Insurance Claims Prove Insureds Committed Bankruptcy Fraud
Every investigation of a major fire loss should include questions concerning bankruptcy filings by the insured and review of bankruptcy court filings. In United States Of America v. Roscoe Benton, III and Desi Najuana Benton, United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit, Case Nos. 16-1774, 2017 WL 2772174 (6/26/17) State Farm failed to investigate the Benton's bankruptcy filing and failed to even confirm ownership of the real and personal property only to erroneously pay out $400,088.72.
The United States, upset about the failure of the Bentons to report their assets honestly to the court arrested Roscoe Benton, III, and his wife Desi Najuana Benton and after a jury trial on charges of bankruptcy fraud and mail fraud each were found guilty of some but not all of the charged offenses.
The Bentons resorted to bankruptcy protection when they were unable to keep up with their residential rent payments. In late 2009, the owner of the house they were renting took action in state court to evict the Bentons for nonpayment of rent. In a judgment dated December 3, 2009, the Bentons were found to owe $12,635 in past due rent and costs and, barring payment in full by December 14, 2009, they would be ordered to vacate the home.
In response, the Bentons petitioned for relief under Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code. The filing stayed the impending eviction. The bankruptcy court approved the Bentons' Chapter 13 Plan on June 10, 2010. It required the Bentons to pay the bankruptcy trustee $1,834 per month over the course of sixty months. The trustee would then, among other things, pay the $1,100 monthly rental amount to Carey, plus $110 per month to make up the arrears.
Less than a month after confirmation of their bankruptcy plan, the Bentons applied for homeowner's insurance on the house they were continuing to rent from Paul Carey. The State Farm homeowner's insurance policy became effective July 16, 2010, affording coverage for replacement value of the home in the amount of $267,000 and personal property coverage in the amount of $200,250.
On May 16, 2011, the Grand Blanc house on Jamestown Place was severely damaged by fire. Within two months, State Farm had paid the Bentons $184,726 for damage to the dwelling and the policy limit of $200,250 for loss of personal property. On August 8, 2011, the Bentons used the insurance proceeds to purchase a house in Desi's name at 5260 Fairway Trail in Grand Blanc for $180,574 in cash.
They did not use the insurance proceeds to make good on the payments owed to the bankruptcy trustee. As a consequence of these actions the Bentons were indicted in the Eastern District of Michigan on four counts of bankruptcy fraud and one count of mail fraud. They also concealed from the bankruptcy court that the house and its contents had actually been destroyed by fire, for which they had received at least $373,426.72 in insurance payments. Count five charged them with falsely representing in a bankruptcy filing that they were making monthly rent payments of $550 at a time when they were living in a Grand Blanc house they had purchased with cash and were not actually making any rent payments.
Defendants were sentenced on May 5, 2016. Roscoe Benton was sentenced to a prison term of 48 months on each convicted offense, to be served concurrently, and was ordered to pay restitution to State Farm in the amount of $400,088.72. Desi Benton was sentenced to a prison term of 24 months on each convicted offense, to be served concurrently. She too was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $400,088.72. The court ordered the two defendants' prison sentences to be served consecutively to each other: Desi's sentence to be served first, and Roscoe's to commence upon Desi's release. The staggering of the sentences was designed to allow one of the two defendants to remain in the family household caring for Roscoe Benton's infirm mother, who was living with them.
The indictment did not include any charges or even any allegation of insurance fraud by arson against either defendant. No evidence presented at trial touched on the cause of the Jamestown Place fire, much less that it was caused by arson. This, however, did not hinder counsel for the government, the Bentons contend, from repeatedly and gratuitously alluding during trial to "things could that could burn up in a house fire." The references were claimed by the Bentons to have been part of a deliberate scheme to plant the seed in the jurors' minds that the house fire had been started intentionally.
To prevail on a claim of prosecutorial misconduct, it is not enough for the Bentons to show that the prosecutor's comments were improper; they must establish that the comments so infected the trial with unfairness as to make the resulting conviction a denial of due process. No objection was made during trial concerning the prosecutors statements.
A conviction should be reversed under plain-error review only in exceptional circumstances, such that the trial judge would be deemed derelict in having countenanced the unobjected-to misconduct. The Bentons' prosecutorial misconduct claim came up woefully short. The prosecutor advised the jury that the defendants told the bankruptcy court that they only had personal property that could burn in a fire was worth $1750 when a year after the bankruptcy court had approved the Bentons' plan, counsel continued, the house they were renting and its contents were destroyed by fire. Following the house fire, counsel explained that the Bentons submitted an insurance claim for damage to their household goods and that claim was that those goods were worth $277,000 in round numbers. Now, they had told the bankruptcy court that their household goods were worth $1,750. They tell State Farm, it was on the order of two hundred times that money. Counsel's characterization of personal property in the household goods category as "everything that could burn up in a fire," far from being "improper," appears to have been entirely appropriate, given the facts of the case.
The prosecutor also explained to the jury the concept of "insurable interest" when he said: "You cannot take out insurance on a neighbor's house and hope that they are going to burn the house down. Because you don't have any insurable interest in their house. If their house burns down, you haven't lost anything. That's the concept of insurable interest. You can't get insurance on somebody else's property."
The fact that each of the questioned comments, as the Bentons concede, had a legitimate purpose in the trial. Even if it was not strictly necessary for the prosecution to use the characterizations it did, the comments were not clearly improper.
The trial court acknowledged Desi Benton's argument based on the second element that there was no evidence that she "knowingly made or caused" the materially false or fraudulent representation contained in the August 12, 2011 filing. But the court recognized that the August 12 filing was part of a larger scheme to defraud in which, the evidence showed, "the Bentons were working together, that they were cooperating with one another as a team."
Among other things suggesting Desi Benton's involvement, as the district court noted, was the Bentons' October 17, 2011 bankruptcy court filing.
Bankruptcy filings are made under oath. Insurance claims are resolved by a sworn statement in proof of loss. If State Farm examined the Benton's Under Oath and determined that they had sworn to the court than their personal property was worth $1750 they would never have paid them about $200,000. If they learned that the Benton's did not own the real property they probably would never have issued a homeowners policy. The Bentons intent was obvious: they would defraud the bankruptcy court and State Farm. They belong in jail and will serve the time ordered. State Farm will have a difficult time getting the money ordered as restitution.

