‘Gotcha’: International Marine Insurance Fraud and Conspiracy: A Study Guide $7.34 STEAL, CHEAT, AND LIE YOUR WAY TO THE TOP–a growing practice on both sides of the Atlantic that’s costing consumers millions each year. Marine insurance is based on Uberrimae Fidei or utmost good faith but it hasn’t worked out that way. Author Ed Geary closely examines the schemes of marine insurance fraud and conspiracy that involves not only boat owners and policy holders, but insurance brokers, and marine underwriters. During his five year USCG training mission of the Venezuelan Coastguard Geary’s disclosure of the Central Intelligence Agency’s clandestine Operation Deep Six to destabilize the elected government of Venezuela and install Hugo Chavez as president put him in the cross-hairs of the Agency. Silencing him became an even greater priority when Geary exposed the CIA’s theft of high value yachts used in idiotic schemes to smuggle narcotics from Colombia to the United States. Gotcha delves into the flawed business practices of The London Salvage Association that ultimately destroyed an organization that’s been around before the reign of Queen Victoria and exposes the fraud and “trickle-down-corruption” that has tainted the Lloyd’s Agency System. After the melt-down of ENRON and WorldCom the cover-up of Arthur Andersen’s fraudulent ship valuation conspiracy by the once reliable Lloyd’s List in London challenges the imagination. |

Key Divergences Between English and American Law of Marine Insurance $76.65 From the time of Elizabeth I in the second half of the sixteenth century, London has dominated the marine insurance markets. This led the English to develop a law of marine insurance as well: a Chamber of Assurances was established in England in 1575, and the law of marine insurance, rooted in custom, developed through the cases decided by the courts.In the United States, marine insurance underwriting began in the eighteenth century, although British firms continued to dominate. The American law of marine insurance took its cue from English law; English legal precedents were cited routinely in American courts. For fifty years after the English law was codified in the Marine Insurance Act 1906 (MIA), it could truly be said that there was a unified Anglo-American law of marine insurance, and that English law was part of the general maritime law of the United States.The unity of the Anglo-American law, which was so beneficial to the functioning of the international marine insurance industry, was broken abruptly in 1955 by the decision of the United States Supreme Court in Wilburn Boat v. Fireman’s Fund Insurance Co., a case that created controversies over the uniformity of the law, which have yet to subside. The purpose of this work is to explore the extent of the breakdown of the uniformity of the law and to point to its cure. |
