Who is this anamoly we call Jumpman? How is he able to do what he does and still survive after years of torment? It seems he feeds on the hate, growing with an intense passion to put unassuming members in their place.

Sadly this isn\'t uncommon.

Anyone remember the case of the Couple that faked their daughters cancer (it was back in  August 13, 2003) if i remember.
 

They even shaved her head saying it was the result of chemotherapy.  

Also there was a British man who did the same as the one in your Link.

Couple faked girl\'s cancer

AP, Urbana, Ohio
Wednesday August 13, 2003
The Guardian

A man accused of helping his wife fake leukaemia in their seven-year-old daughter to obtain thousands of dollars in donations pleaded guilty to a count of endangering children on Monday.
Robert Milbrandt also acknowledged, without admitting guilt, that there is enough evidence to convict him of theft. He faces up to six years in prison and a $12,500 (£8,000) fine.

His wife Teresa pleaded guilty last week to charges of endangering children and theft, prosecutor Nick Selvaggio told the court. She faces a maximum 14 years in prison and a $35,000 fine.

The Milbrandts are due to be sentenced on September 24.

Police said the couple fooled 65 people and businesses into giving them up to $31,000 to help them treat their daughter\'s fake illness.

Teresa Milbrandt shaved her daughter\'s hair and gave her sleeping pills to make it appear she was receiving chemotherapy, made her wear a protective mask and put her in counselling to prepare for death.

Robert Milbrandt has said his wife handled all doctor visits and medical bills, and he believed her when she said their daughter had cancer.



and then there is this

Woman who faked cancer in jail again

Tuesday, October 31, 2000

By DAVID FISHER
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER




SULTAN -- In 1997, Charlene Zimmermann started living a lie, police say.

It led her to accept an outpouring of cash and gifts from people in the small Iowa town where she lived.

She appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show and videotaped an emotional farewell to her husband and three children.

She even shaved her hair and cut herself, all to feign a case of terminal liver cancer that, it turned out, she didn\'t have.

Today, Zimmermann is in the Snohomish County Jail, in trouble with the law again for a fantasy that apparently went too far.

Sultan police arrested Zimmermann early Sunday morning on a warrant in the home she bought two weeks ago with her husband, Chuck, and three young children. The warrant, from Dallas County, Iowa, accuses her of breaking the terms of her probation.

A Dallas County court sentenced Zimmermann in April to two years probation and ordered her to pay $1,400 in restitution after she pleaded no contest to third-degree theft for accepting gifts under false pretenses.

Chuck Zimmermann said he has written permission from the Iowa probation authorities who granted his wife the right to move. And she has been seeing a psychiatrist regularly since her plea, as she is required to do.

"Nobody will tell me what\'s going on," he said last night.

According to newspaper reports, people in Waukee responded with gifts when Zimmermann said she was dying of cancer. Her family was unaware she was feigning her illness. In an apology , Zimmermann attributed the liver cancer story to "my mental illness."

Chuck Zimmermann said he is talking to lawyers to try to get his wife released from jail.

ooseven, towards the end of that article they talk about the case you\'re speaking of.

Both cases are from the same town that has about 11,500 people.  The mom got 6 1/2 years while the dad got 4 years 11 months for what they did to their daughter.

yeah just noticed that myself.

Find it strange that people still think that they can pull this kind of sick con.

Can\'t find the atricle about the UK man who was found out, He conned his Freinds family and co-workers to raise money to send him to a Specialist clinic in the states.

Thinks it was June 2003 but cant find it on the news sites.

p.s. moved it to current forum for you ;)
