 Nigerian makes US Most Wanted List over $1m fraud A Nigerian, Onoriode Ezewu, has been named on the United States Department of Labour’s first-ever Most Wanted List over allegations of money laundering involving fraudulent unemployment benefit claims worth more than $1m. The department’s Office of Inspector General unveiled the list on its website on Wednesday, naming 16 fugitives wanted in cases involving alleged fraud, identity theft, money laundering, labour trafficking and other offences. According to the agency, the cases collectively involve more than $55m allegedly stolen from American taxpayers.

MISSOURI MAN HAD HIS FRIEND CUT OFF HIS FEET IN A FAKE FARMING ACCIDENT. (PHOTO).


 Missouri man had his friend cut off his feet in a fake farming accident.


How badly does someone want an insurance payout? One Missouri man wasn't wiling to give an arm and a leg but apparently had no qualms with a couple of feet.


An unamed man who is a paraplegic thought he had come up with a brilliant way to get a large payday. Back in November of 2023 in West Plains, Missouri, a call went out to first responders for a farming accident. 


 When they arrived on scene, sure enough the man had a tourniquet on each leg and his feet were missing. When we say missing, we mean the feet were literally missing. The man told first responders his feet had been caught in his brush hog while mowing.


That was one fact that led first responders to believe that something shady was "afoot". 


Another clue was the extremely clean cuts on both feet. This is not indicative of having your feet cut of by a brush hog. The first responders also wondered who had put the tourniquet on the man's legs.


It was quickly determined that the whole incident was staged to conduct insurance fraud. The investigation uncovered that a man from Florida had made the long trip to the Missouri Ozarks and chopped off the individuals feet with a hatchet. A few days after the incident, a family member called local law enforcement to inform them they had found the feet in a bucket on the property. 


No charges were filed as the man never actually filed an insurance claim when it became apparent that police were on to his scheme.
