Father jailed for WTC swindle

A man who lied about having a son who died in the World Trade Centre attack to get £100,000 in charity funds has been jailed for up to 33 years.

Cyril Kendall, 54, a father of 12, stole money from the American Red Cross and Safe Horizons for an imaginary son, Wilfred, 29, who he said was in the trade centre when the two towers collapsed.

Kendall said he used £60,000 for family grief counseling and the remainder on related expenditures, including a memorial service.

During his trial, four of his children testified that they had a brother named Wilfred. They may now be charged with perjury.
This is just sick.

That is really fucked up. I think a family member of everyone killed on 9/11 should each get punch this guy in the face. Ugh. Just disgusting.

There's always going to be some heartless bastard that's ready to exploit any tragedy for personal gain. Lock him up in a cell that's placed smack in middle of Ground Zero, prop open his eyelids with toothpicks and force him to watch continually rotating photos of <b>actual</b> victims, on a movie screen. One day for every dollar swindeled.

I’m sure he’s not the only one who took advantage of the whole situation, he’s just the one who got caught.
Definitely a sick fuck though..sad.

Wasn't there a women saying her husband was calling her from underneath the rumble. Turned out she was sick in the head?

bastard!

I hope they are made to pay that money back. Liquidate their assests or whatever it takes to get that money to people who need it.

Esoteric 09-18-2003 10:03 AM

That is pretty fucked up. How could someone actually be so low as to do such a thing?

Yep. Better numbers in the electorate, chance to wage war, etc.

Well, I won't go quite that far, but stuff like this certainly puts me on the path to your way of thinking.

Folks like this make me wish I was a bear, or a marlin, or some other kind of animal. We humans are just so damn... slimy sometimes.

It's a whole family of bastards! His four children conspired with him to make up the fictional son. I wonder how old the kids are.

Sick, just fucking sick. It makes you wonder what else this asshole has gotten away with in his lifetime. If he is so unremorseful as to take advantage of the tragic events of WTC, who knows what else he has tried to pull, and probably accomplished in his miserable lifetime.

mingusfingers 09-18-2003 02:17 PM

There's always gonna be someone like that, for whatever situation affords them the opportunity do so.

Yeah, and stomp him in his balls after he falls to the ground.

Mr. Spacemonkey 09-18-2003 03:34 PM

Damn, what an asshole! And his kids are fucking assholes too for lying! That's just wrong.

IC3 09-18-2003 03:52 PM

This makes me wonder how many people are out there that got away with scams like this from 9/11.

Wonder how many people got away with what he tried to do.

Even Criminals have lines they won't cross...Pretty pathetic person this guy is.

Mephisto2 09-18-2003 04:36 PM

He's a thief.

No different from anyone else who also steals from a charity. And trust me, there's a lot of them out there.

Save your disgust for rapists, war-criminals and pedophiles.
