#Fraud investgators have found over 300 fake rescues for #MtEverest climbers between 2022 and 2025. These actions have racked up nearly $20 million in fraudulent #insurance claims. The #Kathmandu Post first exposed the fake remote #rescue network in 2018, prompting a recent 700-page gov't report investigating 10 #helicopter providers, and six #corrupt #hospitals, working with 36 shady #travel and #rescue agencies. #Nepali police say the network persists due to difficulty to audit & reach #Everest and confirm #insurancefraud.

In some cases, #drugs are administered to simulate altitude sickness and baking soda mixed into food to make trekkers appear ill.
