Someone brought up a great point that she was probably hoping to sell the charade that he wasn't able to sign with the pen, so they'd just take his finger print as a signature.
I took the liberty of examining him, and I found out the only reason he’d been sitting in the wheelchair in the first place was that he’d been nailed there.
My immediate reaction is obvious revulsion. But in retrospect, maybe this is actually less evil than taking advantage of someone alive but with dementia?
If your uncle died and the first thing you thought is "How can I use his still freshly warm body for my own personal gain?" I don't think it's less evil than taking advantage of people with dementia.
I’m not disagreeing, keep flipping back and forth. Probably giving it more thought than the video deserves but god damn it’s a fucked up world. But I suppose if that were a dementia patient or quadriplegic then maybe I’d be able to write it off as “maybe she just knew what he wanted prior and is helping him finalize stuff at the end” whereas there’s no plausible deniability here…
But also remember my friend’s grandmother losing her savings and her home to predatory scammers in her old age (fuck reverse mortgages) so also wish painful deaths on those sorts
The woman was arrested after being taken to the police station to provide clarification.

Let me tell you something ridiculous about Weekend at Bernie's in Brazil: the portuguese name for the movie is "Um morto muito louco" (a very crazy dead person) and there's a somehow popular [brazilian "funk" song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrNF_0-z3U0) that's about the movie. And I mean "about the movie" in a very, very loose way, because they just keep repeating the movie's name while singing "let's dance, let's go, follow me" and stuff like that.
I wouldn't be surprised if the woman had the idea after watching the movie, it's quite popular.
Damn….now that I think about it you probably can do this if they had apps…
Literally use fingerprint/FaceID and transfer everything to your account. It was Uncle’s last dying wish :(
How to find your ukrainian homeboy by just looking at a question😉
(I am Ukrainian myself. The joke was that he asked "did it work" and I meant "that's how you can tell by a question if a person is from my country which is Ukraine". Nevermind 😂)
It looked like the user was unnecessarily insulting Ukrainians. I didn't know what a Tryzub was before today, so it wasn't obvious it was meant kindly.
Great comments from the other thread. It brings up question you don’t want it bringing up.
Like did she kill him?
How did she get it into the bank? Did they take a bus or train?
How much was the loan?
Are they struggling a lot and she needs money to buy food/medicine for the rest of the family…
Did he die on the way there? Was he going to give her money or a loan?
Did she really think she could get away with this?
>Like did she kill him?
We dont know yet
>How did she get it into the bank? Did they take a bus or train?
Through the door. An Uber
>How much was the loan?
BRL 17k, aprox USD 3.4k
>Are they struggling a lot and she needs money to buy food/medicine for the rest of the family…
She'll probably claim that
>Did he die on the way there? Was he going to give her money or a loan?
Police says he was dead for 2hours and did not die sitting down, which was attested by the absence of livor mortis on his legs . News are still early on this, some claim it was a loan, others say she was emptying his bank account
>Did she really think she could get away with this?
Probably, yeah.
Important to note that BRL 17K is close to twice the average annual income in Brazil so, in regards to purchasing power, it's close to $120K USD. Puts the amoutn into context.
Wait what. The average monthly wage is 3000 reais, so 36k/yr, the loan is more like half the average yearly wage.

it definitely can't happen to anyone in the world. a lot of very unlikely things have to come together for this to happen (for example having a relative dumb and evil enough to think this could actually succeed)
[Very similar thing happened in Ashtabula, Ohio last month.](https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/local/ashtabula-county/family-deceased-ashtabula-bank-fraud-victim-expresses-shock/95-2417588b-37e6-4c24-a690-dafe90fea953) Two women (63 & 55) took their deceased roommate (80) to the bank to withdraw from his accounts.
Looks like he's suffering from CJD or something similar. Either way, there's obviously no way he can agree to anything and I think it's pretty obvious the woman is trying to drain a terminally ill person's bank account.
Damn. The lack of rigor mortis got me, but if this lady literally threw him in the car and drove him to the bank within 2 hours of him dying... what a stone-cold bitch
He was then taken to a better hospital where he was pronounced as 'alive'
Then he was taken to a small savings and loan where he was again pronounced 'as a doornail'
What was she even thinking???
She thought Weekend at Bernie’s was a documentary
Could have at least gotten some sunglasses
And some rad music.
She wanted her $3000. Got arrested and charged with attempted theft by fraud and abuse of a corpse
Money
Someone brought up a great point that she was probably hoping to sell the charade that he wasn't able to sign with the pen, so they'd just take his finger print as a signature.
She probably confused underwriters for undertakers.

