Insurance Fraud Perpetrator Abuses The Court System

Leader of Staged Accident Ring Stays in Prison

Maxo Jean was the leader of a team of people who staged automobile accidents so that they could defraud insurers by presenting false and fraudulent claims supported by the work of unethical doctors, chiropractors and lawyers.

In United States Of America v. Maxo Jean, 13 Cr. 280 (DC), 18 Civ. 2888 (DC), United States District Court Southern District Of New York (October 3, 2018) the court was faced with more work from Mr. Jean years after his conviction of conspiracy to commit mail, wire, and health care fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1349. The District Court had sentenced Jean in 2014 principally to 120 months’ imprisonment and three years’ supervised release. Later, the Second Circuit affirmed Jean’s conviction and sentence. United States v. Jean, 647 F. App’x 1, 4-5 (2d Cir. 2016) (summary order). Unwilling to accept the decisions of the jury, the trial court and the Second Circuit Court of Appeal, Jean moved the court to vacate, set aside, or correct his sentence on the basis that his attorneys were constitutionally ineffective. He failed.

Maxo Jean was a very bad man who was convicted of multiple crimes as a result of his scheme to stage false auto accidents and use them – with his co-conspirators – to defraud insurance companies. He has abused the system by causing delays changing counsel, by filing a worthless appeal to the Second Circuit, by filing motions as his own attorney (probably because no honorable lawyer would file them) and bringing this last ditch motion claiming his counsel was ineffective. The public and the court system lost the time needed to deal with him. He will serve out the remainder of his sentence and, hopefully, will no longer abuse the court system.
