Global Pirates: Fraud in the Offshore Insurance Industry
Global Pirates is a critical investigation of international insurance fraud.
Robert Tillman portrays the often surreal world of the burgeoning offshore
insurance industry; a world in which sophisticated white-collar criminals
operate beyond the reach of government regulators to set up elaborately
orchestrated scams that drain illegal profits out of the $3 trillion U.S.
insurance market. He also describes how the new global economy allows these
scam artists to take advantage of rapidly changing financial markets and the
regulatory environments that surround them. Drawing on congressional
hearings, court documents, published articles, and interviews with law
enforcement officials, Tillman uses numerous case studies to illustrate
degrees of insurance fraud: simply ignoring auto, medical liability, and
worker compensation claims while citing NAFTA exemptions to local
regulations; selling bogus policies to businesses in 'redlined,' low-income
neighbourhoods and to high-risk drivers abandoned by legitimate auto
insurers; and falsifying multinational subsidiaries, assets and even
identities of company principles. He examines how 'fantasy islands' are
created, explores emerging connections between offshore entities and money
laudering, drug cartels, and organised crime, and discusses how outlaw
insurers evade prosecution by setting up complex financial networks that
crisscross national boundaries.
