need $700,000 on November 6 2015 a Reddit user named Bangarang made a deeply concerning an odd post on the site reading need $700,000 what do I do I need it by January 2016 or I'm dead from the mob what are my options though now if this was posted in subreddits like r/ advice or r/h help me people would have taken it more seriously however for whatever reason bang rang decided to post this plea for help in r/ sad boys this is a subreddit for the fans of the sad boys music Collective that emerged in the early 2010s primarily associated with Swedish rapper Young lean and his music group sad boys so a completely unrelated post like this left most people confused about what it meant not sure if this is real so confused what is this some users wondered if this was some obscure reference to sad Boy music is this a reference to lean being worth $700,000 however most users quickly realized that Bangarang was serious when you began responding to some of the less serious joke comments with sincere replies let me ghost write your next mixtape I need all the help I can get but that's when the post took a disturbing turn one user jokingly told the op to end it by jumping off a bridge and shoot himself while falling however instead of getting offended Bangarang replied with something that made everything way more unsettling think they'll get to me before I can make any moves alongside this he posted a link to an eerie photo a group of men standing in the middle of a street with multiple cars lined up behind them the way the photo was framed suggested that op took it while hiding in the bushes as if he was watching from a distance afraid to be seen at this point people wanted answers and after some back and forth and another thread Bangarang finally explained what had gotten him into this situation was involved in a fight where an 18-year-old kid was killed I was on drugs and had a bad temper I was always protective of my friends especially John JN was in a band and was taking off he had a Facebook page so he activated it he made a new one one of his friends that made a new one got real mad that he deleted the old page and thought he didn't want anything to do with her or his old friends because of the new fame and band Jon tried to explain to her that was in the case when he tried to I peered over Jon's shoulder read their texts and got heated I started trash talking the girl she got her boyfriend's friends to meet me and my friends out in the desert for a brawl one of the guys there was with the gang members guys group and pulled out a gun to shoot me and my friends one of my friends grabbed the gun from him and and ended up shooting the guy and killing him the dude that pulled out the gun in the first place then after the fight I violated my probation the cops already after me for drug use they found out I was involved in the fight and the shooting of the guy and they added the battery charge I wasn't charged with murder but was involved in the fight which is why they added assault and battery charges plus the probation violation but I continued with drug use and violated my probation by leaving the state now I'm sobered up I just turned 23 and I'm in a real bad place with some people from the past while these responses provided some important context for op's situation it still didn't explain why the mob was after him now or how having $700,000 would help him stay alive by this point people had stopped joking it was clear that this was most likely real one user finally spoke up saying what everyone else was thinking first of all why are you posting this here second run get out of town to which op replied I got no one after learning about his sheer helplessness user Pizza Man 2345 chimed in with some detailed and practical advice to help bang rang escape with his life get yourself into jail and tell them to safely escort you to an airport afterwards if you warn them about the mob and spread the word the police will look stupid if you die soon afterwards then if you do get to the airport take several planes to several places and settle down somewhere far away no matter how uncaring a police department is they should listen to your plea for help it might also help if you have a writer friend who can tell the whole story if they don't escort you let the police know as a last resort that they will be flamed online for not dealing with with the mob themselves and for letting you loose only for you to die right after this of course involves you being in jail for a while which if not the case leads me to say that you should simply leave the country now use your head don't drug your problems away either work hard and Loan the rest or just run unfortunately we'll never know if this advice helped him or not a day after making the original post bang rang stopped replying to any more comments and hasn't posted anything on Reddit sense as for if the story was legit or not we have no way of knowing for sure the bang rang account was likely a throwaway since it was created the same day as the post I also tried reverse image searching the picture he posted and while there are many similar looking images online I couldn't find anything that matches the op picture to a T and predated the Reddit thread and since bang rang didn't provide any clues about his location I couldn't find any relevant news articles from that time either most users under the original thread believe the op was likely caught and killed by the mob however it spent over 9 years since