Former Idaho Agent Sentenced for Insurance Fraud

The insurance license of Zane Amy was revoked following an investigation by the Idaho Department of Insurance that showed he altered documents to get his clients premium discounts.

Ae was sentenced for insurance fraud, a felony in Idaho.

An audit by Farmers Insurance revealed that Amy had submitted false or altered documents so that his customers would receive premium discounts for which they did not qualify. He modified information to secure good student and other discounts.
