Confusing title. "He pushed lives off cliff? So, he ruined lives, or what? Why did he have to do all that to testify?", I thought. It could use an extra comma before the verb.

Makes me think of a scene in this film

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain_%26_Gain

based on a real-life incident where people unsuccessfully tried several murder methods simultaneously on a victim but nobody believed the victim's account because the victim was a known medicaid fraudster.

I never heard about the Sun Gym Gang story (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Gym_gang). Crazy stuff!

That movie sounds quite fun! And it's got Tony Shalhoub in, so, sold.

It's one of the blackest black comedies out there except for maybe

which puts the "black" into

This can't really be the most interesting thing to comment on this story.

But since we're here, I have a hard time seeing this as being confusing. Who is pushing "lives" off cliffs?
