You need to be two people to pull that off, and the corpse must be wearing beach attire and shades. The shades are important. /s
...and it has to be the weekend.
Weekend at Chase Manhattan.
Your honor I object.
She was only looking to defraud the bank of less than $4k USD.
Wheeling in her deceased uncle to a fucking bank branch is easily worth at least a $5k USD fraudulent loan.
I rest my my case.
As far as i can tell the loan was for around 4.5 months average salary for Brazil. Its a windfall but not a "retire early" windfall.
Anyone remember those two guys who took a dead family member to withdraw money from the post office? Can't believe she thought she would get away with it.
This just happened in Ohio too: https://fox8.com/news/i-team/listen-woman-admits-on-jail-call-she-took-dead-man-to-bank-to-withdraw-cash/
Why was taking the corpse their first plan. It's seems this type of fraud would be a lot easier by just impersonating the deceased person. It not like the deceased would be able to sign anything or share recall any accounts numbers.
The post office guys I think wanted the deceased's pension and they were a lot younger so I doubt that would have worked.
