Putting a face on White Collar Crime in California:
I first met Robert “Baby-Face Bobbie” Quaid just after he transferred from policy (sales) into claims as a claims adjustor. He was part of the secret group that helped management subvert the Process of Law by convincing our entire claims department (and literally our entire district office) that “we had to bribe a judge because we broke the law and made ‘huge mistakes’ that could send us all to jail and I certainly don’t want to go to jail for what we did.”
For his complicity in helping management conspire to bribe a judge and cover up the multiple, state-sanctioned criminal endeavors that went on at State Fund state-wide (that added up to billions of dollars) , Baby-Face Bobbie Quaid’s future was assured – first he was made our internal investigator and thus put in charge of hiding schemes to loot the state that were officially state-sanctioned – those by managers, the law enforcement unions, doctors, applicant attorneys and of course, the judges.
I know he hid these schemes because I reported a goodly number of them to him directly. He would only laugh each time I told him I would report whatever it is he refused to take action on, saying things like: “what are you going to do, report me to the CHP?” He was safe, protected, knowing that he – “The Law” - was safely “Above The Law” because “The Law” was involved in activities against “The Process of Law” and thus it was all okie-dokie with everyone I ever talked to about it or reported it to.
To the best of my recollection, he only reported fraudulent claims committed by individual workers and not those created officially by the multiple and various types of state-sanctioned fraud that went on state-wide at SCIF. To my direct knowledge, he refused to report crooked professionals who broke the law and/or profited illegally in some way – this included many doctors, even more lawyers and to my surprise and shock, a growing number of judges as I found them – 30 or so to date.
Similarly, he refused to report the official, state-sanctioned abuse of migrant farm workers; the abuses and tax frauds committed by farmers and other employers; our attempts to bribe and manipulate politicians, appointees or others in government or even Chief’s Disease – all of which were approved or tolerated, caused by and/or protected by the very people I worked with and reported it to in a manner that made me speculate about racketeering in a global sense after discovering how far it all extended.
I viewed it all as a hugely unconstitutional, human and civil rights violation situation with the added onus of having an illegal tax fraud conspiracy included as the probable basis for it all and reported it all as such to no avail.
As reward for what he was willing to do to keep me quiet in open retaliation for my being a whistle blower and trying to stop white collar crime, he was fast-tracked into various management slots, eventually rising to claims manager and no doubt by now rising even higher thanks to his “unique skill set” and for “what he was willing to do”.
Who says white collar crime doesn’t pay in state service – just ask “Baby-Face, the man with the flexible values.”
