TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (CBS12) — Florida officials say a former state employee processed more than 220 bogus propertydamage claims that siphoned $1.7 million from taxpayers, leading to the arrests of six people in what investigators call one of the state’s most brazen internal fraud schemes in recent years. The Florida Department of Financial Services’ Criminal Investigations Division (CID) announced the arrests on Monday after uncovering what they described as a coordinated effort to exploit the state’s Division of Risk Management. According to investigators, the fraudulent claims were submitted and approved over time, allowing the payouts to flow to individuals who had no legitimate losses. State leaders condemned the operation and warned that anyone else involved should come forward before investigators identify them. more at https://katv.com/news/nation-world/florida-news-arrest-1-7-million-dollars-scheme-cfo-blaise-ingoglia-built-on-more-than-200-fake-state-claims-tallahassee-division-of-risk-management-florida-department-of-financial-services-criminal-investigations-division-government

Sam Darnold’s big Super Bowl win Sunday night actually ended up costing the quarterback money. Because of California tax laws, the Seahawks star reportedly will owe more than the $178,000 he earned for helping lift Seattle to a 29–13 victory over the Patriots at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. According to Sportico, Darnold’s bill to the Golden State will be $249,000 following Seattle’s latest championship. The outlet stated the sizable check is due to California’s “jock taxes,” which force pro athletes who don’t live in the state to fork over percentages of their yearly income based on the number of days they work in California. more at https://nypost.com/2026/02/09/sports/sam-darnolds-california-tax-bill-exceeds-super-bowl-winnings/

note that banks often require notification of the check being altered within 30 days of it being cashed. check the image online at the bank to make sure it wasn't altered.

A female shooter has been convicted of attempted murder after she opened fire at a New Year’s Eve house party when she spotted her estranged husband and her boyfriend talking to each other. Olivia Clendenin, seen smirking in her mugshot, fired eight shots after she was unable to convince her ex-spouse to leave the shindig in Clearcreek Township, Ohio, according to Warren County prosecutors. Clendenin’s ex-hubby and new boyfriend mingled at the party, which was held to welcome in 2025, and both talked about their relationships with the shooter. Clendenin, 29, received word that both men had attended the bash, but her husband refused to leave the party. more at https://nypost.com/2026/02/04/us-news/ohio-woman-olivia-clendenin-opens-fire-at-house-party-after-finding-out-her-ex-husband-amp-new-boyfriend-were-socializing/
