a poisonous plant looked up how much pure arsenic is necessary to be fatal for a human and searched to see if arsenic would be detectable in an autopsy it wasn't the first time James attempted to poison his wife his sister informed police that James had poisoned Angela five to six years before and tried to make it look like she did it herself the last time James

edge of bankruptcy for a second time and Angela had told her sister that their financial situation was Dire James ordered a shipment of arsenic to be dropped off at their home and had potassium cyanide delivered to his office before admitting Angela to the hospital James informed his office manager that he was expecting a package and instructed her not to open it however when the package arrived

one of James's longtime friends and business partners spoke to one of the attending nurses at the hospital and shared that he thought Angela was poisoned the business partner informed the nurse about the potassium cyanide canister James ordered to the dental office despite no medical need or purpose for it to be at a dentist's office the partner confronted James about the package too which James claimed it

contained a ring for his wife however the partner didn't believe him and demanded to know why he would buy cyanide so James quickly decided to change his story admitting that yes the package did contain cyanide but it was Angela that made him order it as she was suicidal and he wanted to call her Bluff and snap her out of it as a mandatory reporter the nurse

responded that he hadn't poisoned her again something that many loving husbands have said before so it was totally not suspicious right but he agreed that she looked pale and expressed concern police believed she had arsenic in her system during that time James filed for professional and personal bankruptcy in 2020 his dental practice Summer Brook Dental was running with an approximate 120 000 monthly loss and James

had accumulated over 2 million dollars in personal debt James dug himself into a hole with a series of bad Investments he sunk over a million dollars into a cryptocurrency named extraoption.gold which he hoped would prop up his business instead the investment cost him significant money and extra option.gold is now better known as fool's gold another of his Investments was in a crypto Ponzi scheme where he

life insurance policies on his wife valued at a little over eighty thousand dollars which would have barely made a dent in covering his debts James didn't think he was at fault for his financial difficulties and blamed those around him instead he blamed the dental practice issues on Dr Chris Brady who according to James suggested he changed the business model James said that the change increased the

businesses expenses and forced him to bring on a new dentist who was a bad fit James also claimed that they were buried in debt when they replaced the dentist he also said he had to take out loans totaling roughly 1.7 million dollars to cover increased expenses their business spending didn't exactly match the office's dire Financial State they spent over 60 Grand on travel and almost twenty

fraud in 1999 Lou hired people to sink his 1.2 million dollar yacht to cash in on the insurance money Lou instructed them to drive the 56-foot craft named corwell past the Golden Gate Bridge and into international waters where they would sink it to the bottom unfortunately for Lou the men he hired were undercover police officers in a sting operation they hid the yacht but told Lou

they had sunk it he paid them thirty thousand dollars in cash and twenty thousand dollars in gold watches and reported the luxury boat stolen to American Yachts limited the incident was certainly not Lou's first interaction with law enforcement in 1965 a jury found him guilty of shooting Karen Gervasi the 21 year old woman in his Los Angeles County apartment he tried to convince the court that

Gervasi accidentally did it to herself but nobody believed him in 1968 the California Supreme Court reverse the conviction citing hearsay evidence that shouldn't have been allowed in the trial while Lou got to walk free he didn't stay out of trouble for long in 1977 he was back in court again for going after another person this time a guy and the jury found him guilty on two

counts and he spent three years in prison Lou passed away in 2015 after suffering from lung cancer years after his passing in October 2022 police discovered a buried Mercedes-Benz on his former Atherton estate where he lived with his family in the 1990s authorities uncovered that Lou reported the vehicle stolen in 1992 and received between 87 and 88 thousand dollars in insurance money for the stolen car

he buried the vehicle with unused bags of concrete the police brought cadaver dogs to the scene and picked up the scent of possible human remains although authorities didn't find any in the vehicle it's weird that this concrete evidence wasn't concrete at all number three professional test taking inderjeet Kaur a woman from South Wales ran a criminal operation where she charged people hundreds of dollars for her

to take their driving tests for them between 2018 and 2020 cower sat through 150 Theory and practical driving tests for candidates who struggled with the English language once she passed their tests she handed them their driving licenses staff at driving test centers were suspicious of cower and reported her to the driver and vehicle standards agency known as the dvsa which is the organization responsible for driving

