Speaking of personal injury fraud, a segment once aired on the TV series UNSOLVED MYSTERIES about a con man who was deliberately inflicting injuries on himself to collect damages from a chosen victim with the aid of the hospital's attorney. The man went too far on one con job and his injuries resulted in his death on the operating table. The segment was aired at the request of the hospital where he had died, who were trying to find out who he was. This individual has the distinction of being the only con man not sought as a fugitive by the program and the segment aired originally in the mid nineteen nineties. |
