When all is said and done, I\’ll be interested to see if the sisters were doing
what was ethical or criminal.
To me, this depends on if what they say State Farm was doing was actually what occurred…So, we shall see….
People who report wrongdoing by their employers to the proper authorities (insurance commissioner, attorney general, the SEC) are whistleblowers and entitled to certain legal protections. People who steal documents from their employers and give them to a party that is suing their employer or their employers client are guilty of theft. Lawyers that accept such documents are guilty of receiving stolen property and risk having evidence, that could have been obtained properly by subpoena, excluded from evidence.
Sounds like Dickie might be helping a well known North Mississippi author with his next best seller, thinly disguised as fiction. Would it be the first time?
Sounds like a plot for a new book for a North Mississippi well known best selling author. Don\’t think it would be the first time. Always wondered if attorneys
got royalties on those thinly disguised plot lines.
IF there was fraud on State Farms part, the sisters will certainly be protected by federal whistleblower laws as all of the information was also handed over to both the Attorney General for the state AND the US Attorney for Mississippi.
Also, I doubt most of that information could have been gotten through the courts as it has been well documented in the press that State Farm has shredded tens of thousands of work papers since the storm.
Now the federal grand jury in Jackson is looking into state Farms past for a pattern of fraud…. Hell and State Farm has even taken the unprecedented action of NOT using Haag as of late…..LOL… im sure in the end they will lay it off on the Engineering Firm.
State Farm has forgotten what insurance is all about. Banding risk for mutual protection. Profit is the byproduct of corporations taking on this protection for groups. State Farm has forgotten its about the people first and foremost.
Second, the sisters may have illegally stolen the papers. If so, the state AGs have every right to subpoena them as evidence, and thereby enter them in the legal record. Once there, ANYONE may use and sue.
One group of companies in the United States has not forgotten what insurance is about and that is your local mutual company. In recent storms here, most mutuals had claims paid off under two weeks. People are STILL waiting on State Farm.
I see jail time and $$$ billions in fines. The thing I am wondering is why this is not in the press. This affects soooo many people right in the pocket book.

I hope these sisters are fined and imprisoned. No one is above the law.
No one is above the law, including giant State Farm.

My take on this is that IF there is indeed fraud, the Sisters should prevail.
I do not think any \”secrecy agreement\” is legally binding in the cases of any illegal activity. It would be \”collusion\” to do so.

You mentioned that well known Mississippi author capitalizing on insurance reality; my favorite line of his is, \”You are stupid, Stupid, STUPID!\”.
Well I guess we can use that line for State Farm. Having seen their internal processes at work, I have little doubt about the validity of the claim.