the original post with no update sense and I doubt we'll ever learn the truth [Music] dog operation on the 31st of March Reddit user City comma State posted a disturbing entry on the Reddit Bureau of Investigation subreddit the title of the entry was what could have been the reason why someone operated on my dog it read I originally posted this to another sub now deleted and was insisted that I repost this here instead I live alone in a suburban area and when I go out whether it's for work social Gathering shopping or whatever I leave my dog he's a labrador to play in my backyard with plenty of food and water he's a pretty healthy dog normal weight and had nothing wrong with him I would say I live in a pretty safe neighborhood and never had anything bad happen to my dog while I was away yesterday I came back home from work in shock to see that my dog had been stitched up in shock I immediately rushed to him called and took him to a vet I visit the vet for checkups so the vet knows him strangely the Doctor Who was inspecting him said that whoever was operating on him actually did a pretty good job and for whatever reason took out part of his fat the wounds are of both his lower and upper belly picture is here luckily he isn't in any danger but the doctor said he would be in some pain for some weeks normal for wounds I was prescribed painkillers and antibiotics for my dog I was also given a cone for him to wear so he wouldn't lick his wounds naturally I asked him if a labrador came into the vet today as in yesterday and he and the receptionist said no and they said to their memory it's the first time they saw my dog that day so this got me in my doctor thinking either someone operated on him or someone took took him to another vet and got him operated for whatever reason in the meantime I have reported this to the police and have called other vets around my town and no luck as of yet due to this I still unsure what could have caused this who and why would someone take parts of fat out of my dog I don't have any enemies nor any past relationship Partners come to mind who may do this I've also spoken to some neighbors and they said they didn't notice anything strange around the neighborhood or near my house I also don't have any cameras people on Reddit quickly began speculating on what could have happened some wondered if this was the work of a medical student looking to practice or a buding serial killer however neither of these makes much sense no sane medical student would risk ruining their career by operating on a random dog when there are safer options like ethically sourced cavers as for the potential serial killer Theory why would they cut open a dog only to stitch it back and return it to the owner instead of just disposing of the body but there were some more reasonable theories as well stating that the dog must have injured its stomach while jumping over the fence someone then saw the wounded dog and took it to the vet for treatment before leaving it back in op's yard or maybe the dog successfully jumped over the fence only to get hit by a car and the person driving the car took it to the vet and dropped it off after the operation however a major flaw in both theories is why the person who took it to the vet didn't leave a note explaining the situation if it was an accident maybe the person didn't want to get in trouble but even then leaving an anonymous note would have been the right thing to do some users also consider the possibility that someone might have shot the dog with a pellet gun either by accident or on purpose a comment from user Banana Phone quickly Rose to the top as it offered a more plausible explanation for what might have happened during the op's absence that rubber thing sticking out appears to be a Penrose drain which is most commonly used to allow a wound to weep and drained through the hole where it comes out of the skin which prevents the skin from closing into a pocket and turning into a huge infected absis which requires secondary treatment and antibiotics this is most commonly seen in my personal professional experience after buying from another animal as the bacteria in dog slat Mouse can be difficult to totally disinfect after the fact and often leads to abscesses while the general consensus is that dog mouths are cleaner than cats there's still plenty of bacteria in your average dog's mouth that could lead to infection that drain will need to be removed in a few days to a week after the risk of infection has passed my guess would be with the size of the incision another dog got into a fight with yours whether it jumped the fence into your backyard and picked the fight itself or somehow your dog was accidentally able to be out of his fence and the owner felt guilty but did not want to get sued or put their dog down I double this hypothesis because if they put him back they knew where he lives and that means he was probably inside the fence when the incident occurred and hiding the conflict probably means his dog has a history of aggression to the point where it jumped your fence and attacked I suspect a pellet SLG gunshot less because anyone who would shoot a dog in its own yard is probably not going to have the moral compass to get it treated another user decent writer also backed this Theory with a personal anecdote reading I'm almost 100% sure someone who has a dog with a bite history attacked your dog and they did not want to get caught I have a dog with a bite history if he bits