BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Bentley

A 23-year-old man in Holbrook, Massachusetts, was riding in the fraud fast lane until someone reported their suspicions to the Massachusetts Insurance Fraud Bureau.

A statewide grand jury has indicted Dion Augustin after evidence alleged that he bought luxury cars with fraudulent financing in order to purposely damage them and collect more than $200,000 in fraudulent insurance claims, The Patriot Ledger reported Monday.

Ms. Augustin is accused of buying a number of luxury cars, including a Bentley, a Maserati and two Fisker Karmas by “misrepresenting” how creditworthy he was to gain $136,940 in car financing, according to the article.

Charged with seven counts of larceny of more than $250 under false pretenses and eight counts of motor vehicle insurance fraud, he will be arraigned at a later date, the newspaper reported.
