Neil Hopper took nearly £500,000 from insurers after falsely claiming he needed amputation because of sepsis

This is the most bizarre thing I have ever read.

    The movie Armless is about a man who secretly wants his arms removed for his own emotional reasons. It’s actually a really good movie about our inexplicable, often unreachable needs, and how we can accept and live with them in a healthy way. It’s presently incomplete on bittorrent and cannot be downloaded, would love a fresh copy.

            Yes, I am certain. You might need to listen a bit closer; the English audio is still present, but it gets ducked when the Italian dubbing comes in. Or maybe you speak Italian and didn’t realize it!

        Y’all didn’t read very far didja?

        At Truro crown court on Thursday, Judge James Adkin heard that Hopper was identified after investigations into Marius Gustavson, who ran the website. Gustavson was jailed for life with a minimum term of 22 years at the Old Bailey last year for leading an extreme body modification ring. It carried out male castration, penis removal and other procedures on people as young as 16.

        Normally I don’t kink shame but if people are ending up on lists from this… good?