Due to increasing urbanisation and isolation of many horse people, gone are the days when a neighbour could keep "an eye on the horses" allowing a horse owner the opportunity to leave home for days or week.
Having personally experienced this frustration and knowing many friends in the same position, Kay Thornton decided it was time to provide the much needed "connection" to allow horse people to provide a mutually beneficial caring service for each other.
Established in 2016, Horse Nannies is still new but growing and will continuously be adding more services and features to further bring horse people together from all over the world!
Horse Nannies International Founder, Kay Thornton has been involved in the horse industry
for many years. She is an Equestrian Australia Level 2 Coach and is the author of popular Facebook page Funny
Horse Cartoons.
As a horse owner and equestrian professional, she was well placed to recognised the dilemma of horse owners unwilling to leave their horses in the care of unspecialised house sitters and decided to reach out to as many horse people as possible to solve this problem.
Luke Cliff is the owner operator of his own specialist software development business. He has a reputation for producing solutions for web-based business, providing tools and ideas beyond the scope of standard software offered by many developers.
Luke has been involved in the Horse Nannies website development from day one, and will continue to manage and further develop the website.
Mitchell Williamson's clever website solutions caught our attention in 2015 and he was recruited to work in conjunction with Luke on building the front end interface.
Mitchell is continuing his formal studies in Computer Science at University and will keep working on projects that push the boundaries.
We look forward to more innovative ideas from Mitchell in the future!

On some days, when life is far from the perfection we had imagined, when things breakdown, delays pile up and unexpected tasks overwhelm, it's good to consider how this can be a good thing. Messy is not the opposite of happy, hurried is not the opposite of success.
Our own expectations often trip us up. On days when we are too busy to even think properly, we expect somehow that our abilities will remain unaffected and that everything movie-like will work according to the plan. So – answer honestly – how many days in the last month has your day gone exactly the way you expected it? Most people are at 30 to 50% of happiness with how their day evolved. So if that is true why are we setting us up with false expectations that only lead to disappointments?
A different way is needed. We need to adjust our attitudes so a certain minimum standard and consider all other achievements of the day as bonus. For example, a day is super successful if 1) you wake up on time, 2) manage to find breakfast food and coffee and 3) have the right clothes to wear for the occasion. At this point, a pause to celebrate success would be appropriate – 100% achieved already! Everything else that is good that happens that day becomes additional points beyond that – you can get 120% or 150% or even more than 200%!!!
And – anytime you get frustrated with your far from 10 out of 10 performance – either embrace your inner Fool the way Dr. Rubin recommends in this quote, or consider what advice you would give in the exact same situation if this were not you, but someone you loved – like your sister, brother or your child. Or how you would react if someone else said to a person you love the things you are thinking about your performance and constantly saying to yourself.

