Save Sorrowful Su Soon

Ming's cousin Su of the law firm of Wei, Su, Yu and Wynn purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars, then insured them against fire among other things. Within a month having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy, the noble Su filed claim against the insurance company.

In his claim, Su stated the cigars were lost "in a series of small fires." The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason: that Ming's cousin had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion.

Su sued....and won! In delivering the ruling the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The Judge stated nevertheless, that lawyer Su held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be unacceptable fire," and was obligated to pay the claim.

Rather than endure a lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000.00 to the savvy Su for his loss of the rare cigars lost in the "fires."

After Su cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON!!!! With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used against him, poor Su was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000.00 fine.

This incendiary tale will hopefully burn you up enough to send Ming bail money to save Su soon. All checks should be made out to cash.
