A New York Supreme Court judge issued a summary judgment on January 20, 2026, declaring members of an alleged insurance fraud ring ineligible for payouts from Integon National Insurance Company after more than two years of proceedings. The judgment finds eight automobile crashes across New York City and nearby suburbs in 2023 were intentionally staged to produce tens of thousands in illegal payouts through falsified incident testimony and unnecessary medical visits. NYPD records indicate perpetrators cut off and brake-checked commercial vehicles to cause collisions. Patterns included three occupants per vehicle, similar locations, rear-endings by box or commercial trucks, treatment at two Queens medical offices billed to Integon, and alleged coordinated cash kickbacks before premiums were paid, followed by policy cancellations that left insurers at a loss.
