A Chinese woman has been arrested for leading a massive fraud scheme in which she managed to hold onto 16 different full time jobs at the same time without ever doing any work.

The woman routinely went on job interviews and kept getting hired, but she would never show up to jobs and didn't actually do any work. She continued to collect paychecks until the employer would notice and fire her. But then she would just continue to get other jobs and keep the scam going. She's also accused of finding other people jobs in exchange for a commission. The scam worked for years and allowed her to afford a lavish lifestyle, but everything eventually fell apart when one of her former employers found a resignation letter from her on an online work group and figured out that she had been employed by another company while she was supposed to be working for him.

The employer did a little more research and found proof that there were other companies she was employed by at the same time and that's when he notified the police. Ironically, she was arrested while at a job interview and charged with labor fraud. Her husband and 50 other "accomplices" were also arrested. (OddityCentral)

Maybe she needs some time with "The Two Bobs"?
