Britney Implicated in Bank Scam -- Video Evidence

TMZ broke the story today about a South Carolina inmate who accused Britney Spears of forcing him to commit identity theft at gunpoint -- and now we have the video evidence to back it up! Kind of ...


Jonathan Lee Riches claims that the 2006 CNN television special, "How to Rob a Bank," clearly shows Brit Brit in surveillance video with Riches -- as he scammed a bank out of thousands of dollars. While the video is black and white and extremely grainy, Spears can be seen several times throughout ... in living color!

Surely K-Fed's attorneys will use this damning evidence in the custody case against her. TMZ tried to contact Britney's new PR rep -- the guy behind the counter at the Mobil in Malibu -- but he was busy with a customer.

61. Actually is is a for real Federal lawsuit. It's being reported on all the news channels. I don't think TMZ is trashing Britney with this. They're merely reporting about the idiotic lawsuit. It's obvious the guy has a screw loose or something.

62. TMZ it is a sad state of affairs when your leading headline is a fake and you had to add your own digital images! This is the only story you could come up with? The staff member who came up with this story line should be fired! You need to hire some real reporters who can actual report news. You must be desperate.

64. TMZ has stooped to a new decadent low! Ludicrous and absurd article. Fake headlines to get readers to believe your crap! You assassinate Britiny Spears as a human being. Headlines that are so absurd and preposterous that the only real BIZARRE BEHAVIOR ARE FROM YOUR STAFF WRITERS. Readers get a clue and send protests to TMZ for reporting false and misleading information. Please hold TMZ accountable for what they print!

My God - you're such a Twit! This is an actual federal lawsuit some inmate has filed. You haven't heard this on network news? Do you live in a cave? TMZ may be having a little fun with it, but the suit is indeed real. Grow up, dummy. And calm down while you're at it.

70. Good news, Britney fans. E! Online is reporting that music mogul is stepping in to clean up the mess that Britney made of her video footage. If anybody can fix things, that old wizard can. He's worked with the likes of Whitney over the years, & is used to diva fruitcakes. I'm wondering if he can actually wrap Britney up tight enough to get a tour out of her. If so, that will be a miracle. But then again, Clive is the original miracle worker. I'm betting that J.R. Rotem fits in there somewhere too, but I haven't figured that out yet.

That implication is such a freaking joke. Who in their semi-intelligent mind would believe such a hokey thing? Granted Britney's know for her constant lack of judgment, but seriously people. *shakes head*

73. I have had a rough day, but when I read this I could not stop laughing---the funny part is that this --is probably true. I have yet to see TMZ print anything they can not back up.
