The Olde Time Fire - Arson For Profit  

True Crime Stories from an Insurance Fraud Expert  Barry Zalma, Esq., CFE presents videos so you can learn how insurance  fraud is perpetrated and what is necessary to deter or defeat insurance  fraud. This Video Blog of True Crime Stories of Insurance Fraud with the  names and places changed to protect the guilty are all based upon  investigations conducted by me and fictionalized to create a learning  environment for claims personnel, SIU investigators, insurers, police,  and lawyers better understand insurance fraud and weapons that can be  used to deter or defeat a fraudulent insurance claim.  The brothers were operating a successful bar and grill in once bustling  steel mill town of Fontana, California. Drawing on the hard drinking,  fast living steel workers their Olde Tyme Bar and Grill was a success.  They would sell five to ten barrels of beer a day. The bar was noisy and  violent. Seldom would a night pass without a fight breaking out.  The brothers tired of the fights and boisterous customers decided to  move to an area with a better class of clientele. 

They ignored that  their success was as a result of the type of people they served.  They rented a 7,000 square foot restaurant in the college town of  Claremont. The brothers\\u2019 called it the Olde Tyme Restaurant and  furnished it much like their bar and grill. Infatuated by their success  in the mill town they signed a twenty-year lease on the property. The  brothers even added one thousand square feet to the restaurant. They  spent most of the profits they had made from the Olde Tyme Bar and Grill  in remodeling the new restaurant in Claremont. They opened with fanfare  and initial success. An old time bar and grill in a college and bedroom  community was a novelty.  In two months, the novelty wore off. The brothers found that they were  serving lunch to two couples. Dinner and dancing clients usually did not  outnumber the waiters and waitresses. Fear struck the brothers with  images of imminent failure and bankruptcy.
