MAKING MONEY OFF THE (BRAIN) DEAD

Some nut in Russia who had beeen scamming idiots with claims that he could resurrect the dead was sentenced to 11 years of hard labour last week. Grigory Grabovoy was found guilty of 11 cases of fraud including a case in which a a woman paid Grabovoy 118,000 Rubles (over $5,000) to resurrect her two dead sons. "He used a special method of influencing people distressed by the loss of relatives or the illness of loved ones," read the judge in the decision. Despite the verdict Grabovoy’s supporters continue to claim that he has special healing powers and was unfairly persecuted. (Reuters)
