an absurd gap between her lifestyle and her declared income #1 (permalink) Wed Jul 21, 2010 8:12 am   an absurd gap between her lifestyle and her declared income
 

Hello Alan, Mister Micawber, Beeesneees, Mordant, Esl_Expert and other native English speakers,

"Her bank accounts showed an absurd gap between her lifestyle and her declared income," the newspaper quoted a police investigator as saying.
----------------------------

Did the bank accounts show that the robber had a lot more money than she was able to earn?

Hi,

What's this about the robber? The sentence suggests that the way she lived didn't tally with the amount of money she said she earned.
