I don't see how vehicle damage could be 'faked' like injuries.

The thing that was stupid about Ragu was that he knew the other guy caught the collision on camera and that he was going to deny responsibility, but went ahead a filed a claim anyways? Also, I think the video went viral before he would have had a chance to ever visit a clinic where he could get checked for injuries, even fake ones.

So I think there's another "collision" that he's claimed which is the source of the fraud charge.

What he did not realize was that it was gonna be posted online. If only the victim knew about it, then, he would most likely get away.

It wouldn't have had to be posted online, the other guy would have shown it to his insurer to prove he wasn't responsible, so any collision claim would have been at on Ragu's driving record. That's isn't a great way to go about running a fraud racket.

Good call, but don't know how fast the insurer would respond to the video. I think what really got this case moving was the public outcry and finally the involvement with the police. I'm not sure if the police would've investigated his other cases if it wasn't for the outcry and the actions of those at 4chan. I think the police got involved only because they didn't want somebody from 4chan to do something stupid, which they were close to doing.

So who knows? <<shrug>>

If his parents/relatives/friends/fellow scammers own a physiotherapy clinic (and I've heard a rumour his parents do) I'm sure they could have gotten him in for an appointment the same day.

The video is meaningless, in this context. What matters is that there was a cop there who could say that there were two little oopsies on the bumper, not that it was accordianed.

If he was injured, it sure didn't look like it in the video. What a idiot! Bone headed move of 2012 for sure.
 
Yeah..that guy is an idiot AND a scammer...
 
All hail 4chan.

He probably put it in immediately after the incident not knowing that it was going to go viral. But then again, he doesnt seem very bright and could have put it in after the fact.

He is dumb hence why he called the cops

I would think that's for the 'destruction' of the other driver's property in the course of his crime, no? I don't see any charges here, that are applicable to the false report, unless they're all wrapped up in the fraud charges.
 
I was just referring to what the article printed.

that being said, this is the best part of the article

"Note: This article has been edited from a previous version that said Yogarajah was driving a Honda Acura. " - haha

The only reason why I'm even crediting The Star with getting the charges themselves right, is that they are the same ones listed by other media outlets. Given their 'efforts' on the previous story (not Kenzie's), I refuse to credit them with any more accuracy than that.

I don't know how injury claims work, I'm just assuming it would be something like vehicle damage where the car has to be taken to an approved body shop after the claim is approved. If that's the case then there's no way the injury fraud could all get done before the vid went viral, but like I say; I don't know.
