A 23-year-old man in Taiwan had his legs amputated to receive a $1.3 million insurance payout, prosecutors said. Just days before, Zhang bought several expensive life insurance, travel insurance, and accident insurance policies, prosecutors said. Local media, citing prosecutors, reported that Zhang had claimed $7,200 from one insurer, but this money would be seized. The department's chief inspector, Tom Hill, said an increasing cost of living may push people to consider insurance fraud.
