An extensive investigation revealed that at least 119 Amtrak employees engaged in an elaborate insurance-fraud scheme from 2019 to 2022, stealing around $12 million. Employees collaborated with unethical healthcare providers to file fake claims, splitting the profits with these providers. Notably, some employed intimidating tactics against those who resisted. Although some individuals are facing charges, a significant portion of the implicated employees remain on the Amtrak payroll, leading to criticisms of the company's response. A spokesperson claimed that Amtrak is now moving to address the situation after years of inaction.
