Alexander Goldinsky, a 57-year-old independent contractor, was working for a company in Woodbridge, New Jersey when he allegedly orchestrated the scam, according to the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office.

The office released surveillance video from the company's empty break room, showing Goldinsky throwing the ice and strategically sprawling himself across the floor.

The investigation revealed that Goldinsky purposely threw the ice on the floor in the cafeteria at his workplace, placed himself on the ground, and waited until he was discovered," the office said in a statement. "Fraudulent claims cost everyone and we will aggressively prosecute those who illegally manipulate the system.

Goldinsky was arrested and charged with one count of insurance fraud in the third degree and one count of theft by deception in the third degree for fraudulently filing an insurance claim.
