This "insurance fraud" was doomed to be limited in scale.
Typically, it involved incidents where goods were damaged, leading to insurance payouts, and the damaged goods were then disposed of at a low price.
The profit came from this very process.
Very few insurance companies would choose to recover these damaged goods, but some people without much money and illegal workers were quite fond of these cheap deals.
Moreover, they could also be sold to some "charitable organizations".
However, this was just small change, the real money was in the employee life insurance.
The owner of this convenience store in question was rather greedy, trying to have his cake and eat it too, with previous insurance claims including employee life insurance, product insurance, store renovations, and other types of coverage.
The claim amount, as far as this insurance investigator understood, had surpassed a million US dollars.
