S2 E5 Senator Jeremy Cooney: The Fraud Act

On this episode of insights. intouch., Kristin Thorne sits down with New York State Senator Jeremy Cooney, Chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, for a candid discussion about New York’s proposed FRAUD Act and the growing impact of staged accident schemes across the state. From construction site fraud to organized auto insurance scams, Senator Cooney outlines why lawmakers believe stronger criminal penalties and enforcement tools are necessary to combat what many describe as a rapidly escalating crisis. The conversation explores the financial burden fraudulent claims place on businesses, insurers, and consumers alike, while also examining how collaboration between government, law enforcement, and the private sector may be critical in changing the culture surrounding insurance fraud in New York.Thank you for listening!  If you would like to be a guest on the show or have a fraud story we should look into email us at [email protected] For more information about the iFraud Foundation visit www.ifraud.org
