Aidas J., a Lithuanian living in Spain, defrauded 20 restaurants in the city of Alicante before being jailed. During his performances, he would fall to the floor and clutch his chest in mock anguish.
“It was very theatrical, he pretended to pass out and collapsed on the floor,” the manager of El Buen Comer, one of the restaurants defrauded by the scammer, told the US Sun.
Conman is jailed for faking a heart attack at 20 restaurants to avoid paying the bill. Aidas even sought medical attention for his fake heart problems and only found out when he tried his skit twice at El Buen Comer.

Another restaurant worker told Spanish newspaper El Pais: “He lay on the floor, acted as if his chest hurt and started shaking.”
As part of his act, Aidas dresses up in “designer clothes,” according to local police, and pretends to be a Russian tourist who doesn’t speak Spanish.
The manager of El Buen Comer sent Aidas’ photo to other restaurants in the area to warn them and stop the scammer from ‘striking again’.
Another restaurant owner targeted by Aidas said he had ordered several glasses of expensive whiskey, a Russian salad and a main course such as entrecote or lobster before faking the heart attack.

The fraudster has been jailed for 42 days after refusing two fines he received for his theatrics.
As each bill he missed was considered a small amount – from €15 to €70 (£13-60), Aidas only committed “minor crimes”.
His crime spree lasted two months, during which he was arrested several times, but was let off because he owed only a small amount to each restaurant.
But the owners of the rogue restaurants want to file a joint complaint to keep the crook locked up longer. The food and board incidents totaled €766 (£666) in combined bills.
