Some things don't seem very plausible. Obviously he was successful, but I doubt it was on a scale he tells it. If you're smuggling helicopters from Marseille to Chad, you don't deal with 40k insurance scams. I also doubt the claim of 35 million total in insurance fraud. If his scams were in the 40-200k range as mentioned in the article, he would need to deal with hundreds of claims. IMHO he's a medium level Frank Abagnale catch me if you can type con artist, who also likes to exaggerate his success. He's also a bit too open telling his story for everyone to know.

I read the whole thing and also did not appreciate the writing. Mostly it's just cliches and fluff, and superficial in that it didn't really dig deeper other than taking the said things for granted.
