Huntington Beach Couple Pleads Guilty to Insurance Fraud, Faces Minimal Jail Time
Hung Ta and Tam Truong, a couple from Huntington Beach, have pleaded guilty to a felony count of money laundering related to insurance fraud. The couple was initially charged with multiple counts of grand theft and making false claims, but these were dropped as part of a plea deal. They were sentenced to four days in jail, which they have already served, and ordered to pay $27,696 in restitution. The charges stem from a 2017 incident where they falsely reported a burglary at their home, claiming losses of $878,018. However, they were only paid $127,876 by National General Insurance. A federal investigation revealed that they had falsified receipts amounting to $68,815. Truong admitted to the falsification during the investigation.
