Belgian Insurer Drops Claims Against One of 11 Defendants in Fraud Complaint

Subrogee plaintiff Credendo-Short-Term Non-EU Risks, a Belgian insurer, dismissed all claims, without prejudice, asserted in its fraud claim against defendant Bruce Salzman, said its voluntary dismissal of claims notice Friday (docket 1:23-cv-24258) in U.S. District Court for Southern Florida in Miami. The plaintiff’s November fraud complaint (see 2311080014) alleges defendants Telco Solutions, Telco Enterprise and Voister received VoIP minutes from Milan-based Golem under “misrepresented pretenses” and didn’t pay for them. Salzman was one of 11 individuals and companies named in the alleged scheme in which the defendants “fraudulently reinstated certain companies,” misappropriated corporate identities to enter into "fraudulent contracts for VoIP services,” incorporated “identically-named” companies to open escrow accounts to send and receive funds under the fraudulent contracts, and defrauded the plaintiff of over 1.4 million euros ($1.5 million).
