I see that the owner has been charged with fraud, car was insured for 2.2 mil. Might have got away with it had it not been for the original vid. Karma

Sounds like an insurance company trying to typically weisel out of payment. Descrapancies in his story from an iPhone video? Yea, sure.
Dude paid a lot of cash to insure it for 2.2mil. I don't give a crap if he drive it into the lake on purpose. It's I insured, he paid to have it insured and they insured him. End of story.
Car still brought 277k at auction!!

Maybe I just don't understand the dynamics of the incident. But as I see it, it's BS the insurance company is trying to back out.

Guy paid 1 mil for car and insured it for 2.2 mil. 1 month later it ends up in the water. Guy claims he swerved to avoid bird and/ or lost control looking for dropped phone. Video taken by some kids who liked the car shows up on YouTube proving his claims to be untrue. I think that's roughly the story.

I'm not 100 % but I think the initial story was the bird and the video disproved that so it changed to looking for cell phone which I guess the video also disproved? Edit- the story above makes no mention of the bird but I could swear I recall that being reported at the time.