someone or an animal a second time it would be disastrous and myself and my partner would both be in jail they likely got off with a small charge the first time and are on probation already PID out a ton of money to whoever was the first victim and canot risk a second person suing them we've been going through the process for our one dog bite for over 2 years it has been miserable every single step of the way and I'm sure that's what has happened here I'm sorry it sucks so much hopefully they feel guilty and come forward to you one day in which case you have 2 years from the day of the incident to sue them in a civil court case I know this because I'm on the other side of that civil lawsuit as we speak that said after further questioning from other users the op shared additional details about the situation debunking many of these theories in the process edit people have been asking about my fencing I am about 5'8 and the main fencing is taller than me the side fence is about half my height however there are other properties around those fencing so if another dog for example got in I would think the neighbors would have noticed as the other dog would have needed to go through their properties first before reaching mine people also are asking if my dog is known for jumping over stuff no he's not so that's why I don't think he hurt himself while jumping over the fence but that doesn't mean another dog jumped over to him one of my neighbors right next to the one of my shorter fence has a dog of his own but it's a small poodle and I don't think they could have done that to a labrador plus neither of them has shown aggression to each other from what I've seen they usually don't even pay each other's mind no other organs are missing according to the vent just the fat removal it was not a car crash he has no bones broken bruises or anything like that there was blood but only around him normal amount not anything crazy so either someone did it and cleaned it or it was done elsewhere the picture was taken the day after the vet the day I made this post after they examined and gave them a proper clean around the wounds at least one of my neighbors in the surrounding fencing has a camera to my knowledge the footage has been examined by the police and myself and we couldn't see anything out of the ordinary the police said they will be going around to see for any other footage however with this additional information the op mentioned something that made many people question whether any of this was real to begin with they mentioned that they were gone out for work from 10:00 a. m. to 3:00 p.
m. for 5 hours which is not typically enough time for someone to take their dog to a vent get a complete surgery and drop it back without getting caught as one user pointed out this whole thing strikes me as suspicious I've worked in both private PR practice and er op says they were gone for 5 hours even if it happened right when they left 5 hours is a really short amount of time for this size of wound repair when you factor in anesthesia sedation clipping cleaning sometimes takes longer than the actual suing to remove hair debris dirt Etc then flushing and cleaning the wounds cutting the skin to remove sections that wouldn't heal well then actually suing it including drains post anesthesia sedation recovery white dogs plus a bunch of blood requires a bath to remove all the blood not to mention the time it takes to get the dog there check the dog in get consent for treatment discharging and explaining meds paying for it getting the dog back to op's yard but this makes me wonder if it could have been done in this time frame if the surgery wasn't done at a professional Veterinary Hospital maybe the person involved in the incident had a surgical background and did everything themselves off the books however this is all speculation and unfortunately not long after this update the op deleted their account and didn't post any new updates on what happened but before that the op did make a post stating that the police were investigating this as a criminal case however given their complete silence over the past four years it's unlikely we'll learn if anything ever came of that fraudulent nurse on January 16th 2021 user Pagan princess 22 made a Reddit post recounting her strangely terrifying experience in a hospital the post read a woman posing as a nurse stole my blood from an Indiana USA emergency room in 1996 or 1997 when I was 5 or 6 years old hello everyone I'm not sure if this is the correct place so please feel free to direct me to a better subreddit if there is one I flared it as a cold case because it happened 23 years ago but there were no charges filed to my recollection and I don't remember a case being made from it this is a strange story and I was five maybe six when it happened so I don't have a lot of the details I had recently told my younger sister about this story and she encouraged me to look into the incident more and see if I could find out either who this person was or if there was a larger pattern of behavior during the time frame I'm interested in any information you all have to offer slin on the matter as I truly just want to satisfy some curiosity I'm 99% sure any statut of limitations is up and I'm not interested in reporting something so weird and from so long ago to the police for them to tell me there's nothing that can be done now onto the story when I was around 5 or 6 I got a pretty bad nose bleed that wouldn't stop I eventually