Local Insurance Company Accused of Defrauding Local Small Businesses

By Deepashree S [via Wikimedia Commons]

Welcome to our letters to the editor/opinion section. To submit yours for consideration, please send to [email protected]. Please consider including an image to be used–either a photograph of you or something applicable to the letter. However, an image is not necessary for publication. Remember opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect that of Redheaded Blackbelt.

[From the Editor: After receiving this letter, we spoke to one other small business that confirmed the money they gave to Ford Insurance Agency for worker’s compensation insurance was never applied to a policy. Anecdotally, we have heard of others. The District Attorney’s Office will neither confirm nor deny they are working on a case against Ford Insurance.]

To the community,

Humboldt Redwood Healing, a lawfully organized and operating nonprofit mutual benefit corporation, contracted with John Ford of Ford Insurance Agency for the purchase of worker’s compensation insurance for its employees.  After paying John Ford of Ford Insurance Agency the funds necessary to purchase worker’s compensation insurance, Humboldt Redwood Healing became aware that no insurance had been purchased for the company’s employees with the money that was provided to John Ford. After becoming aware that the money provided to John Ford of Ford Insurance Agency had not been used to purchase workers’ compensation insurance for the company’s employees, the company made a report to the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office.

On  October 21st 2016  a search of John Ford’s insurance company was conducted by the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office. The matter is currently being investigated by Humboldt County District Attorney Investigator, Martin Morris. A civil complaint against John Ford has also been filed alleging breach of contract and embezzlement in violation of Penal Code section 503, 506 and 508.

If you, or your business, have or has purchased insurance from John Ford of Ford Insurance Agency you may want to confirm that you do, in fact, have insurance.  If you have paid for insurance and have not received an insurance policy, please contact the Humboldt County District Attorney’s office at (707)445-7411, attention: Martin Morris so that the District Attorney’s office can fully investigate this matter and protect others that might similarly find that, despite paying John Ford of Ford Insurance Agency funds necessary for insurance, they do not have insurance for their company and/or their employees.

Sincerely,
Thomas Mulder CEO/President
Humboldt Redwood Healing

Kym, you posted a press release from this John Ford sixteen months ago.

https://kymkemp.com/2015/08/16/oh-deer-will-cannabis-insurance-cover-this/

Someone using the handle “John Ford” made several comments there, however they never answered this one:

“What is your license number with the D.O.I.? It is my understanding that it should be listed with all your agent correspondence.”

When they refer to themselves as a “nonprofit mutual benefit corporation” and the word “healing” is in their title, it’s safe to assume they are dealing with medical cannabis.

Looks like everyone wants in on the weed business, especially thieves and frauds.

Our company AgDynamix has also experienced this issue with this company, please share your experiences and this news with your colleagues and business partners to help identify the amount of recurrences.

To address the inquiry about the Insurance agent vs the Planning Director, these are two different people entirely, with the same name. John Ford Director of the Planning Department is actually a different person.

John Ford,

This is not accurate. My office manager has made several attempts to collect our “refund” check that you claimed to be willing to issue back in good faith that you made a mistake, mind you, no apology or attempt to address the problem. A good business would make an attempt to do so on your own accord, I don’t need to babysit other “professionals” to do what is ethical and moral. Your stint almost cost us the ability to obtain insurance period as you have developed a terrible relationship with the companies you were writing policies through. You walked by my office about a month ago, saw me in passing, and didn’t come prepared to do the right thing and come to find out you have really hurt a lot of people and their businesses the same if not worse! I am terribly disappointed to find out this is not a one time incident and the complaints have been building up for months in my office now. I am sorry we ever trusted that you would do the right thing and more importantly how you may have hurt a large group of people in this scheme, but in life, there are no shortcuts to success.

Delores Reeves, now that’s a name we haven’t heard of in a while…..Rumor has it that, she was on a furlough and lied to the system that her daughter was getting married. She doesn’t even have a daughter….makes me angry that people can get away with stealing millions from this small community and then work the court system. Almost zero time and is living like a carefree member of society and is moving back to Fortuna. She most likely will scam the elderly again. Continues to scam…. so she can have a unmonitored vacation time. Just amazing how people get away with stealing and are just slapped on the hand.

As a civilized nation we simply can’t allow individuals to pick and choose which laws they want to follow based on their personal feelings about whether or not each law is just. The slope is too slippery. This is the bottom line. Let it sink in for a minute.

Thankfully there is a great number of people that honor and respect the law because they value stability and security in society. Many of these people have no respect for those that blatantly break the law for personal profit and have no sympathy for the struggles that these criminals deal with as part of their illegal enterprises. Of course it isn’t a bad thing for businesses to cover their workers with insurance but there are very good reasons why honest law abiding citizens are flippant when those that profit from cheating society are cheated themselves.

And since you brought up the morality of this whole thing, maybe it’s time to be honest about how moral it is for profiteering producers and distributers of black market street drugs to act like they’re providing medicine for sick people when the reality is that they are involved in the industry only to make money. Sure there are people that use cannabis for epilepsy or cancer or whatever but there is no integrity in taking advantage of those unfortunate situations to rake in profits that honest people don’t have access to.

First of all I would like to say I believe that cannabis should be legal, but it is not. The states can pass whatever laws they want, but they are trumped by the Feds. (No Trump comments please.) The statement above:

“As a civilized nation we simply can’t allow individuals to pick and choose which laws they want to follow based on their personal feelings about whether or not each law is just. The slope is too slippery. This is the bottom line. Let it sink in for a minute.” by Karma is just about the same thing Sessions said in his first confirmation hearing.

