American Greed takes you inside a Philadelphia car insurance fraud ring where everybody got a piece of the action.
Case File
Crash for Crash
- On the streets of Philadelphia, a massive auto insurance fraud ring was making millions. Tow truck drivers, auto body shops, chiropractors, attorneys...even corrupt police officers were on the take in a scam that ran from 2003 to 2007. Wallace "Pop" Morris trolled the highways as a so-called "wreck chaser" bringing in damaged cars to body shops for a price. Together with tow truck driver Jerry "B.J." Bassengale and a team of accomplices, they staged dozens of car accidents and submitted fake claims to insurance companies. The scheme was just the beginning of what would eventually become a multi-million dollar masterpiece of fraud!
