A New Jersey construction worker secretly claimed a $24 MILLION lottery jackpot without telling his coworkers. He had been buying tickets together with them for years as a group. He told them he was taking time off work for foot surgery. He had actually quit to collect his winnings. A year later they found out. – Americo Lopes was a Portuguese immigrant living in Elizabeth New Jersey. – He worked as a construction worker and had been buying Mega Millions lottery tickets every week as part of a five-man work syndicate with his colleagues for years. – In November 2009 he claimed a $38.5 MILLION Mega Millions jackpot and chose the lump sum payout of $24 MILLION after taxes. – He told his coworkers he needed foot surgery and would be taking time off work. He never went back. – For nearly a year none of his coworkers knew what had happened to him. – Then one of them discovered the truth – Lopes had claimed the jackpot that their group had won together and kept every dollar. – Five coworkers sued him in 2010. They provided evidence in court of their longstanding arrangement to pool money and split any winnings equally. The group had been playing together for years. – Lopes argued the winning ticket was purchased with his own personal money and had nothing to do with the syndicate. He said the group arrangement had ended before the winning draw. – The jury did not believe him. They ruled in favour of his five coworkers and ordered Lopes to hand over $20 MILLION, leaving him with just $4 MILLION of his original $24 MILLION payout. – He had also already spent a significant portion. – He had bought a million-dollar home and moved out of his working class Elizabeth neighbourhood within weeks of the win. – His coworkers each received approximately $4 MILLION after the court order. A construction worker secretly claimed a $24 MILLION jackpot his work group had won together, told his colleagues he needed foot surgery, and quietly moved into a million dollar house. A jury gave $20 MILLION of it back to the people he stole it from.

A man invented a $2.5 MILLION crime spree, sold it to Hollywood and charged $30,000 per speech to explain how he did it. It was all lies. > Frank Abagnale claimed he spent 5 years as a teenage fugitive. > Impersonating a Pan Am pilot, a Harvard trained doctor and a Louisiana attorney general while forging $2.5 MILLION in bad checks across 26 countries. > Steven Spielberg turned it into a 2002 blockbuster starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. > It became one of the highest grossing films of that year. > Broadway turned it into a musical. > The FBI hired him as a consultant. > AARP named him their official Fraud Watch Ambassador. > He charged between $20,000 and $30,000 per speaking engagement for decades telling audiences how he pulled it all off. > For 40 years nobody seriously questioned any of it. > Then in 2020 a journalist named Alan Logan spent three years pulling every public record prison document newspaper archive and court file he could find. > Pan Am's own security department told a journalist as early as 1978 "This never happened. You don't forget $2.5 MILLION in bad checks." > Prison records showed Abagnale was behind bars for most of the years he claimed to be a fugitive. > The Georgia hospital had no record of him. > The Louisiana attorney general's office had no record of him. > His only confirmed crime was check fraud totalling less than $1,500. > Logan's conclusion the entire story was not embellished but fabricated. > Abagnale had not committed the con by impersonating pilots and doctors. > He committed it by convincing Hollywood, the FBI and the entire world that he had. The most valuable skill Frank Abagnale ever had was the ability to make people so entertained by a story that they forgot to verify it. That skill made him MILLIONS legally.
