Kentucky Man Admits to Faking Death to Dodge $100K in Child Support

A Kentucky man, Jesse Kipf, pleaded guilty to faking his own death to evade over $100,000 in child support payments to his ex-wife. He accessed Hawaii’s death registry system, posed as a doctor, and created a fake death certificate for himself. Kipf also infiltrated other states’ death registry systems and attempted to sell access to networks he hacked. He now owes $116,000 to his ex-wife and faces up to seven years in prison and $500,000 in fines.
