This Week in WTF - Company Exec Fakes Cancer to Avoid Fraud Charges

Howard Richman, formally of Boston company Biopure, FAKED HAVING CANCER so that he could avoid federal charges in securities lawsuit.

He even pretended to be his own doctor on the phone.

An AP article reports, "Richman had fabricated the story about having cancer in an attempt to wriggle out of a lawsuit filed in 2005 by the Securities and Exchange Commission and to avoid paying a large civil fine."

And now? After pleading guilty to obstruction of justice, he faces ten years in prison. What a FOOL!!! (hence the tarot card...)

Friggen Moron. Honestly, WTF?
