Unfortunately yes. Some guy basically came up with a scam where he convinced people to donate bodies for medical research, then he turned around and sold them to the military for blast tests.
More of a two-step thing. The body was donated to a company controlled by a guy named Stephen Gore, and the company sold the body to a broker. Stephen Gore was convicted of fraud and given probation.
The broker was controlled by a guy named Arthur Rathburn, and the broker sold the body (and other bodies and body parts) to various organizations, including the Army. Arthur Rathburn was also convicted of fraud and sentenced to 9 years in prison + 3 years probation.
