The New Jersey man who was the leader of the stolen body parts scam could face life in prison.
Michael Mastromarino pleaded guilty in Pennsylvania to hundreds of counts of abusing corpses, forgery, theft and other allegations.
Mastromarino made millions of dollars in scams that involved funeral homes in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York. He previously pleaded guilty to enterprise corruption, body stealing and reckless endangerment in New York, receiving up to 54 years in prison.
Without permission, he plundered hundreds of bodies sent to funeral homes and sold them to medical companies.
About 10,000 people received tissue from Mastromarino's company, and some say they have contracted diseases because the body parts were not medically screened.

Then, I thought of Dick Cheney and repeatedly threw up . - 3 years ago
