Ingenious criminal activity shouldn’t be seen as this heinous once they are caught. While this man is obviously wrong in his doings, we can’t help but sit back and have a nice laugh at what he was attempting.
A Milwaukee, WI (of course it happened in Wisconsin) has been arrested and charged with defrauding a restaurant as a habitual crime. His tactics included eating at “high-class” restaurants and then faking a heart attack to avoid the “high” bills.
Just how high class was this man eating? Applebee’s high! He racked up a shockingly expensive bill of 23 dollars after consuming a steak at the Milwaukee-located Applebee’s. He then faked a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital without leaving a cent behind. Oh yeah, this was his second faked attack. During the first faked heart seizure, he stumbled out of a taxi cab without owning up to the driver. I wonder why he didn’t drive him to the hospital…
Anyways, when he arrived at the hospital, a doctor recognized the man and knew he had been faking it, as he just saw him in the hospital a few weeks earlier. He was handed over to police.
After sentencing, this man could face up to nine months in jail with a $10,000 fine.
If you are going to bail out of paying a restaurant, at least do it at a place you can’t afford. Faking the heart attack is too risky, and not worth the time and needles at the hospital. I would suggest the “Oh, I left my wallet in the car” move. Works like a charm. This one is good for those who actually drive a car, though. For the others, there is the “ditch and run like the wind” tactic.

As you can see, I’m here and back working on Blogosis. I’ve been away for about 3 - 4 months now, and I just felt it was time to get back on track. You’ll probably notice, though, that Blogosis isn’t the same.
I’ve transitioned to a news/magazine style blog. This allows for a lot more freedom in the overall design and topics covered on Blogosis. I’m no longer just covering the topic of blogs and blogging alone, although that will still remain core to Blogosis and always will. However, I’m am spreading out the expertise of Blogosis to cover a vast range of topics from entertainment, politics, gaming and more. It is due to the fact that I am breaking away from just the blogging blogger niche, and into an alternative and opinionated source of news in blogging format.
The blog gives freedom to express one’s opinion and ideas, while news sources need to be factual and informational. There is no entertainment value to the news which is why I am here to change that. Opinion is full of entertainment and emotion.
So with that being said and done, I’d like to open the doors of Blogosis once again.
If anyone would like to join the team here at Blogosis (so far, it is just me), feel free to jump aboard. You get a shiny new @blogosis.com email, access to review current news with an opinion, let your voice be heard, and when advertising bonuses start rolling in, trust me when I say you will get a big piece of cake. Eventually, I plan to make Blogosis big enough to have its own office full of staff. Shiny.
E-mail me if you want in at contact@justindupre.com.
