she got a break that most of us would never get.
