      True. Not worth it. Also this was in taiwan? I had a bit of frostbite driving on -35c on moped (I was 15y and drove 2.5km with headcover and helmet). Does taiwan ever have colder than 0c?

    Some of us are actual amputees and the thought of doing that on-purpose for some "payday" is bizarre. If you succeed, then you live the rest of your life without your limbs & looking over your shoulder, waiting to be caught because you know you broke the law. That kind of money isn't even enough to disappear into a better life & the odds of you getting that "payday" are slim. Insurance companies are notorious for not paying out like they're suppose to & they also investigate claims that they find suspicious with a fine-toothed comb. It took 3 months for a car insurance company to pay out my totaled car payment due to full-coverage. They investigated TWICE before finally releasing a $3000 check. What a weird scam to damage your good health permanently for a POSSIBLE payout. I have no pity for someone who DECIDES to become an amputee for money. That's disgusting & disturbing. Shameful.

      A women ran a red light and took off the front of my car, totaled it of course, I had a police report putting her entirely at fault so my insurance company wasn't involved at all. After a week if radio silence and taking either my sister's car or the bus to and from work I had to threaten legal action against her stupid insurers just to get a damn rental to get back and forth to work while they investigated how much they maybe would pay out. They paid pretty quickly after that though

    As somebody who is currently on worker’s comp for an injury, you get NOTHING for an injury. So if you’re considering faking an injury or staging an injury, actually just don’t. The insurance company actively works to pay you less than you deserve, too. So you have to fight to get a livable salary.
    TLDR: Don’t fake it or purposefully get injured for the money. It’ll always be less. Just get a better job.

    As a Taiwanese, I have to say despite our health care are pretty good, but even though the dude got the money it won't even be enough to cover all the medical treatment. Also, to get a frostbite in Taiwan during Spring is almost as rare as getting a five star rating from Grodon Ramsay.

    Even a few seconds of contact with dry ice on bare skin is enough to cause serious injury. 10+ hours was total overkill, and definitely torture. Honestly the whole thing reads a bit like coercion/manipulation rather than one man willfully putting himself through something he has to be zip tied into place for so he didn’t bail and losing both of his legs for the sake of .. another man’s debt? Especially suspicious that his friend photographed it when it happened. I am speculating I know, but it seems like the more likely option in my mind-

    I am currently studying insurance pre licensing, and there are a lot of regulations and laws put into place when you sign with a policy, most of which, protect the customer and some that protect the insurer. Any big claim is looked into by a whole underwriting department, in instances of death the company has a right to know information about an autopsy and if they are alive and get dismembered or an accident happens they have a right to know what happened and conduct their own investigation on the matter if i remember correctly. Example if you take out a life insurance policy for 1 million dollars and you try to commit suicide, your claim will be denied within the first two years of the activation of your policy. There are multiple clauses in the contracts that will attempt to minimize the scamming of the insured and the insurer so in short yes, it is really damn hard to scam insurance companies.

    As a Taiwanese, I’m so glad my country’s finally getting some exposure on Charlie’s channel. But at the same time I feel so ashamed to be from the same country as that idiot who lost both legs for a insurance scam.
    This was on Taiwanese news last week and when my friends and I saw it we just couldn’t believe it at first. How could anyone be so incredibly stupid 😅
    Note that Taiwan isn’t too far from the equator and we don’t get any snow at sea level. Going to see snow on the mountain is actually considered somewhat of a popular activity for family, friends and couples because it’s rare.
    There’s absolutely no way you could get frostbite that bad simply by riding a motorcycle at night. It’s literally a minuscule brain scheme.

    I would like to point out that he claimed he got frostbite severe enough to where he required amputation, from riding a scooter at night... *in Taiwan.*
    Quite literally the only places in Taiwan that break freezing at all are the mountains, and even then the very top of the highest mountain in Taiwan (Yu Shan) only *just barely* breaks freezing during the Winter months. So unless he rode his scooter at the top of a literal mountain in the middle of the night, the claim makes legitimately *zero* sense. And they live there! How on Earth did they think this would work??
