Inside the Black Market Workers' Compensation Scandal, the Next Big Short!

Mrs. Piggie

Hey there, Buzzfeed & Google readers! Strap in, because we're about to take a deep dive into a story that sounds like it's straight out of a Hollywood script, except it's very real and it's unfolding in sunny California.


The Shadow World of Workers' Comp


In the bustling light industrial temporary staffing world, a scandal is simmering, and it's being bankrolled by none other than PAYCHEX. Picture this: a multi-billion dollar bubble swelling under our feet, ready to pop and send shockwaves through the lives of workers, taxpayers, insurance companies, banks, and businesses alike.

The Trifecta of Trouble


Why is this bubble growing faster than a TikTok trend? Three words: demand, supply, and, sadly, fraud. There's a ravenous hunger for workers, and temporary staffing agencies are feeling the pressure to deliver, consequences be damned. With insurance fraud ramping up, insurers are backing out, leaving a gaping hole for shady dealings. And let's not even start on the regulatory agencies that are snoozing while fraudsters party.

A Market in Mayhem


Here's where it gets dicey. Companies are turning a blind eye to dodgy insurance certificates because, hey, cheap labor, right? This ruthless bidding war is leaving the good guys, the legit staffing agencies, in the dust. California, known for its sun and surf, is now also the epicenter for staffing scams.

The Cast of Enablers


And who's bankrolling this charade? Factoring companies and banks, who'd otherwise steer clear from non-compliant agencies, are now in bed with the so-called 'gypsy staffing agencies.' Why? Money talks, friends. And it's not just them. Honest agencies could blow the whistle, but with regulators like the Department of Industrial Relations and the Labor Standards Enforcement playing hot potato with responsibility, it's become a free-for-all.

Human Trafficking's Dark Turn


In a horrifying twist, human traffickers are cashing in, exploiting immigrants trapped in a web of fear. If these workers get hurt, they're thrown into an underground medical system that does the bare minimum, only to be discarded if things get too serious.


An Eco-system of Destruction


We're talking about a complete financial meltdown, where 90% of the funds controlled by temp agencies—meant for workers, government taxes, and insurance—are being gobbled up by criminals. It's a buffet of tax fraud, wage theft, and a devastating blow to honest businesses.

The Play


So, what's the master plan? Start by shorting Paychex stock. Why? They're knee-deep in this mess with their factoring company, Advance Funding, which is financing a whopping estimated $7 billion of this shady business.

Aggressive Action Needed


We need to turn up the heat and call out everyone from the CEO of Paychex to the Department of Industrial Relations, big-name CEOs, and even the California insurance commissioner. It's a who's who of complacency and corruption.

I'm Ms. Piggie, your Staffing Agency Spanking Dominatrix, and I've got years of examples to back this up. We need to slam the brakes on this runaway train before it's too late. Otherwise, we'll be left asking the same questions we did when scandals like Madoff, the opioid crisis, and the housing market crash hit.


Regulators might be scratching their heads or lining their pockets, but it's up to us to shine a light on this dark corner of the labor market. Stay tuned, because this story isn't over yet—not by a long shot!

Piggybacking, A Fraudulent Tail (and Tale) in Workers' Comp 🐷💼

  Oh, darlings, do pull up a chair because Miss Piggy has a scandal to unravel that’s juicier than a gossip column and dirtier than a pigsty. It’s the sordid tale of piggybacking,   a fraudulent scheme in workers’ compensation that’s turning the staffing industry into a circus of greed and deceit. And let me tell you, the stars of this show aren’t just shady; they’re downright villainous. Now, for the uninitiated, piggybacking isn’t some cute term for teamwork. No, no, it’s when a staffing agency skips out on buying its own workers' comp insurance and instead borrows another company’s policy like a bad houseguest who never leaves. These fraudsters, the so called Piggybackers, parade their fake certificates of insurance (oh, the audacity! 🐽) while unsuspecting workers and businesses are left footing the bill when things go south. Take Mike Ersling, for instance, a name that deserves its own place in the fraud hall of fame. This porky perpetrator shoved $300 million of payroll ...
