Episode 8

The UK story involves a crash-for-cash fraudster whose scheme backfires badly enough to leave him bankrupt. These staged collision setups have always been one of the more brazen categories of fraud, given you’re putting other drivers at genuine risk, and the satisfaction when they collapse on the perpetrator is correspondingly higher than watching someone exaggerate a slipped disc. Whatever went wrong for this particular fraudster, the outcome is about as consequential as it gets.
