This Guy Is (By Far) The Dumbest Criminal In The World
The true story of Paul Le Roux
This fascinating story begins in South Africa. Age 15, Paul Le Roux completed a one-year coding course in just eight weeks. He also got a full-time job as a programmer after turning 18 years old.
Back then, many people said Paul was a genius. But nobody predicted the disastrous series of events that would unfold over the following years…
Paul Started A Pharmaceutical Business Of Questionable Legality…
In 2004, Le Roux launched a business to sell prescription drugs online. Customers completed a short questionnaire, chose their desired medication, and paid by credit card.
A doctor in the United States would then write out the prescription — despite never even speaking with patient’s to discuss symptoms. And according to media reports, doctors received a commission for each prescription they fulfilled.
Paul’s pharmaceutical business was highly profitable and popular. But there was a tiny problem: he refused to pay taxes. The IRS calculated that Paul’s business, RX Limited, owed more than $1,500,000 in taxes from 2005 alone!
