Huntington Beach Couple Admits to Insurance Fraud, Receives Probation
Hung Ta and Tam Truong, a couple from Huntington Beach, have pleaded guilty to a felony count of money laundering related to insurance fraud. They were sentenced to four days in jail, which they have already served, and ordered to pay $27,696 in restitution. The couple initially claimed their home was burglarized in 2017, filing a theft affidavit for $878,018 in lost property. However, they were only paid $127,876 by National General Insurance. A federal investigation revealed falsified receipts amounting to $68,815. As part of a plea deal, additional charges of grand theft and making false claims were dismissed, and the couple was placed on two years of formal probation.
