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!

The Fresno Fraud Family, Walstad’s Rebranding Fails to Fool the Law 🐷

  Well, my darlings, it seems the tea is particularly scalding today! Mrs. Piggy here, ready to pull back the curtain on yet another act of audacious deceit. Enter stage left: Michael Walstad, now trying to reinvent himself as Michael A. Betrovian . Yes, you heard that right. The head honcho of the infamous Fresno Fraud Family has gone full-on undercover, slapping a shiny new name on his old, tired bag of tricks.

Rebranding Gone Wrong Changing your name from Walstad to Betrovian might sound fancy, but it’s about as effective as putting lipstick on a pig.

False Sense of Security: How Staffing Fraud Creeps In Through Compliance Gaps 🐷💼

  Ohhh, my precious little overachievers, just because you have a compliance checklist doesn't mean you're safe. In fact, that clipboard might just be lulling you into a fabulous little trap. ✨ Because staffing fraud? It slinks right in through the cracks you didn’t even know were there. You see, fraudsters don’t break down the front door. Oh no. They glide in through the side entrance, flashing a pretty COI, a neatly signed contract, and just enough jargon to make your compliance officer nod along. And while you’re patting yourself on the back for your due diligence? They’re quietly torching your liability protections behind the scenes. Maybe you accepted a certificate without verifying it. Maybe you skimmed over payroll verification because they sounded “so trustworthy.” Maybe you assumed a broker wouldn’t dare risk their license. Darling, assumptions are where fraud sets up its dressing room. And when the lights come up and the lawsuits arrive, you’ll find out the hard ...
