  2. Go on, chop your legs off mate. Get robo legs with the dosh. Can’t go wrong.

  3. Sounds like the guy had a very manipulative friend who talked him into it. He also clearly isn’t right in the head if he considered this. I hope his friend also gets punished severely.

    As they say with friends like this you don’t need enemies.

  4. At 23 years old, I wouldn’t even do it if I was guaranteed 1.3 million.

  5. „Liao, also 23, suffered losses from trading cryptocurrency, and he tricked Zhang into signing a legal note obligating him to pay about $800,000, investigators said”

    Wow, some friend.

  6. I remember reading a different article about this. Dude zip tied his “friend” to the bucket cause he was trying to get out of it after 10 hours. Also, of all the insurance policies that were taken out, only one would pay out and it was only for $7200.

  7. Oh, for the love of….

    He provoked a FROSTBITE injury to justify medical amputation….in TAIWAN?!(Not exactly a polar country) When temparture was ABOVE freezing. That was bound to raise alarms somewhere.

    And he took the insurance just days before doing it. I mean, how would it NOT look suspicious?

    I dunno about your legs, but you’re sure you didn’t amputate your brain or something?

  8. There’s stupid and then there’s cut-off-your-legs-for-a-scam-and get caught stupid.

  11. Another guy once tried to do the same thing but with a saw and that guy died for obvious reasons

  13. Crypto bro smart enough to succeed in getting his legs amputated, but not smart enough to realize that a frostbite injury from riding a motorbike in 42°F weather is going to be obvious fraud and that even if he’d gotten away with it, $1.3 million wouldn’t be nearly enough to compensate him, nor will he get his legs back. I’ve seen crypto bros do some stupid shit, but this one is hard to beat.

  14. All for that TikTok clout, amirite? All you Mr. Beast/Jake Paul-wannabes.

  17. Regarding his insurance claim, Zhang really doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

  18. I would far prefer having my legs to $1.3 million. That’s not even that much money anymore. Certainly not enough that it affords you to be disabled for life.

  19. I feel that what’s not being said is that they kid prob owed money to the loan sharks and the runner is the other kid, who had to persuade him to do away with his legs and take a video to prove that they did what they were told.

    And they are scared to reveal the gangsters who they owe money too, or perhaps they were convinced to shut up so as to forgive their debt.

  21. Does this guy have some mental illness or handicap? No way a sane person does this

  22. Probably didn’t go high enough up the leg. A few more inches and it woulda worked. Poor planning.

  23. Ok Folks…If someone approaches you with a “Sure Fire Plan” to “Get Rich Quick” that depends on you suffering *Life Altering Injuries* perhaps suggest that THEY suffer the crippling injuries and see if they still think its such a good plan.

  25. Businessinsider may need to work on their understanding of the word “friend”. Not terribly surprising given the source, but c’mon.

  26. In slovenia we had case where boyfriend cut womans arm in insurance scam. They both went to prison.

  27. The victim tried to blame the partner in crime. But he did not have a leg to stand on.
