The rescues are real though, even if the reason for it is faked.

Well that’s a new thing. Did anyone have Insurance Fraud Sherpa on their bingo card? What genre of music is that band name?

Sometimes there are rich guys who go completely unprepared and they force their guides still take them on to summit even if it risks their lives.

A lot of guides die because of rich assholes and then some more guides die getting the body of the same rich asshole off the mountain.

If the guide doesn’t do it then they’ll get a bad reputation and more rich assholes won’t hire him so he starves.

Investigators say guides used a range of methods to force helicopter evacuations, including faking medical emergencies and lacing food with large amounts of baking powder to stimulate gastric distress commonly associated with altitude sickness. Others were given medications with excessive amounts of water to trigger symptoms.

After trekkers reported nausea, dizziness or body aches, they were advised to descend and agree to costly emergency helicopter evacuations. Authorities said operators then used forged medical and flight documents to claim costs from international travel insurers.

These new White Lotus teasers are getting really hypey

They’ve been exploited for years. Time for revenge.
