Kingpin runners. Even standing alone the term commands attention. But the full breadth of what kingpin runners mean to fraud operations isn't always clear to outsiders.
As an attorney whose firm concentrates on investigating, litigating and preventing fraud whenever possible, for more than 20 years the practice has focused on Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and Bodily Injury (BI) fraud primarily as it relates to staged automobile accidents.
There were stories about kingpin runners. Others involved in their scams shared some details, so there was a general idea of how these fraudulent operations worked. But a kingpin runner has never provided me with a detailed, blow-by-blow account of how these schemes actually came together and operated – primarily because the kingpins either simply refused to speak during their incarceration or because they asserted their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination.
