I just wonder that how far some people can go for money. In a investigation story they were showing in the TV how one couple tried to get one hundred thousand doller. They were trying to get those money from insurance. So, for this they did dig up one dead body from a cemetery and put it on a driving sit of a car. Then they burnd up the car with that body. After that the husband gone underground and the wife said that person was her husband who died in the car accident and claimed for the insurance money. When the DNA result and did not match with her husband DNA with the dead body then only police started to study the case and search for the truth. Atlast they both got aressted and are now in the jail. This is disgustiing, how some people can go so crazy after money. What do you think about this story and what is your opinion about money.

Boy they must have been extremely desperate either that or extremely stupid, any sane person would logically think it through and with all the dna and science nowadays their lies would be found out straight away! Bizarre that they should go to these lengths. Sure we all need money but most of us are sane enough NOT to go to those lengths LOL!

Good that they are arrested finally, but how much time of the police should have been wasted there digging into the case. They Should definetly be punished in such a way that some one in the future should be afraid of even thinking about this kind of act. I condemn these kind of acts. What made them do this is secondary, law has got nothing to do with their problems or their sufferings. Law should be maintained and equal treated for all. I am not that crazy for money. I have read about once case in India where the culprit claimed that he wont a Us $1 Billion lottery. He said he was going to setup some companies in and around the city where he was living and most of the financiers came forward to lend him a helping hand by providing him huge amount of debts. Finally this guy fled from the country and by the time police finished investigation he made merry out of that money. He wasnt able to clear atleast 10% of the debts he owe, Finally the loosers where the financiers. These kind of acts should be seriously taken and public should be aware of such of kind of people.

Now this is rediculous. Those people also who were giving money to that fraud should be careful. They should ask some proof of starting the company.

There is a chinese saying literally translated as "Money can cause ghost to drive away devils". In other words, it just means Money can do wonders. It is because of money that many unfortunate things happen on earth and crimes committed. Money is one big motivator as it is essential for survival. Everything in daily lives need money, especially the poor and desperato. Without money, there is no food, and a hungry man is an angry man. An angry man will lose his sanity and go crazy. That's how far poeple can go for money. LOL.

Wow, that is going incredibly far to get money. I've been obsessed with money lately because I don't have any. I think it's easier to look at moeny in a more rational way when you have enough of it.

It is sad that our society pushes some people to go to such extremes to get money for the troubles that they face. Not enough help and support for couples and family and just people in general when they have a real need. What they did was wrong, must we need to see how to fix things so that this does not happen anymore.

Ohh myyy that's gross !! I would never, ever be a party to that kind of thing .. it's just too awful .. I'd rather be in complete poverty (well I practically am already!) .. than ever try and get money illegally .. I just wouldn't be able to sleep at night .. (hmm and I already have sleep problems) .. I once worked behind the police station door as a civilian volunteer .. I think everyone should do at least 6 months voluntary work .. there'd be so much less crime going on because folks would see just how easy it is to get caught ... These days the forensics folk can quickly and easily pinpoint just who did what and when .. it ain't worth it folks .. so don't do the crime ..

Good grief! In way I wonder what drove them to this madness. Was it pure greed? Or did they need the money for a life saving surgery? If a child's life was a stake, I can understand the desperation, but for the simple want of money and pure greed? NO. Then I am glad they are in jail.

So disgusting mannar! The problem didn't end at that point, I'm afraid that they can deceive other people and take their money on the future. I feel sorrow for that and wondering like you is money deserves all that, I don't think so.

I think every man has a limit which he follow but he can't handle that limit than brake all the rules for money. For example - A man work to hard but his family not happy with their income his wife always comet to him than he person try to earn extra money this type he goes out his limit and in this he do anything .

There are so many things like this happening everyday. People are nowadays ready to do anything for money. In India there was a bomb blast in a local train in Mumbai. All the victims were payed compensation. One poor couple took a body and claimed it to be their father's. Ultimately the real sons of the person came and the bluff was called. But the real sons refused to press charges agains the couple because it was done due to abject poverty. Then there are so many cases in India where people are made to amputate their limbs to claim insurance. The money is shared between the hospitals, the insurance agents and the claimants. But we see only these big crimes. There are so many things being done in order to get a little more money. Today money seems to have occuppied the highest place in people's mind. Things like honesty, fair practice etc have gone out of the window. This is the sure route to a more corrupt and criminal society.

People navigate in the internet in a discussion homepage just to win a couple cents per comment! How crazy is that!! =P In a serious note, I've saw cases of people who murdered their superiors to get their jobs. Not just a couple times, but more like several times in my local newspapers.
