Kathmandu. U.S. President Donald Trump has cracked down on fake rescue cases and insurance scandals involving Everest climbers. <\/p>\n
President Trump has made his process public on his official Facebook page. “Nepali police have recently prosecuted 32 people, including trekking agency owners, helicopter operators and hospital staff, as part of a major organised crime syndicate. \u2019<\/p>\n
According to Trump, the so-called guide has been charged with mixing baking soda in a tourist’s food to cause severe stomach pain and mimicking a life-threatening altitude sickness. “They would then lure victims into expensive helicopter rescues,” he wrote, “forged medical and flight records and defrauded international insurance companies out of $19.69 million.” \u2019<\/p>\n

Whereas real adventurers pay the price in health and faith. \u2019<\/p>\n
“Is it time to clean house or watch an entire industry collapse because of our own corruption?” he asked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
