One Fake Staffing Agency Stole Millions—And Who’s Left Holding the Bag 🐷💼

Oh honey, let’s not mince words, this isn’t just a scandal. It’s a heist. A full blown, high gloss, legally questionable performance starring a fake staffing agency, forged insurance, and a trail of unpaid claims so long it could wrap around Rodeo Drive twice.

This particular fraudster set up shop with all the bells, all the whistles, and not a single ounce of actual coverage. They handed out bogus Certificates of Insurance like hors d’oeuvres at a gala, wooed clients with below market rates, and promised they were “fully insured.” Darling, the only thing full was their pockets.

And while they strutted away with millions, yes, millions in revenue, who’s left holding the bag when the claims roll in and the lawsuits fly? The clients. The businesses. The ones who trusted the glitter and forgot to verify the gold.

Those injured workers? Their benefits never arrive. The worksite employers? On the hook for everything. The insurers? Blindsided. And the fraudster? Gone. Off to start their next fake agency under a new name, in a new city, with the same dirty tricks.

So here’s the real heartbreak, my love: this didn’t have to happen. One phone call to verify the insurance policy, one demand for transparency, one refusal to trust a deal that looked too good to be legal, that could’ve saved an entire company from financial ruin.

Let it be a lesson for all the fabulous CEOs out there: glamour without integrity is just a scam in stilettos.

The Fraudsters of Fresno, The Tip of The Iceberg!

Exposing Bad Players in the Staffing and Insurance Industry: The Mrs. Piggy Saga Introduction In the shadowy corners of the staffing and insurance industry, where deals are brokered and secrets whispered, there exists a character known as Mrs. Piggy . She’s not your typical insurance agent or HR recruiter. No, Mrs. Piggy is a staffing spanking dominatrix —a force to be reckoned with, wielding her metaphorical whip to expose the underbelly of an industry rife with deception. This blog post aims to peel back the layers and shed light on the murky practices that have plagued the staffing and insurance world. Buckle up; we’re diving deep into the rabbit hole, and Mrs. Piggy is leading the way. The MEWA Fraud Case, A Five-Year Odyssey Our story begins with the MEWA Fraud Case , a saga that has simmered for half a decade.

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. But here’s the catch, no one’s buying it, least of all the law. Buckle up, because this tale is juicier than a watermelon on a summer’s day. 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. The Fraud Family’s trail of deceit is long, winding, and riddled with enough legal violations to fill a textbook. From skipping out on workers’ compensation insurance to cooking the payroll books, this isn’t just bad business, it’s outright criminal. The Laws They’ve Trampled Let’s unpack the ...

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 ...
