1. Comprehensive Enforcement Strategy
Federal Disaster Fraud Task Force:
- 5,000 Agents: FBI, DOJ, FTC, and state AGs
- Mission: Prosecute all disaster-related crimes
- Insurance fraud (denials)
- Price gouging
- Land grabs
- Contractor fraud
- FEMA fraud (people claiming assistance fraudulently)
Real-Time Monitoring:
During Disasters: Task force deploys immediately - Monitor prices, insurance claims, and property sales - Undercover operations (catch gougers and land grabbers)
Victim Hotline:
- 1-800-STOP-FRAUD: Report price gouging, insurance denials, and predatory offers
- 24/7: Agents respond, investigate immediately
2. Aggressive Prosecution
Mandatory Minimums:
- Price Gouging: 5 years federal prison
- Insurance Claim Denial (Bad Faith): 10 years
- Land Grab Fraud: 15 years
- RICO (Organized Disaster Profiteering): 20 years to life
Asset Forfeiture:
- All Profits from Disaster Crimes: are seized
- Personal Wealth: Of executives and owners are seized
- Real Estate: Acquired through land grabs = forfeited (returned to victims)
Corporate Death Penalty:
- Companies that Systematically Exploit Disasters: Charter is revoked
- Insurance company denies 10,000 claims = dissolved
- Hotel chain gouges in 100 locations = dissolved
3. Example Total Accountability Campaign
After the Next Major Hurricane:
- Within 24 Hours: Task force is deployed
- Within 1 Week: 500 price gouging arrests
- Within 1 Month: 50 land grab stings (developers are arrested for trying to buy properties)
- Within 6 Months: Insurance company CEOs are indicted (systematic claims denial)
- Within 1 Year: $100 billion in restitution to victims
Televised Prosecutions:
- Perp Walks: Daily news (hotel managers, gas station owners, developers, and insurance executives)
- Trials: Broadcast (transparency and deterrence)
- Sentencing: Publicized (20-year sentences for disaster profiteers)
The Message:
- Exploit Disaster Victims = Serious Federal Crime
- Will Be Caught, Prosecuted, Imprisoned, and Bankrupted
- No Mercy, No Settlements, No Plea Deals = African Honey Badger Enforcement
