Fabulous, Famous & Fraudulent: the pros and cons of celebrity

When interior designer Ronald Hunt of Los Angeles appeared on a home improvement television show, he probably thought it would be great for business, as the medium would spread the word about his services far and wide.

However, it turns out Hunt probably should have reconsidered his appearance , since appearing on the show apparently blew the cover off his claim of disability.  It turned out that an employee of the insurance company who had been paying his claim recognized his name and turned him in.

Oddly, Hunt apparently had little reason to claim disability since, even though he collected almost $150,000 in benefits over 3 years, over the same period, Hunt made around $400,000 from his interior design work.
