   If you suddenly woke up inside a mental hospital, do you think you could   
   convince everyone that you’re not crazy and to let you go home? Convincing   
   the world you’re sane may not be as easy as you think. It is shockingly easy   
   in the United States and    
   around the world to be wrongfully and involuntarily committed to an insane   
   asylum.

   Gustl Mollath was an ordinary German man who made a living by restoring   
   vintage cars. But then he stumbled upon a banking conspiracy so grand that the   
   world thought he was crazy enough that he was institutionalized for seven   
   years.While Mollath made a    
   humble living working on cars, his wife worked at one of Germany’s largest   
   banks, HypoVereinsbank. It was through his wife and her work that Mollath   
   discovered a massive tax evasion scheme undertaken by the German bank.   
   Mollath’s discovery quickly    
   caused conflict in the marriage. After allegations of domestic violence   
   between the couple, the marriage was heading for divorce. Mollath took what he   
   knew about the bank’s tax evasion scheme to the German public. He then filed   
   a large criminal    
   complaint against HypoVereinsbank and its employees—including his wife. He   
   claimed that HypoVereinsbank was making illicit money transfers to Switzerland   
   that would soon be labeled money laundering. At first, the German media   
   ignored Mollath’s claims,   
    but the German authorities did not. Mollath’s wife went forward with the   
   divorce and told the authorities that he had slashed her tires. She also   
   claimed that he was abusive following his discovery of the banking conspiracy.   
   German prosecutors charged    
   Mollath and used his criminal complaint against HypoVereinsbank as “evidence   
   that he suffered from paranoid delusions.â€� They successfully had him   
   involuntarily committed to a mental hospital.Though Mollath remained locked   
   away in an insane asylum,    
   not everyone thought he was crazy. Bloggers, activists, and conspiracy   
   theorists began to investigate Mollath’s claims against HypoVereinsbank and   
   found them to be correct. Many years later, an internal report by   
   HypoVereinsbank that proved the tax    
   evasion and money laundering scheme was leaked to the public by a German   
   newspaper. Mollath’s claims were found to be true and led to HypoVereinsbank   
   being raided by German police on suspicion of tax fraud. Mollath was released   
   from the mental hospital    
   by a court. 9 NYPD Whistle-Blower   
      
   Adrian Schoolcraft was a New York Police Department (NYPD) cop. That is, until   
   he decided he had to take a stand against corruption in the NYPD. Officer   
   Schoolcraft first started his effort to expose wrongdoings by his fellow NYPD   
   officers in 2008. He    
   secretly taped conversations among the NYPD from 2008 to 2009. The tapes   
   contained evidence of widespread corruption that included the use of illegal   
   arrest quotas that led to many wrongful arrests in New York City.As   
   Schoolcraft began compiling his    
   tapes and voicing his dissent, he began experiencing harassment from other   
   officers in the NYPD. When Officer Schoolcraft took his concerns to his   
   superiors, they dismissed his claims and suggested that Schoolcraft was losing   
   his mind. They recommended    
   that he be given psychological treatment. When Officer Schoolcraft did meet   
   with an NYPD psychologist, the psychologist made him surrender his weapons and   
   Schoolcraft was reassigned to a menial desk job. Schoolcraft persevered with   
   his allegations of    
   corruption and got his claims to the NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau. The NYPD   
   responded by putting Schoolcraft under “forced monitoring.â€� Soon after, an   
   NYPD lieutenant confiscated the notes Schoolcraft had compiled as evidence of   
   the corruption.    
   Schoolcraft then received a call from his father, a former policeman himself,   
   warning him about actions the NYPD may take against him. Mere hours later,   
   members of the NYPD invaded Schoolcraft’s apartment after obtaining the key   
   by telling Schoolcraft†  
   ™s landlord that he was suicidal. Just before the NYPD officers raided   
   Schoolcraft’s apartment, he turned on two tape recorders to record the   
   incident. After the NYPD officers broke into Schoolcraft’s apartment, they   
   interrogated him before    
   handcuffing him, taking him away, and involuntarily committing him to   
   psychiatric ward in the nearby Jamaica Hospital Medical Center.Schoolcraft was   
   held in the psychiatric ward against his will. He was handcuffed to his bed   
   and prevented from using the    
   telephone to call for help at the orders of the NYPD. After six days,   
   Schoolcraft was able to leave the mental hospital and promptly filed a lawsuit   
   against the NYPD and the mental hospital that held him against his will at the   
   nefarious orders of the    
   police. After his release, Schoolcraft was indefinitely suspended without pay   
   from the NYPD. NYPD officers continued monitoring Schoolcraft and visiting him   
   at his apartment for multiple weeks. Schoolcraft’s allegations of   
   corruption, arrest quotas,    
   and underreporting among the NYPD were later vindicated by the Village Voice.
