...this guy was giving a hand... Friday August 18 11:58 AM ET Man Chops Off Hand to Collect Insurance TAIPEI (Reuters) - A heavily indebted Taiwan insurance salesman asked two friends to chop off his left hand on Friday in a bid to collect on insurance policies totaling up to $645,000, police said. Huang Chun-ming, 35, was admitted to hospital and tried to pass it off as a gruesome attack by a teenage motorcycle gang. ``We were shocked,'' Tsai Shui-sheng, police chief of the central city of Taichung, told Reuters by telephone. ``We felt a bit suspicious because we combed the...crime scene, but could not find the missing hand.'' Police said they questioned one of Huang's friends, who admitted to committing insurance fraud because Huang had ran up gambling debts of T$20 million. Huang drank kaoliang, a strong Chinese spirit, before his friends chopped off his hand with a samurai sword, police said. They had to hack it more than once. Police later found Huang's missing hand at his home.