Happy cooking guys!
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup crushed saltine crackers
- 1/2 cup powdered parmesan
- 3 tbsp dried parsley
- 4 whole fresh garlic cloves - pressed
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- If you have a stand mixer to use it makes this recipe so much easier. If not use a large bowl.
- Put all ingredients in large bowl. If using a mixer, use the paddle attachment. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Get large frying pan and put in about 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the bottom. Set to medium heat.
- Once the meat is well mixed take small amount, about the size of a ping pong ball and roll into a ball and put into the pan. Roll the remaining into meatballs and place in pan.
- When cooking them, I prefer to fully cook them until they are well browned on all sides about 15 minutes.
- Once cooked make sure they have no pink remaining and are cooked through.
- Line a large baking pan with parchment paper. Place all the cooked meatballs on the baking sheet and place in the freezer for minimum 6 hours.
- Once frozen, remove the meatballs from the pans and place in ziploc bags in whatever quantity that will suit your family meals.

fear (of the unknown)
My eyes felt heavy, so I closed the book and dropped it over the side of the bed. I turned off the light and before my head hit the pillow I had a random thought: I wonder if death is like sleeping. "Damn it!" I said aloud. Rex lifted his head to peer over the side of the bed to see what was wrong, which made the book slide to the floor. I said, "Now I'll never get to sleep because I'll be thinking about death." Rex's head fell onto the book and he was snoring in minutes. Myself, not so much.

By CHRISTINE L. PRATT
Staff Writer
WOOSTER -- To assess a potential Hillary Clinton presidency, voters need only look at her successes as a senator, according to business leaders who say they've seen firsthand the effects of Clinton's efforts.
On a multi-day tour of Ohio, Christine Pambianchi, vice president of human resources for Corning, Garry Douglas, president of the North Country Chamber of Commerce in Plattsburgh, N.Y., and Ed Abounader, Defense Finance and Accounting Services local union president in Rome, N.Y., stopped briefly in Wooster on Tuesday.
All three are part of "Travelers for Hillary," which includes more than 60 upstate New York business and union leaders, farmers and wine growers.
Hillary Clinton led the way in promoting a national program in which school districts could apply for financial aid to retrofit school buses with environmentally friendly diesel filters. That, plus the senator's efforts to relax tariffs on the company's fiber optics products, now distributed in China, has helped to keep and create jobs for the company, Pambianchi said.
Of the retrofitting program, Pambianchi said, "Not only does it create green jobs, it makes for a healthier and cleaner environment for our children."
Similarly, Clinton used her political position to lobby for the DFAS facility in Rome, one of several slated to be closed nationwide. Now, it is one of five DFAS bases remaining, and rather than losing 343 jobs, which "would have been devastating," Abounader said, many more were and still are being created.
Beyond working to keep the Rome base open, Clinton worked with other senators to help displaced workers find places at and relocate to other DFAS bases across the country, he said.
Douglas, a Republican, said he was skeptical of Clinton's wide-reaching promises when he met her eight years ago. Since, he said, he's seen her deliver "and then more."
He praises Clinton for being a good listener, attuning herself to the needs of an upstate, Adirondack community that for decades was virtually ignored by Clinton's predecessors, said Douglas.
And, when two years ago, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals announced a 2009 relocation to Ireland, Clinton responded to the needs of a community that faced the loss of 800 jobs.
She worked with officials to turn the problem around and facilitated a relationship with investors who two months ago took over operation of the local plant, he said.
"For all the talk of change, that's real change," Douglas said.
He also notes she's been an advocate for rural areas, helping them to develop necessary resources and services.
While some upstate New York companies have felt the positive effects of Clinton's service, Tim Russert, a moderator of Tuesday's Democratic debate in Cleveland televised on MSNBC, asked Clinton about promises she made as a candidate for the U.S. Senate. Russert noted she promised 200,000 jobs then, but the region has experienced a net decline of 30,000 jobs. Clinton, who told Russert she made the promise assuming Al Gore would be elected, attributed her inability to deliver to the election of President George W. Bush.
Clinton, according to Balderston, has worked with owners of cottage industries, helping them to establish a larger market for products and get the financial support necessary to compete outside the big city.
Since seeing Clinton in action, Douglas said, his support for the senator's bid for the Democratic nomination and the presidency is "not about votes. It's because she cares about rural areas.
"She has remarkable curiosity. She does not assume she knows all the answers. She really listens and asks the right questions," said Douglas. "We need a president who is curious."

The Australian Clogging Association (ACA) is an Australia wide organisation of Clogging dancers and leaders. It provides services for and promotes the growth of clogging groups throughout Australia. Clogging (or Appalachian Mountain Folk Dance) is an American folk dance that has its origins in the Southern Appalachian Mountains of the United States of America. While it has strong ties to the step dances of the British Isles brought to the region by white settlers, clogging is also influenced by the traditional dance of Native Americans, and the traditional solo dances of African Americans. Clogging is a misnomer, since it is not performed in clogs, although some of the original step dances from Europe were. Nevertheless, the name persists, although in Appalachia, this form of percussive dance is often only known as buck dancing or flatfooting or just "dancing".
