A recent investigation by 60 Minutes has revealed that insurance companies in Florida may have engaged in systemic fraud following Hurricane Ian. Ben Mandell, a licensed insurance adjuster, reported that his damage assessments were altered to exclude roof replacements, which he deemed illegal. Mandell was subsequently fired for refusing to comply. Whistleblowers claim that some Florida homeowners were shortchanged in their insurance payouts. This issue has sparked outrage, with calls for action from Florida Democrats and criticism of Governor Ron DeSantis and Attorney General Ashley Moody for their inaction. Florida officials have now opened a criminal investigation into these allegations.
