A New Jersey man has some explaining to do.

He said he injured himself when he slipped on some ice at work, but the video tells a different story.

The video from last year shows 57-year-old Alexander Goldinsky throwing ice on the floor of a break room at a business in Woodbridge Township, New Jersey. 

Moments later, Goldinsky stands on the ice before essentially just laying down on the floor. 

Prosecutors say he remained on the floor before being discovered.

He eventually filed an insurance claim to cover hospital and ambulance bills, saying he was injured when he slipped and fell on ice at work. 

Goldinsky was arrested on January 15 and faces insurance fraud charges. 

He’s also facing a charge of theft by deception.

A New York appeals court has revived a fraud claim against Trump University.

The decision made on Super Tuesday will allow the fraud case filed by Attorney General Eric Schneiderman in 2013 to move forward. The state accused Trump University of misleading students into paying for programs they thought came from a licensed university.

Schneiderman claims that more than 5,000 consumers were defrauded out of millions of dollars. He called the decision to move forward with the fraud claim a “clear victory in effort to combat fraud.”

It’s all there.

Dishonest Chicago aldermen, crooked Cook County pols, sleazy suburban overlords and untoward state officials.

There’s also: infamous shoeboxes stuffed with thousands in embezzled cash, courtesy of the late Illinois Secretary of State Paul Powell; the groundbreaking “Hired Truck” scandal that rocked former Mayor Richard M. Daley’s administration; and the Mirage Tavern sting, where the Sun-Times and Better Government Association teamed up to snare greedy municipal inspectors.

And let’s not forget the trials and tribulations of two former governors — impeached and imprisoned Rod Blagojevich, and his predecessor, George Ryan, who recently completed his hitch in the pen.
