    A Brooklyn Center man faces federal charges after he lit his own camper on fire to make it look like a politically-motivated crime, and then allegedly filed several fraudulent insurance claims. The U.S. Attorney's Office says Denis Molla, 29, is charged with two counts of wire fraud in connection with the fire that took place on September 23, 2020.

    Molla reported to police that someone set fire to his camper "because it had a Trump 2020 flag displayed on it," and spray painted the Antifa or anarchy symbol, "BLM" and "Biden 2020" on his garage door. The U.S. Attorney's Office says Molla actually lit the fire and defaced the garage himself.

    Court documents show that Molla then "submitted multiple insurance claims seeking coverage for the damage to his garage, camper, vehicles, and residence caused by the fire."

    Molla submitted insurance claims totaling more than $300,000, receiving only $61,000 in the process. He then accused his insurance company of "defrauding him." Court documents show he also yielded more than $17,000 from two GoFundMe accounts.

    Charges: Man lit his camper on fire, defaced own garage to appear targeted due to Trump flag

    Not that smart. The political angle just made it look more suspicious than it otherwise would have been.

    Haha, as if there was any doubt, he slammed it home with “Biden 2020.” Since all people except MAGAduds have moved along to 2022 per reality, a reference to 2020 is a screaming confession. Could have even gone with 2024 if not for this bug that clearly has no coding fix.

    He probably didn’t intentionally set the fire. A more plausible scenario would him saying to a group of his beer drinking buddies “Hey y’all, watch this.”

    Looks like he tried to emulate perhaps without actually thinking his own Dear Leader although on a much smaller scale and not nearly as successfully. If I recall Trump and his fellow travelers in the conservative media tried to blame the January 6th attack on the Capitol on ANTIFA and Trump managed to milk his big lie by creating a defense fund that raised $250 million from gullible supporters not unlike that guy's GoFundMe accounts. Rather than consciously emulating Trump the more logical explanation is that the Donald and at least some of his followers have similar attitudes regarding respectful for the law and societal norms.

    I think the second that story broke, you knew the guy had done it himself. Couldn't even do the anarchist symbol right. Anarchists for Biden! Only something that would make sense to someone steeped in online conservative lore.

    This is a false flag, no Trump supporter would be photographed in a mask like that

    Talking about wire fraud......I don't normally bring these things up about lower level politicians but I know you guys love when a Republican city councilman or mayor is charged. How about a Democrat Senator being charged with Wire fraud and stealing campaign funds.....

    Yeah I know it is a bit off topic although I did say talking bout wire fraud......Anyway I thought about starting a thread about this the other day but I think it is so stupid when Dems on here post threads about relatively unimportant republicans so I chose just to mention it in an existing thread.

    You picked the least amusing thing about the story to go off on a tangent with, but I guess someone beat you to a Jussie reference and you didnt have much material to work with.

    Maybe this should become the running Wire fraud/ arson thread?

    I knew the first thing they'd do is go with the "hurr durr Jussie Smollett" deflection so I got that out of the way quick. Eminem's character in 8 Mile would be proud.
