In this explosive episode of Fraudcraft, Teena sits down with:
• Mariana Bension-Larkin — President of AIJIC (Association of Independent Judicial Interpreters of California)
• Shaddi Kamiabipour — Former Criminal Prosecutor
They discuss disturbing allegations of certified court interpreters being impersonated during California workers’ compensation depositions.
According to sworn declarations, individuals allegedly appeared at remote depositions using:
• The names of certified interpreters
• Fake badges
• Stolen professional identities
AIJIC filed a lawsuit against national vendor OneCall after sending cease-and-desist letters that allegedly did not stop the conduct.
We discuss:
• Why interpreter certification matters
• How a non-certified interpreter can invalidate legal proceedings
• Identity theft implications
• Billing transparency issues
• Potential insurance fraud exposure
• Why carriers and law enforcement responses matter
• The systemic risk to employers, claimants, and attorneys
If you work in:
• Workers’ compensation
• Insurance claims
• SIU investigations
• District Attorney offices
• Law firms
• Court reporting
• Medical-legal services
You need to understand this issue.
