A Man stages heart attacks 20 times to avoid paying restaurant bills Ides J. from Lithuania visited several restaurants in Spain before he was arrested and sentenced to 42 days in prison. A man named Ides J. from Lithuania was recently arrested in Spain for repeatedly feigning heart attacks in numerous restaurants across the country. His modus operandi involved ordering exorbitantly priced dishes and then collapsing on the floor, pretending to experience a heart attack. Through this scheme, he successfully avoided paying his bills, until the staff at one restaurant alerted the authorities. Y, aged 30, pleaded guilty to 20 counts of fraud and confessed during his investigation that he resorted to such tactics to fund his alcohol and gambling addictions. He would visit upscale establishments like Lobster and Whiskey, order multiple dishes and alcoholic beverages, and once he had finished his meal, he would dramatically collapse, signaling for help.

What creativity forges not the human mind! :rolleyes:
Not really. There was a British TV sitcom that used the same idea more than 40 years ago and that was based on real life scenarios. Only fools and horses was the sitcom. "Arnie, a jeweller who retired early on health grounds, sells Del and his mates some gold chains but then says he wants them back for a previous customer. However he will ensure that he gets double the price to satisfy Del and his friends. As he is selling the chains to the other customer, Mr. Stavros, he collapses with a heart attack and is taken away, along with the money and the chains, by two ambulance men. However, it is a con. They are not real ambulance drivers but Arnie's sons, helping him relieve punters of their money"
