from FreightCasts · host FreightWaves
In this episode of Fraud Watch, Phillip Brink sits down with Christopher Allen, also known as Tim Bannon, to tell the origin story behind The Bannon Report. Chris talks about how he unknowingly worked inside a fraud adjacent insurance agency and started noticing things that did not add up. He saw patterns tied to double brokering, identity theft, and cargo fraud. As the warning signs grew, he began quietly warning brokers about carriers that looked risky. The conversation also looks at how some agencies act like chameleon carriers. They change names and identities while continuing to insure the same high risk operations. Those early warnings are what eventually led to the creation of The Bannon Report. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
