Insurance Fraud case: Surgeon accused of self-amputation and ties to 'Eunuch Maker' network

Vascular surgeon Neil Hopper, 49, has been charged with two counts of fraud and encouraging grievous bodily harm. Prosecutors say he self-amputated his legs to claim nearly £500,000, then told insurers sepsis was to blame. He is also accused of buying extreme amputation videos and urging 'Eunuch Maker' ringleader Marius Gustavson to harm others. Hopper is in custody; the hospital has set up a patient hotline.
