S2 E68 NYC RICO vs Asher Associates

Not every fraud fight starts with an insurance carrier. Sometimes, the plaintiff is New York City. In this Deep Dive, we examine the City’s federal lawsuit against Asher & Associates and its attorneys, alleging that injuries from crashes, assaults, and unrelated incidents were repackaged as fraudulent claims blaming City roadways. The complaint invokes RICO and state and city False Claims Acts, alleging a network of attorneys, runners, and litigation funders working to advance fabricated cases. We unpack the allegations, the alleged operation, and the broader stakes when taxpayer dollars are on the line. #TheDeepDive #LitigationFraud #RICO #InsuranceFraud
