Jurors in a New York court will see surveillance footage today of a man who allegedly dressed up as his dead mother for six years to cash her Social Security checks, even going as far as visiting the DMV for a new license in the get-up.
Crazy Dude
Thomas Prusik-Parkin is accused of collecting more than $115,000 on his mother Irene Prusik's government benefits and rent subsidies for six years following her death in 2003.
In what the Brooklyn district attorney's office called an "elaborate fraud," Parkin and an accomplice allegedly appropriated Social Security benefits, social service payments and a townhouse, all while Parkin was dressed as his deceased 77-year-old mother.
