That’s pretty impressive honestly.
I thought it was a before and after image before I read the title. Damn fine work.
Yeah this was more about the game than than the money.
I wanna laugh and say he is an egg taking an opprutinity to step outside his gender.
But…
Not only did her son not officially report her death, he wrapped her body in a bedsheet, stuffed it into a sleeping bag and hid it in his house.
But it’s not funny, just ghoulish, depressing and scary. That poor woman, she deserved better than whatever tf we call this.
I agree, but isn’t it strange that throwing her in a hole and throwing dirt on her, or burning her is considered the better treatment?
I think I’ve been duped by cultural customs.
I’d have to agree with you. Personally, they can harvest what good organs I have left and do whatever they want with the rest. I feel like a lot of the traditions around death are there for the surviving friends and family not for the deceased. In this case, he was the surviving family member and honored her by dressing up like her and collecting her pension.
I’m with Frank. Recycling bin.
Meh. It made sense in the wild. Can’t have animals digging up your loved ones. Now it’s more ceremonial but the idea is the same: It’s for the living not the dead
Okay but I’m having a hard time not finding humour in this. I mean shes dead, it’s not like she felt it or cared. Dude is a fucking FREAK for sure but like this as a situation, like that he even thought to do this and then executed this insane plan for pension money is absolutely bonkers nutso.
Like how long did he plan to keep this rouse going? There’s no way this works for longer than a year and then you’re going STRAIGHT to jail. And for what? A years worth of pension?
Tbh, I would actively authorize this for my next of kin if they wanted for a private pension. Doing it for public funds is fucked though. I would also stipulate that they be safe with the biohazard that is my corpse, because just keeping it in a bag in the living room is stomach turning.
Scared and desperate people do scared and desperate things. For all we know, this was this guy’s only way of keeping a roof over his head.
Omg how the fuck are people so brave to do that. 😭 Like, I’d freak out if there’s a dead body near me, like it feels as if someone is gonna assume you committed murder by not reporting a body. Like my first instict, after watching too many crime shows, is just you have to immediately call an ambulance, doesn’t matter how dead they look, you have to assume they’re alive. Like bruh imagine how sketchy it looks for someone to find a dead body with you. Literally makes you prime suspect.
Edit: Typo
Absolutely god damned right too. That’s HER money. She earned it. If it’s not paid out to her because she died before she got it back, her son should get it.
Just imagine you’re paying a mandatory fee each month (a big chunk of your money) into a fund that is supposed to provide for you when you get old, and then you die before you get old enough, then FUCK YOU give the money back. It’s not yours to keep. She earned it.
At least he didn’t run a hotel or anything…
US NIH researchers got enamored with shitty epidemiological research in the 90s linking the southern Mediterranean lifestyle to longevity. Similar focus on Okinawa and that diet. Shit begat more shit and suddenly everyone is drinking wine and olive oil. Thousands of manuscripts published, resveratrol!
Wasn’t until the 2020s that researchers actually went to these areas to see these magically ageing people. They found them in gravesites. Pension fraud can make you live forever!
In Japan…turns out everyone over a 100 was born on the 1st or 15th of each month. Shitty records restoration by the half assed US military after WW2 just meant they made up birthdates.
Even in super fit Sweden, life expectency is more or less the same as every other region.

Interesting, thanks for the information and the links.
I like that they actually included a photo of Mrs. Doubtfire in the article, in case people need a visual reminder of the hilarity.
You really look like your mother!
“…I have an idea…”
No no no, it’s one of those Blue Zone things! It’s definitely not pension scams!
Gotta do what you gotta do.
Yet another issue that would be avoided if everyone just got what they needed instead of us apathetically accepting global slavery.
I don’t think this is at all to do with that. This is sociopathy mixed with greed. He hid his mother’s body so he could run the pension scam in addition to his property portfolio.
So why does he have this obsession with money?
This would make for a great spin off movie.
