'This will 100% blow up in your face': Single guy tries to fake his way into getting 2 months of paternity leave, gets saved by strangers online from fraud, felony charges, and jail time

CRIMINALS! Oh criminals. When you think of the 'bad guys' in a story, you usually will think of someone who actively does bad things, right? Well, what about the folks who unknowingly commit crimes? Are they still bad? Well in our next story, one guy unknowingly committed fraud (or was about to) and got his tooshie saved by a gaggle of strangers online. 

Anyone with a greasy moral code and an ounce of cleverness can claim the benefits of people who desperately and legitimately need a break, which is a crime that can go unnoticed. If a parent is entitled to paternity leave, why can't a single guy cash in? But even after 8 months of setting up a heist of company benefits, one employee was led to think twice about moving forward with his plan to fake his own paternity leave.