Instead of the states passing laws about MJ, the laws need to be changed on a National level. For a brief civics lesson it goes local law superseded by state law superseded by Federal law. Until the Federal laws are changed anybody handling money associated with the cannabis industry can be prosecuted for laundering money, even if they pay their taxes. Hate to be a buzz kill, but reality sux sometimes.

I fully support legalization and agree that it never should have been illegal in the first place. However, I believe it’s important to have laws and that rogue individuals who see particular laws as “foolish” or “hypocritical” should not be allowed to reap rewards for breaking the laws that society has agreed on. By your reasoning a person that believes in equal distribution of wealth shouldn’t be punished for stealing cash from your purse because you have more than them and they think that’s “immoral” for some people to have more money than others. Laws need to be followed or changed if we don’t want to live in total anarchy.

Functionally 100% of legal cannabis business started illegally and/or still have an array of illegal activity going on in the background. I’m not saying that being cheated on their insurance serves them right, but rather I’m saying that I don’t feel sorry for them because they have or are still doing so much cheating themselves. The fact that they avoided getting busted until it became legal doesn’t excuse the fact that they chose to profit from illegal activity and have used those profits to get to where they are now. The fact that these people are being grandfathered into a profitable industry is a slap in the face to those that work hard to make their way legally, set the example for their children that crime isn’t a valid career option, and still struggle to achieve success.

What’s immoral is that marijuana has been illegal AT ALL. All the troubles, all the deaths and people in prison and the damn pot war has been unnecessary and cruel, immoral and I think illegal. The Feds blatantly lie to us to keep it illegal. They know it shouldn’t be but there’s a lot a business and control gained by fighting pot. The actual drug itself is not worth one bit of any of it. I am an alcoholic and haven’t had a drink for 42 years and I know alcohol can be a horrific drug. Pot not so much. The feds keep it illegal so all of the bullshit can go on.

If all the marijuana enthusiasts put half the effort into changing the law that they put into profiting from the illegal black market they probably could have changed the law a long time ago. Instead they focused their efforts on taking advantage of the situation to get top dollar for their product. “All the troubles, all the deaths and people in prison” are inherent and well know risks of illegal drug production and distribution. The simple and obvious way to avoid all of that is to choose a career other than being a drug dealing criminal. Play with the bull and you just might get the horns.

So if I decide that it’s unjust for you to earn money that my 93 year old grandmother can’t then I’m obligated and have a moral responsibility to take it from you and give it to her?
You really think society should leave it up to each and every citizen to pick and choose which laws they think they should follow or not?
This isn’t comparable to slavery or women’s suffrage. It isn’t a matter of just or unjust laws. It’s a matter of respect or no respect for people who choose to profit from criminal enterprises and integrity or no integrity in claiming to be a compassionate healthcare provider when you are not.

Yes. We passed a law for compassionate marijuana and suddenly everybody was a “healer” growing “medicine”. Then they were growing huge crops and blowing up greenhouses of “medicine” “for sick people”. I’m sorry Kym, but I have seen you cover for this scammed-out industry for years. And I think you’re a good person, just easily convinced. Probably because you have a good heart and want to believe that everybody else has one too? I’ve seen you rally behind greedy charlatans who I know are scammers, straight-up lying about growing “medicine” while sending it out of state and making millions to position themselves for the big corporate takeover that they also push for….I don’t trust your judgement about people. Yes- there are good folks. But …the scum is rising to the top around here. And all the good little people are getting run out. Your wonderful “legalization” is a terribly unfair scheme weighted to enrich the already- wealthy and the greediest of our local scammers. And I know this because I know many of them personally and I know their real back stories. I was here in the game for many years before they arrived and I saw their trips develop. I don’t develop a new idea about their integrity based on the crap they tell me because I’m not an impressionable blogger just wanting to tell a story about how wonderful they are and wonderful that they are blowing up huge farms of “medicine”…”for sick people”. And I think it’s hilarious to see some getting scammed back. Indeed, when Jeff Sessions’ program kicks in and many of these same scammers are caught up in federal conspiracy charges I will be howling with laughter. It’s going to be very funny around here! I sure hope he starts this year!!

I’m curious if he offered group health insurance through employers. If so, he might have violated federal law related to ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act). See: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ebsa/about-ebsa/our-activities/enforcement/erisa and:

Theft or Embezzlement from Employee Benefit Plan (18 U.S.C. Section 664); (2) False Statements or Concealment of Facts in Relation to Documents Required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (18 U.S.C. Section 1027); (3) Offer, Acceptance, or Solicitation to Influence Operations of Employee Benefit Plan (18 U.S.C. Section 1954).

If their is anything to be learned from this whole mess it’s that crime pays, for both the dope grower and the insurance scammer. If your dope business has been scammed and you wish to stay on top in this rotating game of culprit and victim then the obvious course of action is for you to rip off or scam the insurance scammer. The only down side is that then he’ll be the butthurt whiner and you’ll be the bad guy in the next round of blog comments.

Believe he is in the commercial for Cherie Heights Casino in Trinidad and more than likely gambling his clients money away. Time to pull the commercial. Don’t know him personally but he reminded me of a “SLICK” cars salesman around the real estate crowd in his day ! Wasn’t surprised to see this story.

He was a car salesman before he sold real estate. One of the “13” careers I guess. He is very unethical.

Remember…. He is not “guilty” till proven guilty…
Its funny how “some” people like to air crap online before they know the facts…
And only doing so , so they can make money… Life is an evil circle.
