THOMAS PRUSIK-PARKIN, RESURRECTS HIS DEAD MOTHER?
Wonders shall never end and the smarts shall always be out-smarted! And so is it that a Brooklyn New York man impersonated his dead-mother for about six years and collected her accruing benefits of Social Security, rent subsidies etc worth over $115,000.00? Mr. Thomas Prusik-Parkin, 49, pictured right, posed as his dead mother and with the help of an accomplice Mhilton Rimolo, who acted as "her" care-provider would visit social security and rent subsidies offices to sign and collect her checks. Rimolo helped his "ailing aunt" get around town, cash government checks and assist in property transactions? Clever, isn't it? Thomas would wear a wig, nail polish, heavy makeup, fake identity card, dress and a cane while impersonating his dead mother and what a near-perfect act he was until he was nabbed just last Monday, June 15, 2009. He was arraigned on Tuesday on grand larceny, forgery and conspiracy charges linked to a deed and mortgage fraud scheme? In his statement, following arrest, Thomas said, "I held my mother when she was dying and breathed in her last breath, so I am my mother". Icheoku says, such a statement provides Thomas with the much needed defence of insanity as only an unhinged person would make such an irrational statement of delusional state of being? Thomas' mother, Irene Prusik, died in 2003 at age 73. It would appear that Thomas had his act pre-planned as he had given his mother's funeral director the wrong Social Security number and date of birth which made it impossible for a proper and correct death records of hers to reflect in government databases which would have forestalled this schematic fraud. He continued collecting her $700 a month in Social Security, filed for bankruptcy under her assumed identity so "she" would be eligible for $39,000 in city housing subsidies to help pay rent on "her" apartment. He even fooled the district attorney's investigators who came to interview 'Irene Prusik' last May 2009, when they encountered an elderly "woman" in a red dress and dark sunglasses who answered all their questions, with Rimolo by 'her' side? Thomas was eventually busted following a tip-off! Icheoku says, a case of every day for the thief, one day for the master!