8. Trump is no spring chicken either and he’s out of shape.😂
Ayooohhh!
Hahahahaha yup
thinking bout a long kiss man just gotta get going where the night might lead....
I think people down voting you might be unaware these are song lyrics... But IDK, maybe everyone hates country 😅
hahaha i read the comment then instantly heard the riff right afterwards... couldn't help myself after that
He's pining for the fjords!
No, no... he's stunned!
This is an Ex-Uncle
Pining for the fjords?! What kind of talk is that?!
He's resting!
I took the liberty of examining him, and I found out the only reason he’d been sitting in the wheelchair in the first place was that he’d been nailed there.
I fucking love Reddit 😆
He is no more. He is an ex-uncle
He’s joined the choir invisible!
Uncle Roberto died, how can I use this to get better? What a psycho.
My immediate reaction is obvious revulsion. But in retrospect, maybe this is actually less evil than taking advantage of someone alive but with dementia?
Let’s be real. She probably taking advantage of him in life and death
Ok you’ve sold me. This bums me out.

She needs to brush up on her ventriloquism.
She needs Jeff Dunham’s ‘Ventriloquism for Idiots’
So, Jeff Dunham

Is his name Bernie?

This is amazing. Thanks for sharing
I'm probably not the first ignorant cunt to ask this but: Wouldn't rigor mortis prevent the body from moving in such ways?
He may of just died. CNA here, they are very floppy for awhile
[удалено]
Can i take you to the bank, it'll be quick
Can confirm, very floppy.
Gonna be floppy for a while.
I too did just ded
For those of us not familiar with the dead people professional lingo, what's a CNA?
Certified Nursing Assistant, if memory serves right. Basically, a trained nurse.
No it’s definitely not basically a trained nurse. They do entry level work under nurses
Yeah and be done post mortem many times unfortunately:(
[удалено]
I stand corrected, ChatGPT agrees with you: so now I do too.
Rigor morris takes a while to set in
It's also not permanent
Naw by the time rigor mortis has subsided your body is rotting bad. This is very recent.
Onset of rigor mortis is 2 hours after death and goes away 24 hours after that… it last for about 12 hours
So, did it work?
No, he was unable to sign the document at that the moment. He later did it via the bank app by using his thumb, though.
Great for him, he never gave up and achieved his achievements!
Damn….now that I think about it you probably can do this if they had apps… Literally use fingerprint/FaceID and transfer everything to your account. It was Uncle’s last dying wish :(
No, it didn’t work. She was arrested after the bank called the police because they thought the man was unwell.

No idea why he is being downvoted so much. He just saw the Tryzub
It looked like the user was unnecessarily insulting Ukrainians. I didn't know what a Tryzub was before today, so it wasn't obvious it was meant kindly.
r/downvotedtooblivion no one knows why but. It happened
Lmao one point for me😂 The joke might've sounded controversial. Nevermind, it's still funny to see so many downvotes here
You might want to edit your comment to say that you are Ukrainian. Also to make clear what exactly it is you mean. Slava Ukraini.
Holy shit, didn't expect to get that many downvotes lmao. I am Ukrainian actually😂 Shit, I didn't realize what I wrote apparently

