Florida Woman APPROVED $1.7M In Fake Claims As Police ARREST Her Own Mother

A state worker in Tallahassee was paid to review damage claims against the State of Florida. Investigators say Briana McCarthy, a former Risk Management Program Specialist at the Florida Department of Financial Services, approved 224 suspicious property damage claims between 2021 and 2024, worth about $1.7 million in taxpayer money. According to arrest records, nearly 80 claimants had no vehicle registered in Florida, 48 claims were approved the same day they arrived, and suspect documents were found in her desk. More than 30 people have now been charged, including 14 former state employees, McCarthy's mother and her sister. Florida's Chief Financial Officer put it this way: "If you steal from Florida taxpayers, you will go to jail."

So how did one desk move that much money for three years without anyone noticing?
