In this insightful episode of Fraudcraft, host Teena sits down with Don Marshall, a recently retired Vice President of a national insurance company's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) and former Chair, California Fraud Assessment Commission.
With more than 40 years investigating fraud and leading fraud-fighting teams, Don reveals how fraud syndicates operate inside the workers’ compensation system — and why many of these crimes are harder to stop than most people realize.
From fraudulent medical clinics and staged injury claims to corrupt networks of attorneys, recruiters, and medical providers, Don shares real stories from the front lines of insurance fraud investigations.
In this episode you’ll learn:
• How fraud investigators uncover illegal medical clinics and “claim mills”
• The investigative techniques used to expose fraud syndicates
• Why many fraud cases fail inside the system
• The personality traits of fraudsters who run these schemes
• How investigators can build stronger fraud cases
• Why some of the best investigators don’t come from law enforcement
If you are an investigator, attorney, claims professional, law enforcement officer, or someone interested in the hidden world of organized fraud, this episode provides an insider look rarely shared publicly.
If you're a company doing business in California, you need to be aware and protect yourself from fraud syndicates who want to solicit your employees & entice them into filing false fraud claims.
Fraudcraft brings you conversations with subject matter experts exposing fraud schemes, fraud syndicates, and the tradecraft used to investigate them.

What happens when a seasoned violent crimes prosecutor is reassigned to the insurance fraud unit?
In this episode, we sit down with a career retired prosecutor who made the challenging transition from prosecuting violent crimes to tackling complex insurance fraud schemes. She shares what surprised her most about the move, the steep learning curve involved, and why fraud cases can be just as difficult—and just as impactful—as traditional violent crime prosecutions.
We discuss:
The mindset shift required when moving from violent crime to financial fraud
Identifying provider fraud
The challenges of charging and prosecuting fraud syndicates & how to create proper informational messaging for Judges & Jurors
Why fraud cases are often underestimated by those outside the system
The real-world consequences of insurance fraud on businesses, victims, and the justice system
This episode offers a rare inside look at how prosecutors adapt to white-collar crime, what it takes to build strong fraud cases, and why insurance fraud deserves serious attention.
Whether you’re an investigator, attorney, business owner, or simply curious about how fraud is prosecuted, this conversation pulls back the curtain on a side of the justice system few people ever see.
