A student persuaded by his friend to get his legs amputated for a $1.3 million insurance scam wound up getting only $7,200 that he now has to return: prosecutors

Zhang, 23, soaked his feet for more than 10 hours in dry ice so they'd get so badly frostbitten that he'd need a double amputation, prosecutors said.

I'd have to be in extreme poverty for me to contemplate amputating my legs, and that's a last resort.

On January 26, 2023, Liao and Zhang rode around Taipei on a motorbike at night, wanting to present the claim that Zhang was afflicted with frostbite while riding the vehicle in the late evening, investigators said.

The weather on the night of January 26 was also nowhere close to below freezing, with its coldest temperature at about 42 degrees Fahrenheit, prosecutors added.

"As Taiwan is a subtropical region, cases of severe frostbite requiring amputation are unheard of due to natural climatic conditions," the bureau said in its statement.

It was near impossible to convict scammers of fraud because jurors had a hard time believing that people would willingly engage in self-mutilation.
