I don’t remember this being a big story in PH back in 2017. Or maybe I just missed it.
It’s going viral there now after news broke out about some whistleblower who “died of COVID” while in prison.

I'll take two, please! I am pretty sure I am gonna fuck up my first new life, so I would love to have a spare.

So apparently it’s not just one inmate. At least a couple of drug lords have “died” in prison. Hmm.

Its easiest to die for real, you don't have to live in fear

I hated my 9-5 job at the law firm. So I faked my own death. Now I'm a ladyboy in Bangkok and couldn't be happier.

The downside (?) of this is death certificates from the Philippines are no longer accepted here. If you happen to really die there, 1/2
Sm9yCg
your loved ones will have to arrange your corpse to be moved overseas for a valid death certificate.

I read that book a couple years back. Fascinating.

Olivia Newton-John's boyfriend is thought to have faked his death. Missing off a boat 12 yrs ago, reportedly "found" in Mexico recently.

Thanks for the info, I'm saving it for future consideration.

Have you heard how people are talking to each other these days? Most of them are already dead inside

I thought everyone fantasied about faking their death and living on a tropical island? No?

Faking your death isn't interesting, how to get a proper identity is the thing you really want to know if you need to start a new life.
AvatarTommyBee
My thought, too. If you are clever: identity theft.
Oprean
that's what I heard, people who get their documents mixed up and "die" by accident in America I heard have a hard time

i'm guessing you pre-purchase your new house, car, boat, etc through a trust thats under an alias using estate lawyers after that cash money

"bargain price of around £350" ...god damn monster I ain't givin you no tree fiddy!
samanthadlcruz
$350 to fake someones death? in the Philippines you can have them actually killed for much less than that.

Yeah but then you're stuck in the Philippines
somethingslightlyclever
That’s not really a bad thing.
Wikipedo
The people there are super nice and the scenery and food are amazing. I can think of many places I'd wanna be less than there
whipcity
I love the Phils. Can't wait to go back. Wonderful people.
RatoMolhado
No if you get a new Philippine ID and passport, but for that you'll have to enlarge your combo for £50 more.
htapoicosilus
This passwort is worth nothing. You will be rejected a lot, I guess. If shit hits the fan you're just someone from the philippines
circlejerkofhate
Also you're stuck with being non asian on the passport of a third world asian country, super suspicious. Good luck getting through customs
circlejerkofhate
That passport will get you to isreal or Singapore without a visa and Qatar with an evisa, and thats your best options i wouldn't want 1/2
circlejerkofhate
A new identity where the best countries i could emigrate to without arising too much suspicion are those ones 2/2
TwoCheese
Singapore sounds cool
circlejerkofhate
But the whole country is one city, its like living in new York and never leaving which is cool for some i guess. Doha Qatar is also cool 1/2

I’d imagine it’s easier to fake your death than live afterwards. Passport, credit card, etc... gonna be hard to get once you’re “dead”
somethingslightlyclever
Well if you fake your death I’m going to assume you plan on living a simple life. Not gonna book an international road trip
nopost
That's how they get you! Cheap fake death, but it's expensive to get set up with a new identity
ImNotStalkingYouBTWYoureOutOfMilk
Swiss bank accounts are not connected to any singular identity, even if you die, the account will never close
VeryUniqueName
There's street vendors openly advertising document forgery in the Philippines. At least there was a few years ago when I lived there.

Lots of countries will sell you citizenship. A lot more than 350 GBP though. Maybe 1000x or 10,000x more.
smuggledmuggle
It’s probably part of the more expensive “deals”

God damn microtransactions

Depends on why you're faking your death. Faking ones death is technically not illegal in the US.

In the us & Western Europe, sure. But large chunks of cash can buy a lot of things, including passport officials in some countries.

It costs 900k to buy an EB-5 visa into America.

They'll actually pay you $350 to kill yourself. All you gotta do is pretend to be some other person while you do it.
pyr0chaos
Wow a whole 350 dollars to kill myself. I cant wait to spend it!
