By 2016, every state and the District of Columbia had enacted laws that classify fraud as a crime, at least for some lines of insurance, and have instituted immunity for reporting insurance fraud. Some experts believe immunity laws should be expanded to include good faith exchanges of certain claims-related information among insurance companies. Auto insurers lose at least $29 billion a year, according to a 2017 study by Verisk, to premium leakage, the “omitted or misstated underwriting information that leads to inaccurate rates.” Several types of information failures and fraudulent practices drive costs up, such as unrecognized drivers ($10.3 billion), underestimated mileage ($5.4 billion), violations/accidents ($3.4 billion), and false garaging to lower premiums ($2.9 billion).

The agreement stems from the FTC’s 1990 complaint naming Newport Gems, Inc., doing business as Capital Assets International; RIME Inc., doing business as First Capital Trading Co.; and three individuals that they falsely represented the value, past appreciation, investment risk, likely resale price, and ease of liquidating their gemstones. To settle the charges against GSI and Koethe, in connection with any appraisal services they perform on gemstones or any other assets sold as investments, they would be prohibited from, among other things, falsely representing the cost or the fair market, wholesale, replacement or cash-liquidation value of the asset and have agreed to clearly and prominently disclose on every document they issue discussing an investment in gemstones, that “purchasing gemstones as an investment is very risky”.

Settlements negotiated by the FTC with several Los Angeles-area based defendants, charged by the FTC with operating a deceptive telemarketing scheme to sell gemstones as investments, include a total of $115,000 in redress for consumers who lost money in the scheme. The prices paid by consumers ranged from less than $2,000 to tens of thousands of dollars. The stones, including tourmalines, tsavorites, tanzanites, and spinels sold for prices ranging from a few thousand dollars to many tens of thousands of dollars, through unsolicited telephone calls to consumers. CEO, Sarabeth Koethe allegedly provided appraisal certificates that substantially overstated the values of the gemstones and bore no relation to the values at which consumers could resell their gemstones. They also delivered gemstones inferior in quality to those ordered, kept consumers’ gemstones and replaced them ones of lesser value.

The evidence at trial showed they made false statements and representations to induce customers to purchase and invest in gemstones at vastly inflated prices.