started throwing up big clots of blood as well and my mother took me to the ER this would be in/ around the Sunman or Indianapolis area in Indiana USA but I do not know the name of the hospital at the time beds were separated only by curtains on ceiling racks and not individual walled rooms my mother had left my room to speak to a doctor I think I know she left and a woman I did not know came in shortly after she left she was white had medium brown hair and looked to be in her 20s or 30s she was wearing a blue scrub shirt with puppy dogs on it and unmatched pants I want to say she was not not wearing scrub pants but rather jeans or maybe sweatpants I know they did not match her shirt which stood out to me the other nurses and doctors I saw only wore solid colored scrubs and were all matched she said she needed to take some blood and pull the tools to do so from her scrub Pockets not a photomy card she stuck me and started drawing blood somewhere around 5 to seven vials of it but potentially more on the last vial we heard my mom and a doctor coming back towards the room she hurriedly ripped the tube from my arm before the last vial was full it spilled some blood she did not give me a Band-Aid or gauze she just left me bleeding and shoved everything back into her pocket then ran from the room she ran to the left and my mom and Doctor entered from the right the doctor said a nurse would be with me soon to draw some blood and run some tests I told him a lady had already taken my blood and he asked what she looked like and where she went I described her he turned wideeye to my mother and said she doesn't work here and ran out of the room to the left I heard some loud voices there was a lot of commotion but I don't remember anything past that point other than just feeling dizzy and now scared that some strange woman had my blood I've never been able to find out what happened who this woman was and if she was ever caught or if this type of thing was happening across the country at the time I have no idea let me know if there's any other information I could provide to make it easier to find out what happened to my blood edited a typo and to add my mother is not a great source of information when it comes to my early life or her life or anything really as she has some of her own issues several years ago when I was a teenager confirmed the details I remember remembered then refused to talk further about it and ask me not to bring it up again she claims she does not remember the name of the hospital the name of the doctor or other details I was asking for at the time what makes this story so terrifying is how real it feels most children are already afraid of doctors and needles so the idea of someone posing as a nurse to steal blood is horrifying one user responded with a theory stating are there any chances that you are adopted suggesting that the mysterious woman was op's real mother who wanted her blood for DNA testing and while this is still a bit out there it could explain why op's mother refused to give any further information on what happened that day however Opie shot down this Theory not long after was posted with a comment reading I don't believe so no I've seen my original birth certificate and it lists my known parents as my birth parents I also look very similar to my mom and sister the most plausible Theory came from user o Snapdragon 22 who suggested that op might be misremembering details that make the situation a lot more horrifying than it actually was stating here FLOTUS sometimes wear different scrubs it seems highly unlikely that someone stole your blood and put them in tubes those tubes are full of various additives for different diagnostic testing if I were to steal your blood I would use a bag instead not like I would steal blood or anything just making a point it seems highly weird that a civilian would have the necessary tools SL tubes to complete this lab draw many blood draws are done with equipment carried in scrub Pockets so not having a cart is not atypical supplies in hospitals especially needles are required to be locked per Joint Commission SL DMV for obvious reasons drug users children also blood draw carts are actually an infection risk in some cases lastly hospitals are extremely stranger unfriendly every nurse in Tech knows who's supposed to be there and who's not even when you're a coworker that has been floated from another floor to assist you are treated as an outsider and many co-workers still stop and ask you what you need SL what you're doing there this was most likely a flashbulb memory instance as you are five and have a childlike recollection of events and said yourself that your family/ parent is a poor historian I hope this provides some reassurance for you I'm not trying to diminish what you're saying just mentioning that from my experience it seems highly implausible PS a doctor saying someone doesn't work that is also ridiculous as doctors do rotations don't stay on one floor permanently and typically do not know all staff members working in a given unit at a time Pagan princess 22 is still fairly active on Reddit but she hasn't posted any new information about her story who knows maybe one day her mother will come clean about what she knows and will finally learn what happened to op on that [Music] day poisoned on May of 2013 a user made a chilling confession on the off my chest subreddit with a disturbing title that read my mother has poisoned me ever since I became an adult about