I wish the article had some more specifics about the fraud scheme. I hate articles like that - 3/4 of it is telling us who Alshon is and about his football career with only about 2 sentences about the alleged crime.

And when interviweing student athletes, I would like for interviewers to ask at least a question or two about academics on occasion.

A little insurance fraud? He’ll do some comm service, pay a little restitution, and he’ll be back. Love AJ

Yeah, I'm not a TMZ reader but I saw Alshon trending on Google so I just posted the first story I found. TMZ is like a modern day National Inquirer. That was a vague writeup.

There's some more details here. I couldn't find anything where he's spoken in detail about it.

Good info in that story. I was thinking maybe it was one of those NFL schemes other players have been arrested for. Sounds like it's a personal situation involving his auto coverage.

From the details provided it is fraud, though most insurers (in my experience) don't accept claims made less than 30 days after the effective date of a new policy. If he reported the date of the accident to conveniently be after the start of the reinstated policy, that's technically a fraudulent claim. However, it probably wouldn't have been honored even if the date was correct since it's within a week of the start of the new policy. Hopefully that will allow for leniency.

I don't know about California, but that is not true in SC. If you purchase insurance on Feb. 1st and are in an accident on Feb 2nd you are covered.

I was speaking of California, and a policy that actually makes sense. SC would have to be extremely vigilant about enforcing fraud, otherwise a lot of people would be uninsured until they have an accident. Without a police report people could get away with fudging the dates.

The accident must have happened in California, as implied by, "according to California law" in the article.

If they could get away with it, they could use an app to get car insurance while still at the accident scene. 🤔