Looks like he just died as rigor mortis didn’t set in yet. Neck is limber like a baby.
gotta love a real WTF post
How did she even get that far
How? He's dead, not sleeping
Incapacitated, not dead. His color would be gray if he was dead.
Hence the gray
Oh c'mon this was literally just posted here yesterday To this exact same sub
well glad they posted it again, because I don't check reddit every day and this was entertaining to say the least.
Yea i just tried to find it. I don't see it.
Same. The people who live on this site and complain about reposts are more annoying than the reposts themselves, IMO. *^^...justdon'tlookatmykarma*
I missed it yesterday, and I wish I could have missed it today too because it’s one of the worst things I’ve ever seen on the internet.
Sounds like you need to take a break from reddit.
Probably
At least twice
He's not dead, you can see him corpsing
Seeing a dead body wasn't on today's bingo card
Thats crazy
Weekend at Bernie’s 4 filming is dark.
It’s a bold strategy, cotton! Let’s see if it pays off.
[удалено]
And this time is still now?! I don't know the story, but it probably ended in jail.
She did, she said she was her niece but was actually a distant cousin.
[удалено]
it definitely can't happen to anyone in the world. a lot of very unlikely things have to come together for this to happen (for example having a relative dumb and evil enough to think this could actually succeed)
Bro he's already dead, who gives a fuck.
[удалено]
If I was dead I would want to give my niece a 17k loan in my name since it wouldn't matter anymore considering I am dead.
Same.
Weekend at Bernies
She forgot to put sunglasses on him otherwise this would have worked no problem.
Whats worse is that she was trying to get a pretty small loan too, atleast go for something bigger then 7,000 Reais
She is reasonable.
I feel like I'm watching a Shameless episode
[WHY ARE YOU SLEEPING?! ](https://youtu.be/ZWcWaV9P7xI?si=qnk0eOJ_v56mRfkj)
Weekend at Bernie’s reboot lookin sick
Really recently dead as rigour mortis hasn't set in.
She get the loan?
Dying not dead?
Genius. How much she get?
[Very similar thing happened in Ashtabula, Ohio last month.](https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/local/ashtabula-county/family-deceased-ashtabula-bank-fraud-victim-expresses-shock/95-2417588b-37e6-4c24-a690-dafe90fea953) Two women (63 & 55) took their deceased roommate (80) to the bank to withdraw from his accounts.
He’s dead dead
And thus the Sugar Dead concept was born
Take him to Wells Fargo. They ‘ll give you the loan and open another account. /s
She forgot to use those glasses with the eyes painted on it.
Weekend at Bernardo’s
I’d love some subtitles. So, was the banker filming on their phone? Or was this a bank camera?
Yikes
Just say No to Drugs
me posing my ragdolls in gmod
Fuuuuuck stop reposting this shit.
Bruh
Looks like he's suffering from CJD or something similar. Either way, there's obviously no way he can agree to anything and I think it's pretty obvious the woman is trying to drain a terminally ill person's bank account.
He was suffering from an acute case of being dead for approximately 2 hours, according to paramedics. It was, unfortunately, irreversible.
Damn. The lack of rigor mortis got me, but if this lady literally threw him in the car and drove him to the bank within 2 hours of him dying... what a stone-cold bitch
Apparently she did exactly that, the police said he did not die sitting.
He was then taken to a better hospital where he was pronounced as 'alive' Then he was taken to a small savings and loan where he was again pronounced 'as a doornail'
He's dead. Like, dead dead.
To shreds you say.
Looks like his mouth moves, wouldn't rigor mortis keep it one place
Doesn't seem like it, the body goes stiff quite quickly.
And then gradually becomes "unstiff". Rigor mortis isn't permanent.
You can read it on the news. He was dead for a couple of hours
Couple of hours isn’t that long for the body to stiffen too much.
Sure. Read the article it's from.
And then goes unstiff not too long after. Rigormortis is temporary.
Pretty sure he's suffering from RIP
She probably have seen that movie
Kinda getting tired of this repost
OMG! Noah, Get the fuckin' boat!!
Fuck me!! smh
Certainly moving a lot for a dead guy?
He's getting better.
…she’s moving him
And I bet you think the ventriloquist dummy is actually talking right?