a decade ago my mother has been against me moving out of the house I finally got a job as a line cook 3 years ago my mother and the rest of my family which includes my sister and father has been against it mainly saying that such a job cannot sustain me which was true they also said I would hate working which turned out to be false about a year and a half later I quit due to health reasons the following spring I got a new job as a computer programmer while they seemed supportive at first my mother and sister who I lived with gradually became hostile eventually I moved out of the house about a month later I lost my job and about 3 months later moved back home everything was cool at first but as I was getting C from recruiters and going to job interviews they gradually became more hostile again accusing me of being distant and not caring for them however they seemed to be very controlling and hateful of the fact that I wanted to move out and wanted a decent job so last month I finally got that job as a computer programmer again but it was out of town I had just enough money to relocate to the new city they became very hostile starting a few days before I left accusing me of not loving them of hating them on the day before I was scheduled to leave my mother gave me two of the styrofoam ramen noodle cups and that cardboard covering that normally comes with it and threw it away I was suspicious that they would trying to sabotage my life so I was careful in not trying to anger them she gave me a few more food items which I didn't use to take on the trip with me when I arrived at my new city and entered my hotel room I chilled out I was to go to work the next day so after the first day of work I ate a cup of ramen noodles and felt ill I knew that feeling because my sister fed me something that made me feel the same way in late 2011 which I then assumed was because of my recent illness I felt weak light-headed and short of breath I drank water to make me feel better because that's what I did last time that happened to me over the week my mother kept calling me making sure to remind me to eat my ramen noodles I was short on cash then waiting for my first paycheck I never told her that I ate it I suspected then that I had been poisoned and after doing some Googling believed it was cyanide now that is something that you should never have to think that your own mother would do that to you so I resisted that thought because I simply could not bear to think that so I went the sinit test. com and ordered to kid and I tried it now look at the graphics and the video on this page now here are the results of my test I guess I'm going to have to call the cops and I will never speak to my family again the results Expos the truth the op desperately didn't want to believe he was being poisoned by his own family thankfully the amount of poison in one cup of noodles wasn't enough to be lethal but eating that second cup could have easily delivered a fatal dose luckily he was able to escape with his life after reading this post the vast majority of people urged op to contact the police and stay away from his family and that's exactly what he did unfortunately the police weren't as helpful as everyone would have hoped update 8:45 a.
m. I am currently in Topeka Kansas I work downtown in a government office building which has a police department I visited the Capitol Police Station here and spoke to an officer I showed him the evidence and he said he could do nothing about it since the package was opened and might have been contaminated so does anyone have ideas had things ended here this could have gone down as one of the most unsettling mysteries in reddit's history but unlike other disturbing Reddit threads this one surprisingly had somewhat of a conclusion you see even though this was a throwaway account op returned to Reddit in October of 2013 and gave an update on his whereabouts I was only able to file a police report but only that so far the police do not have enough evidence to investigate I've gotten no contact with my family I currently live in a cheap motel in Topeka Kansas yesterday after getting home from work I were work for the Kansas state government as a software developer the lady at the front desk told me that my mother called them to speak to me for security reasons the motel needs both the name and room number and my mother didn't have my room number she didn't even attempt to call my cell phone which makes me believe that she just wanted to know if I was staying there and where and a few months later he posted one last comment assuring everyone of his safety and by the way I have moved out of state since making my last thread with this account and I'm doing very well with a nice job and am in Better Health to think that this story would have taken a much darker turn if the op hadn't grown suspicious of the food his own family gave him on his way out missing coworker on the 31st of July 2020 Reddit user sooe BB made a post on the Reddit Bureau of Investigation subreddit seeking Clues to help locate their missing coworker the post read on Wednesday July 22 a cooworker of mine abruptly up and left work before the end of his shift and hasn't been seen since one week later a text message is received from him containing only three photos does anyone recognize the locations shown in these photos I work in a lab that makes prescription eyeglasses in Northern Ohio last week Wednesday about 6 hours into our 10-hour shift around 7:10 p. m.