tests in the UK the dvsa referred the case to local authorities who opened an investigation and cower wasn't the only person guilty of test fraud around 200 miles away in Derby England a staff member at a driving test center noticed a woman who seemed to be taking a test on behalf of someone else authorities launched a search to find the woman who had been spotted throughout

the UK and released a picture of her in an attempt to identify her between cower and the unidentified Woman They fraudulently took tests in at least 10 counties across England and Wales there their cases weren't isolated incidents either as of December 2022 driving test fraud was on the rise in the UK the fraudulent driving tests caused public safety concerns as the fraudsters enabled unqualified and potentially

dangerous drivers to obtain legitimate licenses public officials feared there would be a rise in serious accidents the dvsa sent out a notice urging people to report drivers they suspect are sitting a test for someone else and warned that it's against the law to cheat during a driving or Theory test they also warned of the serious ramifications of posing as someone else when taking a test such

as prison sentences court costs fines driving bans and unpaid work additionally the dvsa planned measures to crack down on the situation to prevent any unqualified or unsafe drivers getting behind the wheel authorities uncovered cower scheme and arrested her she pleaded guilty and the court sentenced her to eight months in prison a man guilty of the same crime who charged over a thousand dollars per test was

sent to 18 months in jail judging from all the bad drivers where we live the women must be operating here too at least someone is putting the brakes on this scam number two faking a city when the city of Newark entered into a sister city partnership with the United States of kailasa or usk they thought they were establishing a relationship with the first sovereign state for

Hindus however they'd soon learn that the nation was nothing of what it seemed the usk nation was created to honor Parham hamsa nithyananda the so-called Supreme pontiff of Hinduism or SPH the country claimed to have a population of 2 billion practicing Hindus and had its own flag Central Bank and passport unfortunately for Newark the country didn't exist the kailasa group which followed nettiananda's teachings claimed to

have extended campuses in 150 countries and promoted a form of Hinduism centered around its Leader's alleged miraculous Powers his powers included delaying the sunrise and teaching cattle to speak Tamil however the spiritual leader couldn't find a way to miraculously get himself off of the radar of Indian police who wanted him on pretty serious charges dealing with let's just call these non-consent issues and some abductions why

did nettiananda want sister city status since the kailasa group looked very much like a cult if they gained sister city status they would appear more credible and be able to recruit people in the United States foreignonda having American recruits meant more money nityananda didn't attend the sister city ceremony where vigiabria nityananda represented usk instead she identified herself as the permanent ambassador to the UN for the

fake country vigiopria described the usk as a country that was service oriented borderless and established on the principle of Oneness apparently vigiopria also didn't know the difference between a country and a philosophy bijiopria had a large tattoo of nityananda's face on her bicep which she had done in 2016 after participating in a program with with thousands of other attendees she claimed he made such a profound

impact on her life that she wanted the tattoo as a daily reminder of his teachings many other followers used tattoos to express their spiritual affection for nitinanda either of his face or of his mystical third eye which he claimed could heal the blind with such a devout following it's no surprise that Newark wasn't the only place to fall for the idea that usk was a real

place 30 cities signed some sort of acknowledgment of the usk including Pomona California Richmond Virginia and Delaware Ohio the usk scammed local state and National governments into entering sister city programs and other unofficial proclamations for almost 20 years even Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sent a letter of support to usk for its Hindu Heritage Month celebration and California representative Norma Torres sent a certificate of special

recognition Colossus Representatives went to Geneva to meet with the United Nations where they described their Nation as the first sovereign state for Hindus no wonder they were proud and passionate about their Nation when they believed their ruler was so powerful on top of preaching that he could delay the sunrise teach cattle to speak Tamil and heal the blind he also claimed to have ESP and x-ray

vision like a Hindu Superman six days after Newark signed the sister agreement the city learned that the usk wasn't the real country or city and dissolve the partnership today nityananda is a fugitive from Justice while hiding from Indian law enforcement he still preaches online as his followers build out a network of non-profits within the U.S before we get to number one if you're enjoying this video
