Is this a real site? It looks fake, and the writing is super weird.

Here's the DOJ version:

https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdfl/pr/daughter-father-charged...

It has more information, is better written, and is from April.

Ok, changed to that from http://www.idahoreporter.com/2019/florida-man-got-3-4-millio.... Thanks!

It really should be https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdfl/pr/fort-lauderdale-father-..., because he was convicted a few days ago.

We'll change to that above and point to the previous link. Thanks!

A meta question, but why was everything from the comments to the title initially attributing everything to the man? The 35 year old woman spent twice many years doing this, claimed 2.4 millions compared to the 0.7 million that the man did.

Even ordering the father before the daughter looks odd but it is at least the original title, but the whole thing looked out of place here on HN.

I don't know, but let's not fly too close to the black hole of gender flamewar.

It was a failure in communication on my part to frame it as a question as that indeed only lead to flamewars. My intent was to simply voice criticism of the fact that it happened and that it seemed to go on unnoticed for a fairly long time.

The coloured background gives me a cozy 90s internet feel.

Good call. Looks like it's run by a libertarian think tank: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idaho_Freedom_Foundation
