A Christmas Fable of Fraud
ZIFL publishes this Story at Christmas Time Every Year. I Hope You like it Again.
Editorial – Anti-Fraud Resolutions
In 2009 ZIFL posted an editorial with New Year’s Resolutions for every person involved in the business of insurance. I repeat it again in this issue and add some thoughts for 2022.
Insurance fraud of all types continues to grow to epidemic levels. It is perpetrated by people of every race, religion, national origin, financial situation, sexual orientation, age, or physical condition. As the US economy tanks and the value of the dollar drops people turn to insurance fraud as a “safe” crime where their financial problems can be cured. Arson for profit, fake thefts, fake injuries all grow logarithmically as it becomes more difficult to earn an honest living. Even when convicted the fraud perpetrators receive as little as probation or one day in jail and rarely are sentenced to multiple years in jail regardless of the extent of the fraud. It often seems that everyone is involved in fraud. Governmental agencies designed to protect consumers, prosecutors, and judges all add to the problem because they have no empathy for insurers, investors, or Wall Street brokers, as victims.
