The equipment came with rules. The way that it worked was that the victim was either drugged or plied with enough alcohol to render them unconscious. The equipment was then put in their body. It was usually a combination of parts of a mobile phone in a surgical bag, parts from EarPods, parts from cochlear ear plants, and then various other small bits of tech and equipment to do the required job. It would be concealed within small cavities within the body so that it would be largely over looked on scans. Everything either went in through the mouth, nose or nether regions.
There are a few variants of the con. One is with an aim to sell an identity on the black market with a serious medical diagnosis attached. This is so that the Identity can be used in multiple locations to claim two fold benefits (carers benefit, and disability benefits for the victims ID). There are two main ways to carry out this con. One is to surreptitiously use the equipment so that the victim is unaware that their illness is unnaturally caused. These victims are usually murdered shortly after the diagnosis. Its cruel and annihilating. The crew assigned to the victim will often have to intervene and meddle in the victims life to keep their murder on track. Often a few crew members will insert themselves into the victims life, posing as friends. Smiling and duplicitously accompanying the victim on their illnesses journey. All the while carefully and coldly making sure that their payday is on track. They will sell the ID with the medical diagnosis for around 300 – 500 thousand pounds.
There is a variant of it where they keep the victim alive and in place within a property and assign a handler to the victim to manage their benefits and outside contact. They then can use the home for other criminal purposes.
They can also sell the property with the victims identity attached. The victim can be murdered in their home and gang members can be assigned roles within the property to pretend to be the victim and a carer for the victim.
There is no consent given so every aspect of this crime is rape, assault, medical rape, torture, and murder.
Another con using the equipment is extortion. The victim is made aware that they are being tortured by a gang. They never meet the gang or see who they are but they are approached by one gang member who sympathetically advises that if they pay a set amount of money every week then they will not be tortured or brain damaged. Family members can also be approached and extorted from.
There are also victims that they keep going, just surviving. They sell torture slots on the black market so that people can remotely torture the victim. It is mostly women that are in charge of these cases. The women really enjoy their work and are very sadistic. Most of these victims commit suicide to escape the pain and horror of the torture. They say that its a “careful balance” to keep them alive long enough to get sufficient dividends but to keep them tortured enough to stop them from doing anything other than surviving.
