-- Sterlynn Robbins, 23, of Connecticut allegedly threatened to blow up Stonehill College and kill two staff members. Robbins was kicked out of Stonehill in 2009. Robbins sent multiple text messages to a female student last week that contained the threats. He said: "Yea do me a favor. Be at Stonehill the day I blow it up...It’s not hard to get on campus and do what I need to do. The school already stripped me of everything...I don’t even care if they do kill me in my attempt. At least my pathetic life will be over.” Robbins is charged with transmission of a threat to injure the person of another and faces up to five years in jail and a $250,000 in fines. He'll be arraigned on Monday. [WHDH], [Globe]

In a rare show of decency, the IRS will—get this—ever so kindly allow Madoff and other Ponzi victims to not pay taxes on money they didn't earn! The IRS is considering issuing refunds to people who paid taxes on money that Madoff claimed to have made for them, but which was really just holding in his giant temple of devastation. Say, can we get refunds on taxes we paid on investments that declined massively in value? Probably not! One can't expect too much from the IRS. [AP via Globe]
