The only reason Dao is looking at a big payday is because he was seriously injured. To suggest that he wanted to be injured, or could have foreseen it, is stupid at best.

Nowhere in any statement I’ve made about this incident have I suggested that the doctor “wanted to be injured” or that he “could have foreseen it,” and for you to suggest that I have “is stupid at best.” You have the rude habit of putting words in the mouths of other posters to buttress your own weak arguments, and you should try to avoid doing that because it makes YOU look STUPID!
‘I took a lot of heat for nailing this creep as a scammer on day one. He was begging for a hostile altercation with $$$$ flashing in his eyes thinking of the suit he planned to bring against the airline.
LOCK HIM UP!’
Your premise only works if Dao wanted to be injured and could foresee that he would be. Otherwise, there’s no ‘scam.’ You don’t make “$$$$” from being removed safely and uninjured from a plane under these circumstances. At best—at the absolute most optimal—Dao *might* have won enough to cover his legal fees.
So A, or B.
A, being Dao planned to be seriously injured, which would have been the only way to break more than even—with that being a longshot—under the circumstances.
B, Dao didn’t want to be injured, and therfore wasn’t attempting any kind of scam.
Take your pick.
