Freeze fraud case: greed and leg-amputation crimes

This story from Taiwan provides us with a shocking example of how desperation and the need for quick money can drive two people to commit horrific crimes.

Personalities:

Ÿ  Leah:  A 23-year-old university student who faced financial difficulties after losing money in cryptocurrency trading.

 

Ÿ  Gang: Leah's friend since high school, also a college student. 

Plan: 

Leah devised a crazy scam scheme to make quick money, exploiting his friend's need 

Gang. The plan included the following:

 

Ÿ  Gang's purchase of several life insurance policies totaling US$1.3 million.

 

Ÿ  Exposing Gang's feet to dry frost (dry ice) to cause cold (freezing).

 

Ÿ  Filing compensation claims to insurance companies under the allegation that Gang was exposed to extreme cold during a trip on a scooter. 

Implementation:  

Gang reluctantly agreed to the plan. Leah tied Gang to a chair and put his feet in a container filled with dry ice for 10 hours. This resulted in severe injuries that necessitated the amputation of his legs below the knee. 

Collapse: 

Leah and Jang's plan did not work out as planned. Their claim that the injuries were caused by a trip on a scooter on a cold night seemed suspicious to authorities. Doctors noticed that the freeze injuries were abnormally symmetrical on both legs, which is unlikely. 

In natural conditions. There were also no traces of socks or shoes, reinforcing doctors' suspicions. 

Detection and arrest: 

Doctors reported the suspicious incident to the authorities, and a police investigation quickly revealed the fraud. Police officers found a dry ice container and photos of Jang's injured feet on Leah's phone during a search of his home. Leah and Jang were arrested for fraud and other crimes. There are currently no updates to their case, and it is likely  They are awaiting trial.
