Just how stupid are these people

From Workforce Management Magazine comes this story of an idiot who was getting workman's comp:
All in a Day's Work: No Comp for Crack Dealer
Continually selling crack cocaine amounts to employment and thus is sufficient cause to terminate permanent total disability compensation, Ohio�s Supreme Court has ruled.

The high court�s decision December 21 in State ex rel. Lynch vs. Industrial Commission of Ohio upheld a March 1998 finding by Ohio�s Industrial Commission that Henry Lynch�s ongoing crack-cocaine enterprise constituted �sustained remunerative employment.�

The Industrial Commission terminated Lynch�s benefits, and an appeals court earlier this year upheld the termination of benefits.
It may seem so easy to game the system but you need to realize that they system is so much bigger than you and has such a longer reach that although you will get away with it for a while, you will always get caught... Lynch had a sweet deal, fucked up and blew it. Posted by DaveH at January 9, 2008 8:05 PM
