Bodybuilder busted for disability fraud after wife posts pictures of his transformati

Which one of you ****ers was this?!?!?!

https://www.wfla.com/news/crime/body...cials-say/amp/


TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A New York man was arrested for fraudulently taking disability benefits after his bodybuilder wife posted pictures of him lifting weights on her Instagram page, Attorney General Letitia James said in a news release Friday.

From at least 2013 up until 2020, Anthony Ragusa received more than $200,000 in disability benefits from the Social Security Administration while owning a limousine business in New Hyde Park on Long Island, James said.

On his disability application form, James said Ragusa falsely claimed he could not work because of injuries he had suffered during a fall while working as an electrician in 2013. Ragusa alleged that the pain prevented him from bending over to put on shoes, walking for more than 15 minutes, and sitting for more than 30 minutes.

I knew a high school kid that was sue’ing our local county for allowing them to let an unauthorized petting zoo run it’s business
High school kid got attacked by a hyena , which he claimed caused nerve damage in his arm
I think it was a 1.5-2 mil law suit that he won
While the suit was going on, this dumbass was in the gym pressing 300+

If there is a way to not work and get paid I can personally guarantee its getting abused. I used to work in worker's comp and you wouldn't believe how bad it is. I'd guess that at least half of my claims that went over 6 months were either exaggerations or were just straight up fraud from the get go. Some people hate working so much that they will risk invasive surgery they don't need just for more time off. I'm being ded fukn srs

Tbh there are definitely back injuries that.could keep a guy from being able to consistently work 40 hour weeks, but still he able to lift weights.

Buddy of mine works in insurance, and you'd be surprised what happens. If you get injured and then claim disability, the insurance companies will legit hire private investigators to follow you and take photos to present in court. Some dude lost two fingers I think in an accident, and then said he couldn't do anything ever again. Yet during the settlement, there were photos of him lifting, riding his motorcycle, holding cups of coffee, and doing a bunch of chit with his supposed bum hand. Ended up getting a lesser settlement since he was doing all of those things while it was ongoing.

Some of them are legit, and maybe after a period of time you get better to the point where you can work. But an electrician pulling this stuff? not surprising in the least. You can't claim you can't walk for 15 minutes or sit for 30 minutes, and then be lifting to the point he did, that's obvious fraud.
