My friend needs to fake his death for insurance money?

your friend sounds like a very hard worker and also very hott and even more also not an idiot. perhaps all he needs is a sugar momma to keep him in line and encourage him to live by financing his elite zombie van force. if no such woman of courage exist and the death fake fails and he survives the column of fire then he should take solace in that i...i mean he luvs sammiches and death fake is white collar prison crime not a federal pound u in the *** prison crime....isnt it? maybe someone should look into that.....

your friend is an idiot

You could do what Elvis did.

that is a HORRIBLE idea!
Tip 1: DON'T DO IT

that is illegal...........

not worth it. period.

now we know who you are... its only a matter of time before we catch your friend. But we will wait until he has faked his death before we get him and those involved and/or those who had knowlege of his intent. Be seeing you soon
signed the FBI (Feline Bureau of Investigation)

Don't do it...you'll get caught!!!

that's illegal and if you give him advice you and your friend could get serious jail time.because you are and assery to the crime.try to talk your friend out of it if he still wants to do it don't get involved with him.oh and by the way its called fraud.

Call the FBI, I think they could help you with Insurance fraud.

ummm... that is very dumb. dont do it, cuz you'll get caught... then you'll spend all your life in jail... and you'd wish you were really dead...

Your friend ought to prepare himself for a lengthy term in prison. Insurance fraud is a felony that is prosecuted vigorously. If he actually believes himself to be smarter than the collective intelligence of insurance fraud investigators he will be in for a rather unpleasant surprise.

What ya gonna do? What ya gonna do when they come for you?
Someone tried that here and it didn't work. He ran his car into the bay. He got caught as well he should have. You would be smart to not have anything to do with his bright idea.

tell him to get his tips from www.fbi.gov

Aiding in commission of a felony is a felony... hope you guys are cell-mates with Bubba and that he has a good time.

Is this serious? if so, your friend needs a smarter friend. Anyway, nice question. Ha.

NiccolÃ² Machiavelli
(1469-1527)
Life and Works

In 1498, NiccolÃ² Machiavelli began his career as an active politician in the independent city-state of Florence, engaging in diplomatic missions through France and Germany as well as Italy. After more than a decade of public service, he was driven from his post when the republic collapsed. Repeated efforts to win the confidence and approval of the new regime were unsuccessful, and Machiavelli was forced into retirement and a life of detached scholarship about the political process instead of direct participation in it. The books for which he is remembered were published only after his death.

Machiavelli originally wrote Principe Statue of Machiavelli (The Prince) (1513) in hopes of securing the favor of the ruling Medici family, and he deliberately made its claims provocative. The Prince is an intensely practical guide to the exercise of raw political power over a Renaissance principality. Allowing for the unpredictable influence of fortune, Machiavelli argued that it is primarily the character or vitality or skill of the individual leader that determines the success of any state. The book surveys various bold means of acquiring and maintaining the principality and evaluates each of them solely by reference to its likelihood of augmenting the glory of the prince while serving the public interest. It is this focus on practical success by any means, even at the expense of traditional moral values, that earned Machiavelli's scheme a reputation for ruthlessness, deception, and cruelty.

His Dell'arte della guerra (The Art of War) (1520) Machiavelli explains in detail effective procedures for the acquisition, maintenance, and use of a military force. Even in his more leisurely reflections on the political process, Machiavelli often wrote in a similar vein. The Discorsi sopra la prima Deca di Tito Livio (Discourses on Livy) (1531) review the history of the Roman republic, with greater emphasis on the role of fortune and a clear admiration for republican government. Here, too, however, Machiavelli's conception of the proper application of morality to practical political life is one that judges the skill of all participants in terms of the efficacy with which they achieve noble ends. Whatever the form of government, Machiavelli held, only success and glory really matter.

The Prince: Analyzing Power

It has been a common view among political philosophers that there exists a special relationship between moral goodness and legitimate authority. Many authors (especially those who composed mirror-of-princes books or royal advice books during the Middle Ages and Renaissance) believed that the use of political power was only rightful if it was exercised by a ruler whose personal moral character was strictly virtuous. Thus rulers were counseled that if they wanted to succeedâ€”that is, if they desired a long and peaceful reign and aimed to pass their office down to their offspringâ€”they must be sure to behave in accordance with conventional standards of ethical goodness. In a sense, it was thought that rulers did well when they did good; they earned the right to be obeyed and respected inasmuch as they showed themselves to be virtuous and morally upright.

It is precisely this moralistic view of authority that Machiavelli criticizes at length in his best-known treatise, The Prince. For Machiavelli, there is no moral basis on which to judge the difference between legitimate and illegitimate uses of power. Rather, authority and power are essentially coequal: whoever has power has the right to command; but goodness does not ensure power and the good person has no more authority by virtue of being good. Thus, in direct opposition to a moralistic theory of politics, Machiavelli says that the only real concern of the political ruler is the acquisition and maintenance of power (although he talks less about power per se than about â€œmaintaining the state.â€) In this sense, Machiavelli presents a trenchant criticism of the concept of authority by arguing that the notion of legitimate rights of rulership adds nothing to the actual possession of power. The Prince purports to reflect the self-conscious political realism of an author who is fully awareâ€”on the basis of direct experience with the Florentine governmentâ€”that goodness and right are not sufficient to win and maintain political office. Machiavelli thus seeks to learn and teach the rules of political power. For Machiavelli, power characteristically defines political activity, and hence it is necessary for any successful ruler to know how power is to be used. Only by means of the proper application of power, Machiavelli believes, can individuals be brought to obey and will the ruler be able to maintain the state in safety and security.

