If you’re going to lie and say that you’re blind, you better do your best to make people believe it. This guy didn’t do that. And he’s now serving five years in prison after being found guilty on numerous counts of fraud.
John Caltabiano was injured on the job while working for a cement company back in 2006. He claimed that he was disabled because of the accident and essentially blind. He said that he just sat around the house listening to the television all day because he couldn’t do anything else. If he tried to get up and move around the house, he’d bump into things and injure himself. That sounds like it sucks! But John wouldn’t know, though, because he was making it all up.
While John did suffer vision loss in one eye, he was far from being completely blind as he claimed. And once the feds got a tip and did some investigating, they recorded John walking around with no issues, reading and even DRIVING. C’mon, John! Driving?! As we said earlier, you at least have to TRY to make people believe you!
