Former Soaring Paws CEO Faces New Felony Fraud Charges
March 8, 2021
Albert Adams, who in 2018 pled guilty to using donations to his abused animal charity for personal expenses, faces a new round of felony fraud charges. The Hillsborough State Attorney’s Office in Florida has charged him with six third-degree felony counts of pet insurance fraud, according to a statement from the Office of the State Attorney, 13th Judicial Circuit, Florida.
Adams was arrested and held without bail on January 27, according to the
Tampa Bay Times.
According to the new charges, Adams purchased pet insurance from the Healthy Paws insurance provider. Between March 4 and April 8, 2020, he filed claims that netted him nearly $13,000 in reimbursement for medical procedures for two dogs that allegedly were not performed. The insurance provider’s investigators discovered Adams’ alleged fraud and contacted law enforcement, according to the State Attorney’s office.
