Funny that was my first thought too
Like what is your exit plan on this? How long did they think they could convince people this guy was living. You can't exactly present a mummified corpse one day and say "welp he died".
What puzzles me is they called the cops as if they wouldn't notice how long he had been dead for.
They could have buried him somewhere and just said he had dementia and ran away. This is just dumb.
They did their scam at the wrong time.
Today, you can put together a deep fake video including their voice.
Have the fake alienate the other family members a few times to stop them from continued inquiries
Absolute pieces of shit
Tbh not defending them but I'd tell my daughter to do the same. Take from the government all you can fuck those people, toss me off the side of a cliff and cash my checks as long as you can
Agree, but I would make sure she has a plan for disposing of my body. Boating accident seems like a good way to do it.
No the trick is making sure no one finds the remains, otherwise the jig is up
If he made them a beneficiary then they would have a right to the money? An I missing something there?
Usually no. The pension ends when the person dies. Some will pay the spouse a reduced amount. But I haven't heard of one that pays the kids.
Not sure of the law or whatever I'm just saying this story sounds awful but I could see myself doing something similar right?
I sure ain't gonna blame a normal person for getting theirs, not under capitalism, but it seems like it wasn't very planned out
