A doctor in Sao Paulo, Brazil was arrested for using fake fingers to punch into a hospital’s biometric time clock.
As posted on The Province, the doctor, Thauane Nunes Ferreira, used silicone fingers imprinted with real fingerprints to clock in for other employees.
Ferreira had fingers for 11 doctors and 20 nurses, and these staffers would pay him each month for clocking into more overnight shifts than they actually worked.
Authorities charged Ferreira with falsifying a public document. The doctor faces prison time.
