The U.S. Swimmers’ mugging scandal
During the 2016 Olympics in Rio, Ryan Lochte, Jimmy Feigen, Gunnar Bentz, and Jack Conger claimed to have been mugged and robbed at gunpoint.
Later, it was revealed through security tapes, that the muggers were security guards who worked at a gas station where the swimmers had engaged in public vandalism and public urination. WTF.
