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. AdvertisementThe FBI estimates that an annual $400 to $700 from the average US family's insurance premiums goes to covering insurance fraud costs.

Downing Street referred requests for comment to the business ministry, which oversees Companies House, Britain’s public registry of companies. And, in most cases, if foreign companies purchased the property before 1999 or hold UK property in a trust they don’t need to publicly disclose the beneficial owners. The Cyprus-based company, A. Corp Trustee Limited, wasn’t listed on Britain’s new property register as of Tuesday morning. A listing on the UK’s new property register for Hanley Limited identifies the beneficial owner as a Swiss company called Pomerol Capital Sa. Ravellot also wasn’t on the new property register.

LONDON — A computer hacker who stole unreleased songs from British pop star Ed Sheeran and American rap artist Lil Uzi Vert has been sentenced to 18 months in prison, U.K. prosecutors said Friday. Adrian Kwiatkowski, 23, of Ipswich in southern England, hacked the artists’ cloud-based accounts and sold their songs on the dark web in exchange for cryptocurrency. It then identified the IP address of the device used to hack one of the accounts as his home address. After further investigation, Kwiatkowski was arrested by the City of London Police’s Intellectual Property Crime Unit in September 2019. “Cybercrime knows no borders, and this individual executed a complex scheme to steal unreleased music in order to line his own pockets,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L Bragg Jr said.
