Andy Jungsik Kim, owner of a California cell phone retailer, has been sentenced to three years and four months in state prison for his involvement in more than 2,000 fraudulent insurance claims. He pleaded guilty.
The California Insurance Department (CDI) says Kim, 37, of Studio City, Calif., will serve the sentence for grand theft, multiple counts of identity theft and for possession of a forged driver's license. The court has also ordered Kim to pay restitution.
According to authorities in October 2009, Asurion Insurance Services, a nationwide insurance company specializing in insuring cell phones, reported suspected cell phone insurance fraud activity involving Kim's store Skyland Cellular. The retailer has two cell phone stores in Los Angeles, Calif.
