Argentina's Deaf Children Abuse Acquittal and a Heart Attack Restaurant Scam

• 27:18Nine staff members at an Argentine deaf children's institute were acquitted of sexual abuse charges after a two-and-a-half-year trial, though two priests running the facility were convicted and sentenced to over 40 years.
• 28:41The acquitted defendants included a Japanese nun, Paraguayan nun, former cook, psychologist, legal representative, and school director accused of abusing deaf children and covering up crimes.
• 29:21Tim suggests the acquittals mean the deaf children were abused by someone else, not these people—and presents it as the good news of the week since everything else is bad.
• 30:07A 50-year-old Lithuanian man was arrested in Spain for faking heart attacks at restaurants 20 times to avoid paying bills, which Tim declares makes him a hero of multiple nations.
• 30:36Tim points out faking a heart attack requires significant physical effort and summons an ambulance, making it an expensive con—especially in America where ambulances cost $1,500.
• 31:04The man attempted to leave a restaurant without paying, grew upset when confronted, threw himself on the ground and pretended to have a heart attack, but staff didn't believe him and called police instead.
• 31:29Tim compares the moment the con man realized nobody was buying the fake heart attack to a time he worked at Applebee's when a woman threw Purell on the floor in the bathroom.
