Gee, Where'd he go wrong? (Not FF)

If You Succeed In Getting People To Believe You Died Overseas To Collect $540K Life Insurance, it's Probably A Good Idea To Move To A New Location And, Oh Yeah, Especially, You Shouldn't Keep Those Family Doctor Appointments And Continue Paying Taxes Under Your Own Name

(Did we mention wiping your fingerprints from your death certificate?)

What is it about the word "dead" that this guy couldn't understand? Real dead people get "last rites." This guy got "last wrongs."

Ahmad Akhtary of Gloucester, UK, forged his own death certificate, claiming he died overseas, so that his ex-wife could collect ?300K ($540K) Life Insurance.

Stupid and dead is no way to go through life.

If you're going to pull this off, you have to at least be smart enough to act dead.

(AFTER, he was "reported dead"..................
Mr. Akhtary was seen walking around Gloucester, was admitted to the local hospital, kept his appointments with his family doctor and continued paying taxes under his own name, long after his supposed demise. He tried denying any knowledge of the plot but, alas, his fingerprints were on the submitted Afghan death certificate showing that he indeed had a hand in his own death claim.

He and his ex only got a 90 day jail sentence, suspended for two years and 60 to 40 hours community service. Why such a light sentence? The judge said they were too stupid to pull it off (he called it "too unsophisticated") so little damage was done.
