Feds Bust Up $100 Million NC Crop Insurance Fraud Ring - WSPA-TV
Federal authorities in North Carolina have unraveled a massive criminal conspiracy they say defrauded $100 million from the government-backed program that insures farmers against crop losses.

The ring filed false insurance claims for weather-related loses of tobacco, soybeans, wheat and corn. Often, the crops weren't damaged at all, with farmers later selling their written-off harvests under false aliases.
