I'm not advocating _anyone_ issuing death threats.
But, it seems obvious to me that this guy is a scammer.
I watched the news interview where he stated that he had some number of direct/indirect dependants. I've been on this earth long enough to be able to spot someone who is willing to do _whatever_ it takes to provide for a family. That in and of itself is not bad, but when you stoop to faking accidents you've crossed the line in my book.
He should find a real job and stop looking for quick (and illegal ways in my opinion) to make ends meet.
