Career criminals are not the only people who perpetrate insurance fraud. The temptation has become so great that almost anyone who is given the opportunity, will try. Those who do not premeditate insurance fraud are called perpetrators of soft frauds. Most are small. Some are not. 

As a lawyer the intentional concealment of a material fact with the intent to deceive an insurer to its detriment is fraud, a criminal act, and if convicted, grounds for disbarment. For that reason, the insured accepted the denial and did nothing further about the claim.

Had the insurer not done the minimum investigation and retained the services of a competent engineer it would have paid the $2,500,000.00 claim. He was lucky that the insurer agreed to a mutual rescission of the policy, a return of the premium, and to forget what was attempted.
