I’m surprised this hasn’t been posted yet. This has been a long time coming. This saga has basically entangled half the law firms in the state of Louisiana. I was starting to wonder if charges would ever follow. Surely posters know Huye from either Epsicopal BR or the legal practice (if you can call what McClenny Moseley did the practice of law).
Also, it’s a bill of information and lots of speculating he’s flipping on the Texas partners.

A) they are republicans who donated to Landry
B) 2/3 of them from Dallas Fort Worth
C) the actions primarily took place with regard to the Western District of LA not New Orleans

According to the Insurance Company lawyers they represented 70/80% of all
Policy holders with claims from Ida. Of course they were fricking Texas Lawyers …,

A lot of unknowing lawyers and support staff got dragged into this in that firm too. They trusted their boss.

I remember when the story of the license suspension first broke. Someone on here, I think, posted a clip of the owner/partner of the firm's Wolf of Wall Street-esque call to the firm about how all of this was bulllshit

On April 5, state insurance investigators turned over their file on the largest fraud case they’d ever handled to Attorney General Jeff Landry’s office for possible criminal prosecution.
That same day, records show a leading suspect in that case, Houston attorney Zach Moseley, gave Landry’s campaign for governor the maximum donation allowed by law.

You’re welcome. The rabbit hole in this case is endless. Obviously no was murdered like with the Motta stuff but the implications are larger. The amount of convoluted litigation this generated is off the fricking charts.

He knew exactly what he was doing. He was by all accounts a driving force in this scheme. Allegedly he was unceremoniously voted by his law school class mates “most likely to fly too close to the sun.”
Someone else mentioned that some low level guys at the firm didn’t know any better and that’s probably true. They were hiring a bunch of legal misfits and beer buddies who couldn’t find better jobs and giving them low level work. The upper echelon however consisted of amoral criminals with sky high ambition and zero scruples. The behind the scenes stories I’ve heard are wild.

If this isn’t a RICO case I don’t know what is.

I don’t even understand the “scheme”. The information provided contradicts itself.
If this is correct, the people expected repairs not payments.
Yet the charges were
Eight people out of 865 is less than a 1% error rate. It sounds like the guy made a stupid decision due to his lack of understanding about insurance law and when it was discovered he was past the point of no return and made a stupider decisions to get himself out of a predicament.
I also don’t understand why he forged the firm’s representation when most of those people likely would have signed had he asked.

The document detailed the effects of the alleged fraud on eight homeowners, who did not receive money to repair their roofs or did not receive as much as they were owed after some of the money was used to cover unapproved attorney's fees.
