How a Multi Million Dollar Fraud Ring Operated for Years Before Anyone Noticed 🐷💼

Ohhh, sit down, sweetheart, this one’s juicier than a season finale. We’re talking about a multi million dollar staffing fraud ring that ran for years under everyone’s noses. Charming CEOs, polished websites, forged documents so flawless they deserved an Oscar, and not one regulator blinked.

How did they pull it off? Simple. They mastered the art of looking legitimate. Fake Certificates of Insurance? Check. Payroll run through shell companies? Double check. Workers misclassified and underreported? Darling, they had spreadsheets of lies. And while the fraud piled up, they kept rebranding, reshuffling, and whispering sweet nothings into the ears of clients desperate for cheap labor and quick hires.

And those clients? Oh, honey. They didn’t verify. They didn’t ask questions. They just signed, smiled, and assumed everyone was playing by the rules. Until the claims started hitting. Until the lawsuits arrived. Until the auditors asked, “Wait, who’s actually insured here?”

By then, the fraud ring had already moved on to their next glittery disguise. Millions stolen. Workers unprotected. Businesses left holding a flaming bag of liability wrapped in fake compliance.

So what’s the moral of this messy masterpiece? Fraud doesn’t always look shady. Sometimes, it shows up with a glossy proposal, a low bid, and a handshake.

Don’t fall for it, darling. Verify. Confirm. Dig deep. Because Miss Piggy may love drama, but not when your business is the punchline.

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.

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 ...