Machiavelli's political theory, then, represents a concerted effort to exclude issues of authority and legitimacy from consideration in the discussion of political decision-making and political judgement. Nowhere does this come out more clearly than in his treatment of the relationship between law and force. Machiavelli acknowledges that good laws and good arms constitute the dual foundations of a well-ordered political system. But he immediately adds that since coercion creates legality, he will concentrate his attention on force. He says, â€œSince there cannot be good laws without good arms, I will not consider laws but speak of armsâ€ (Machiavelli 1965, 47). In other words, the legitimacy of law rests entirely upon the threat of coercive force; authority is impossible for Machiavelli as a right apart from the power to enforce it. Consequently, Machiavelli is led to conclude that fear is always preferable to affection in subjects, just as violence and deception are superior to legality in effectively controlling them. Machiavelli observes that â€œone can say this in general of men: they are ungrateful, disloyal, insincere and deceitful, timid of danger and avid of profitâ€¦. Love is a bond of obligation which these miserable creatures break whenever it suits them to do so; but fear holds them fast by a dread of punishment that never passesâ€ (Machiavelli 1965, 62; translation altered). As a result, Machiavelli cannot really be said to have a theory of obligation separate from the imposition of power; people obey only because they fear the consequences of not doing so, whether the loss of life or of privileges. And of course, power alone cannot obligate one, inasmuch as obligation assumes that one cannot meaningfully do otherwise.

Concomitantly, a Machiavellian perspective directly attacks the notion of any grounding for authority independent of the sheer possession of power. For Machiavelli, people are compelled to obey purely in deference to the superior power of the state. If I think that I should not obey a particular law, what eventually leads me to submit to that law will be either a fear of the power of the state or the actual exercise of that power. It is power which in the final instance is necessary for the enforcement of conflicting views of what I ought to do; I can only choose not to obey if I possess the power to resist the demands of the state or if I am willing to accept the consequences of the state's superiority of coercive force. Machiavelli's argument in The Prince is designed to demonstrate that politics can only coherently be defined in terms of the supremacy of coercive power; authority as a right to command has no independent status. He substantiates this assertion by reference to the observable realities of political affairs and public life as well as by arguments revealing the self-interested nature of all human conduct. For Machiavelli it is meaningless and futile to speak of any claim to authority and the right to command which is detached from the possession of superior political power. The ruler who lives by his rights alone will surely wither and die by those same rights, because in the rough-and-tumble of political conflict those who prefer power to authority are more likely to succeed. Without exception the authority of states and their laws will never be acknowledged when they are not supported by a show of power which renders obedience inescapable. The methods for achieving obedience are varied, and depend heavily upon the foresight that the prince exercises. Hence, the successful ruler needs special training.

Where is he planning on running away to?? It better be far, far away, maybe someplace way down south...somewhere erhhmm hot as hell...and even then, they'll find him.

Sure, tell him to tie a brick to his leg and jump in the hudson river. then turn yourself in for assisting.

GEORGETOWN, Texas â€” Molly Daniels spent weeks surfing the Internet, gathering information for a bizarre and grisly plot of deception.

She learned how to burn a human body beyond recognition. She sought clues on ways to deceive arson investigators, and took meticulous steps to create a new identity for her husband.

Daniels then dug up a woman's corpse, staged a fiery car accident to fake the death of her husband, Clayton Daniels, and had him re-emerge as her new boyfriend. Authorities say the motives were a $110,000 life-insurance policy and a wish to hide Clayton Daniels from police.

Molly Daniels pleaded guilty last week to felony charges of insurance fraud and hindering apprehension and was sentenced to the maximum 20 years in prison. Clayton Daniels is awaiting trial on arson charges and also could face up to 20 years.

"This was a ghoulish, horrific crime," prosecutor Jane Starnes said at the sentencing hearing Thursday.

Molly Daniels, 22, insisted the plan wasn't motivated by greed but rather was a desperate attempt to keep her husband out of prison in a sexual-assault case.

"It was about keeping our family together," she tearfully told jurors.

The plot began to take shape last year after Clayton Daniels, 24, pleaded guilty to sexual assault. He was allowed to stay out of prison after the plea but never reported to his probation officer, drawing a 30-day jail sentence.

Three days before he was to report to jail in June, police found a burned-out Chevrolet at the bottom of a roadside cliff. The corpse behind the wheel was unrecognizable, its head and limbs burned away.

"Even the metal on the car was melted, it was so hot," said Thomas Vasquez, Molly Daniels' defense attorney.

Molly Daniels told friends and relatives her husband had died. Her co-workers raised $1,000 for her and attended a memorial service.

A few weeks later, Molly Daniels introduced "Jake Gregg," her new boyfriend, to their children, ages 4 and 1.

He looked a lot like Clayton Daniels but had dyed black hair. Investigators say Molly Daniels also had forged documents to create a new identity for him, including a fake birth certificate and a Texas driver's license.

Investigators had been suspicious from the start. The accident scene had no skid marks or signs of a high-speed crash. The hottest spot of the fire was the driver's seat, and charcoal lighter fluid had been used as a fire accelerant. DNA samples from the burned corpse couldn't be matched with one from Clayton's mother.

Searches of their home and the computer that Molly Daniels used to surf the Web revealed the scheme to find Clayton a new identity. Officers also found a list of plastic surgeons in Mexico.

Investigators said Molly Daniels told them the body was taken from a cemetery a few miles away. The body was an 81-year-old woman who had died in 2003 and was buried in an area used for people who can't afford a burial plot or have little or no family.

Vasquez, Molly Daniels' lawyer, said he couldn't explain why anyone who went to such great lengths to mislead investigators would stay in their home where they could be discovered so easily. But he said the fact that they didn't leave proves that their motive wasn't insurance fraud.

"This wasn't about money," he said. "She felt everything was falling apart and had to take action somehow. It was misguided, but [her family] was the motivation."
