BankokPost- A Vietnamese woman paid a friend to cut off her hand and foot in a failed bid to claim an insurance payout. The woman, identified only as L T N, told police she had been struck by a train as she walked along the tracks and was rescued by her friend, D.
The 30-year-old submitted a claim to her insurance company for 3.5bn dong (£112,000, $157,000). In Vietnam the average annual income is £1,600 ($2,100). “N hired D to cut her hand and foot, then continued to have him report false information to the police,” said Bac Tu Liem police chief Nguyen Thanh Tung.
L T N checked into a hospital in Hanoi in May with a third of her left foot and a third of her left hand severed. Doctors told her they could not reattach the limbs. Hanoi police declined to comment the case, but reports said the woman offered her friend about $2,000 to perform the deed.
“The greatest shame is that N, instead of claiming the money, has suffered a huge loss by losing both her hand and foot,” Tung said. The woman is still being treated for the wounds. Police have said they they will not be investigating further and no action will be taken against her. “Her case sends a warning that people should not attempt insurance fraud at the expense of their own health,” said Tung, adding it was the first case of the kind he had seen in Vietnam.
Come to America. Here you only have to pretend you have an injury.
Be sure your sins will find you out.
Everybody wants something for nothing.
Illinois is notorious for its huge debt and dysfunction.
In Illinois there are habitual workers comp claims. Even when claims were proven false, nothing happened.
I always thought it would be cheaper just to buy employees a new truck every 5 years. It was cheaper in the long run.
This is also why the majority of businesses left Illinois or went bancrupt, workers comp, high taxes, business regulations, unions and dysfunctional democrat controlled government drove them away.

Another Stupid N whose get rich quick scheme crumbled upon scrutiny from intelligent people.
You really had to hand it to her.
I saw a movie where a guy takes parts from dead people and made another
person with the spare parts.
Not sure if it was real or not tho.
There was a rumor afoot that she wasn’t very handy.
