I know you’re tired of Lindsay Lohan’s crack drama. But you should pay attention! Because sometimes the most interesting Cracken stories are the unexpected ones. I really do think that this hit-and-run incident is turning out to be more scandalous and salacious that I originally expected. Yesterday, we discussed Radar’s story about what the surveillance video showed on the night of the hit-and-run – allegedly, there was no “paparazzi swarm” around Lindsay’s car, and not-so-allegedly, Lindsay was behind the wheel after she had been drinking, and she actually spoke to the man she hit (Thaer Kamal), and she told him “f–k you!” Last week, TMZ had a story that came right out of Camp Crackie’s playbook – attack the victim, malign the victim, and make the victim look like a cracked-out con artist (which is just funny, considering the source of the rumors). Now Radar reports that Kamal, an Iraq War veteran, is pretty angry that Camp Crackie has been spreading all of this crap about him:

Contrary to reports, Thaer Kamal, the Hookah Lounge manager who has accused Lindsay Lohan of hit and run, has never been investigated for insurance fraud and has no criminal record, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

As we previously reported Lohan, 25, was driving away from the Sayers Club in Hollywood almost two weeks ago in her new black Porsche when she says she was blocked by a horde of paparazzi and club patrons from the nearby Hookah Lounge. As Lindsay was trying to make a U-turn among the crowd at the late night hotspot, she allegedly hit Kamal and his car and then sped off.

Media reports circulated last week that Kamal was being investigated for insurance fraud in eight different cases for staging fake car accidents and filing bogus claims. “Let’s be very clear about this, Thaer Kamal has never been investigated for insurance fraud, fraud, staging car accidents or anything even remotely related to any illegal criminal behavior,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com. “Thaer doesn’t have a criminal record, has never been arrested and this is the first time he has ever filed a claim with his insurance company. Thaer is disgusted that these false reports have been made.”

Meanwhile, Kamal’s powerhouse attorneys, Mark Geragos and Tamar Arminak, are looking into who has been slandering their client. “Mark and Tamar will be investigating who made those false statements about Thaer being the focus of insurance fraud investigations and will take the appropriate legal action against those responsible for the false and defamatory comments if necessary,” the insider says.

Lindsay is scheduled to appear for her final progress report on Thursday in connection with her necklace theft case. Kamal is scheduled to meet with investigators from the LAPD Hollywood division before Thursday to do an extensive sit down interview.

If those “Kamal is a cracked out con artist” reports can be traced back to Camp Crackie, that means that Kamal could not only sue Lindsay for the hit-and-run, but he’s got a decent case for slander too. It’s sort of amazing that Camp Crackie thinks that they have any credibility with the media, but in their defense, TMZ reports anything and everything that comes out of Dina Lohan’s mouth.

Speaking of, TMZ has a report about Lindsay’s final 48 hours of formal probation – Lindsay’s last hearing with the judge is on Thursday, and TMZ claims:

The L.A. County District Attorney is satisfied Lindsay completed the terms of her probation. As a result, the D.A. will accept the L.A. County Probation Department’s report that Lindsay has complied with all the terms of her probation. We’ve learned the D.A. will have no objection to Judge Stephanie Sautner terminating Lindsay’s probation in the Beverly Hills DUI case.

As for Lindsay’s other little problem — the jewelry heist — we’ve learned the L.A. City Attorney sees no reason why Lindsay’s formal probation — requiring her to regularly report to her probation officer and the judge — will be changed to informal probation, meaning as long as Lindsay keeps her nose clean she is off the hook for misdemeanor theft.

Lindsay is in court Thursday, and we’ll be livestreaming. She will walk out with virtually no strings attached to her freedom. Well, there is one string. To get off informal probation, she must obey all laws for the next 2 1/2 years.

I really don’t see how this is possible considering the LAPD still need to speak to Lindsay regarding her cracked-out hit-and-run. But I guess the answer, as always, is “It’s California.” LL gets away with everything because it’s California. Still… two and a half years without crack drama?! HAHAHAHA.

Oh, and I will never be able to quit these photos:
